Velvet antler is generally considered safe for most healthy adults when taken in recommended amounts. However, as with any supplement, individual reactions can vary. We recommend speaking with your healthcare provider before use.
We proudly source our velvet antler directly from our own Rocky Mountain elk herd on the Noble Elk Farm in Beloit, Wisconsin, USA. This ensures complete traceability from our pasture to your supplement. We oversee the entire process—from raising strong, healthy bulls to harvesting during peak potency—without outsourcing. Once harvested, the velvet antler is processed in-house in an FDA-regulated facility, where we produce Grade A whole antler powder, capsules, and slices.
Yes, many athletes use them for joint support and recovery, but check with your doctor or sport’s guidelines before starting. Velvet antler is naturally rich in compounds like collagen, glucosamine, and chondroitin, which support joint mobility and may help with post-workout recovery.
Velvet antler is the soft, living tissue of growing antlers, harvested before they harden. It’s rich in minerals and bioactive compounds. Our supplements support joint health, mobility, recovery from activity, and even immune and mental wellness—for both people and dogs.
Grade A velvet antler is harvested during peak potency while the antler is soft and very rich in minerals and nutrients. Cervid Labs only processes grade A velvet antler. This antler powder has a brownish color with a tint of red and has a potent antler smell. Lower quality antler products will have a tan/grey color and a much more dull overall appearance.
We raise Rocky Mountain elk on our Beloit, WI farm, selecting bulls bred for body and antler quality. Velvet antler is harvested humanely by professionals, then processed under strict hygiene standards, and formulated into supplements in controlled facilities.
Yes. When taken as directed, velvet supplements are generally safe for healthy adults and dogs. However, we recommend consulting your healthcare provider or veterinarian if you (or your pet) have underlying health conditions, are pregnant (or a pregnant pet), or are on medications.
Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. For humans, follow the dosage instructions on the label. For pets, you can offer tablets as a topper on food or use chews as directed. Always monitor intake and consult professionals if in doubt.
