Deer antler is rich in collagen [ 58], and the use of acid as an extraction medium can open the cross-linkage bonds between collagen molecules, while disrupting tryptophan, serine and tyrosine, allowing intact proteins to be cleaved into peptide segments. Acetic acid with pH between 3.5–4.0 is widely used for DAPs extraction. Shu-Wen et al. used acetic acid to extract DAPs with cell proliferation-promoting activity [ 46], and Chaohua et al. found that acetic acid-extracted DAPs have positive implications for neurodegenerative diseases [ 47]. In addition, acid-extracted DAPs have been found to be useful in the treatment of tumors and heart muscle damage, as well as in lowering blood sugar [ 13, 48, 50].Sprinkling some of our Antler Powder onto your dog’s food can help to reduce cholesterol.

Then, the velvet is removed from the antler bone, dried, ground into a fine powder, and processed into its supplement form.
