Elk Velvet Antler, Uncovered
Dr. Delores E. Gockowski, Wapiti Labs Consulting Veterinarian
Elk Velvet Antler is the inner core of the rapidly growing antler called velvet and unlike other nutritional support products, the origin is a natural, renewable resource. Elk velvet antler resourced for Wapiti Labs products originate in the USA where stringent CWD monitoring occurs assuring the end user of the highest quality available product.

Elk Velvet Antler needs no introduction to Oriental, Canadian and Russian users as it has been used as a tonifying herb for 2000 years to improve function of internal organs, strengthen the body, boost immunity, and improve overall health. A review by Dr. John S. Church of the properties of Elk Velvet Antler is broad and includes:

 stimulating and tonic effects	 hemotopoietic effects
 androgenic/gonadotrophic effects	 anti-stress effects
 hypotensive and cardiovascular effects	 growth-stimulating effects
 accelerated recovery from injury	 retardation of aging
 anti-cholesterol effects	 anti-tumor effects

For veterinarians utilizing Oriental herbal medicine modalities, Elk Velvet Antler is a Yang tonifying herb. According to the book, Chinese Medical Herbology and Pharmacology, Yang represents the upper, posterior and exterior parts of the body. Physiologically, it represents body functioning, such as energy level, rate of metabolism, and state of awareness. Pathologically, it represents disharmony or imbalance of body organs. It is the complement to and opposite of Yin.

For the traditional veterinarian, the components and functions of Elk Velvet Antler will be recognized as minerals, proteins, collagens, lipids, growth hormones and factors. With the realization that many of today's supportive products are based on quality nutrition, the components of Elk Velvet Antler meet many nutritional needs to support wellness and recovery. These components include:

 Calcium	 Proteins	 Copper

These Products Work!- Stories of Success

“ I have been using the Wapiti Labs Mobility formula for a little over a month and I have seen great results. I have a 2 year old boxer that already has some arthritis. Like a boxer, she plays hard and runs fast which doe not help her achy joints. Since I have been using the Mobility formula she limps less and seems to recover faster. I also feel great because I know that this is a natural and safe remedy for her issues”.

Skyah

"In August, 2007 our 7 years old, 108# Great Pyrenees/Golden Retriever mix tore the cruciate in her hind leg. Even after surgery, the limp that she had just never went away. We tried several different supplements, and although one in particular helped, the limp still stayed and she continued to favor that leg. In the middle of March of this year we started Skathach on the Wapiti Labs Mobility Formula. Within 2 weeks we noticed the change. Now, 7 weeks later, Skathach no longer walks with a limp, or favors her back leg in any way. She plays with the 25# Tibetan Terrier for hours in the back yard. The difference has been phenomenal!!! Everybody who has seen her and knows her history has commented on the change and wants to know how we accomplished it. It has been a complete blessing. We highly, highly recommend the Wapiti Labs Mobility Formula."
