Naturally, the best results come from the best quality wapiti (elk) velvet antler. VELVET LIFE goes to great lengths to ensure a dietary supplement of superior quality and effectiveness. North American wapiti (elk) are highly prized for their size, strength and antler quality. Their antler is the fastest growing tissue of any mammal on earth - a condensed nutritional energy with an enormous potential for humans. Our ranch-raised wapiti produce over five (5) tons of wapiti antler each year, an abundant harvest reflecting conscientious herd management in breeding, nutrition and harvesting. Typically, antlers are harvested in the spring, when the antlers are in the “velvet” stage of peak nutritional potency. Strict standards are maintained throughout the wapiti antler processing to ensure nutrients retain their optimum natural bioactivity, making them much more bio-effective and bio-efficient than isolated man-made ingredients. Especially important is that our wapiti are treated safely, humanely and with respect and dignity both in year-round management as well as in harvesting, done with a state of the art process which allows the wapiti to return, pain free, to their normal free-range area after only a few minutes of confinement, to be undisturbed for another year.
