The following is an introduction to the nutritional benefits of velvet antler. There are many ways to take velvet antler. In addition to grinding it into powder and swallowing it, you can also chew it directly in your mouth or make tea, soak it in wine, stew it, etc. The method of taking it varies according to different needs. If you want velvet antler to achieve the effect of nourishing the kidneys and strengthening bones and preventing osteoporosis, it is best to take 1-2 pieces (0.5-1 grams) of velvet antler slices and put them directly into your mouth, let the saliva slowly dissolve it, slowly swallow the saliva containing velvet antler, and finally chew the remaining residue and swallow it. This is much more convenient than grinding it into powder and swallowing it, and the absorption rate of the effective ingredients is also higher. You can also chew the velvet slices after making tea, but the dosage should be slightly larger. When grinding it into powder, the dosage is even larger, which can be 1-3 grams.

In the northern part of my country, many people use good wine to soak deer antlers. Drinking a small cup of wine every day can not only "reinvigorate the body", but also relieve the joint pain caused by rheumatoid arthritis. This is indeed a good method in the northern part, but it may aggravate the pain in the southern part. This is because rheumatoid arthritis in the north is generally caused by cold and dampness, while in the south it is mainly caused by dampness and heat. In addition, people who are intolerant to alcohol or have liver and kidney damage, as well as patients with gastritis and peptic ulcers, are not suitable for taking deer antler wine. People with osteoporosis are also not suitable for taking deer antler wine because ethanol will affect the body's absorption and utilization of calcium.

After the water boils, switch to slow fire and stew for 2-3 hours before taking it. You can also take 5-10 grams of deer antler slices, put them in an electric rice cooker or casserole, stew meat for 2-3 hours first, then add deer antler, and then stew together for about 2 hours before eating. It can also be paired with dates, wolfberries, lotus seeds, lilies, angelica, ginseng, etc.

Finally, I would like to remind everyone that you should start taking antler tablets with a small dose and increase the dosage slowly. You should not take a large amount at once, so as to avoid the rise of Yang and wind, dizziness and red eyes. People with a strong physique who do not need to take antler tablets or those who take too much antler tablets are prone to headache, chest tightness or nosebleeds. Once these symptoms occur, you should stop taking the tablets immediately and observe. If necessary, seek medical treatment. Do not continue to take the tablets.
