Antlers vs. Horns

Posted by Claire Tatick on August 28, 2003

Q: Is the medicinal benefit of the velvet different for each type of animal.

A: I'm unaware of a medicinal use of antler velvet although I do know people grind up antlers and horns and ingest these. To the best of my knowledge, there is no research evidence to suggest that there is any value in either the antler or the velvet for human consumption.
