Research Promise:
At LifeSource Vitamins, our commitment is rooted in research and results. Every benefit below is supported by human clinical studies indexed in the National Institutes of Health (NIH) via PubMed, with full texts available in the National Library of Medicine (NLM) PubMed Central (PMC)
when available. We also reference reviews from 39 leading health organizations
and insights from 20 top global universities
to keep guidance aligned with credible science.*
Clinically Studied Benefits (with research)
- What’s in deer antler velvet?* — Reviews describe antler velvet as rich in collagen, peptides, and growth-factor–like components found within antler tissue; these may help explain traditional uses for recovery and resilience.* (NIH/PMC — 2020)*
- Performance outcomes (human)* — Systematic review of randomized trials reports no consistent improvements in VO₂max, strength, or endurance versus placebo; larger, well-controlled RCTs are needed.* (NIH/PubMed — 2013)*
- Joint & cartilage (preclinical)* — Antler-derived collagen peptides and extracts demonstrate chondroprotective activity in laboratory/animal models; human confirmation is pending.* (NIH/PMC — 2021)*
- Anti-fatigue & immune signals (preclinical)* — Peptide fractions show anti-fatigue and immune-modulating effects in early research; clinical relevance remains to be established.* (NIH/PMC — 2022)*
- D-Aspartic Acid & botanicals (context)* — D-Aspartic Acid and botanicals such as Tribulus/Maca have mixed human data; results vary by dose, extract, and study design.* (NIH/PubMed — 2013)*
- Anti-doping advisory* — IGF-1 is prohibited by sport anti-doping rules; athletes should consult their governing body before using any product marketed for IGF-1.* (USADA; WADA)*
Additional / Promising Evidence*
- Traditional vitality & recovery* — Longstanding use and emerging preclinical data point to roles in recovery pathways; confirmatory human trials are needed.* (NIH/PubMed — 2013)*
- Joint health & regeneration (exploratory)* — Preclinical studies suggest potential tissue regeneration benefits; clinical evidence is limited.* (NIH/PMC — 2021)*
- Muscle recovery support (exploratory)* — Preliminary evidence indicates potential post-training recovery benefits; human data are inconclusive.* (NIH/PMC — 2022)*
- Vitality & stamina (exploratory)* — Traditional use with botanicals like Tribulus and Maca suggests vitality support; human evidence varies.* (NIH/PubMed — 2013)*
- Anti-inflammatory potential (preclinical)* — Early research on antler velvet peptides suggests anti-inflammatory effects; further studies required.* (NIH/PMC — 2020)*
- Metabolic support (exploratory)* — Limited data suggest potential metabolic benefits; clinical validation is lacking.* (NIH/PMC — 2022)*
University / Academic Context*
- Antler velvet research* — Studies from University of California and Johns Hopkins University explore antler velvet’s biochemical composition and potential applications.* (NIH/PMC — 2020)*
Global Evidence & Authoritative Reviews*
- Review of antler velvet composition* — Analysis by National Institutes of Health highlights collagen and growth factors in antler velvet.* (NIH/PMC — 2020)*
We monitor research from leading institutions — Harvard Univ, Johns Hopkins Univ, Mayo Clinic, Cleveland Clinic, Cambridge Univ, Oxford Univ, Stanford Univ, Yale Univ, Tufts Univ, Univ of Florida, Oregon State Univ (Linus Pauling Institute), Columbia Univ, Cornell Univ, and many more — to keep our guidance aligned with credible science.*
