Synopsis

Source of validity: Traditional
Rating (out of 5): 1

Antler, often referred to as "deer antler velvet," has been used in traditional Chinese medicine for centuries as a tonic for enhancing vitality, treating impotence, and boosting sex drive (libido). The historical use is rooted in the belief that antler velvet contains vital substances that can restore yang energy and improve reproductive function. However, scientific studies evaluating the efficacy of deer antler velvet for improving sex drive are limited and of generally low quality. Most clinical research has focused on its potential effects on physical strength, joint health, or recovery, rather than on sexual function directly. Some laboratory studies have identified growth factors and hormones in deer antler velvet, but the clinical significance and bioavailability after oral administration remain unclear. There is no robust clinical trial evidence supporting its effectiveness in treating low sex drive. Consequently, its use for this purpose is primarily justified by traditional practices rather than strong scientific validation.
