Synopsis

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

Antler, particularly deer antler, has a long history of use in traditional Chinese medicine for supporting recovery from injuries. It is believed to promote tissue repair, strengthen bones, and enhance overall physical resilience. The traditional rationale is based on the concept that antler contains "jing" or vital essence, which is thought to nourish and regenerate the body, especially after trauma or physical exertion. However, the scientific evidence supporting these claims is limited. While some modern studies have investigated antler extracts for their potential to influence cartilage repair, inflammation, and healing processes, most of this research is preliminary, often conducted on animals, and results are inconclusive for humans. There is no robust clinical evidence to confirm that antler supplements significantly enhance recovery from injuries. Thus, while its use is justified by a rich tradition, especially in East Asian medical practices, the current scientific validation remains weak, and effectiveness for treating injuries has not been firmly established.
