Rating (out of 5): 1

Elk antler, often referred to as "deer antler velvet," has been used in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) for centuries for a variety of conditions, including fatigue, sexual dysfunction, and to promote overall vitality. In TCM, deer or elk antler velvet is sometimes prescribed for male sexual health, which can include conditions like premature ejaculation (PE). The rationale is based on the idea that antler velvet "tonifies the kidney yang," which in TCM is associated with sexual function and reproductive health. However, there is minimal direct mention of elk antler specifically for premature ejaculation in classic texts; rather, it is more broadly used for impotence or general sexual weakness. Scientific evidence supporting elk antler's use for premature ejaculation is extremely limited. Most modern research on elk antler velvet has focused on its potential for enhancing athletic performance, wound healing, or boosting immune function, with little to no rigorous clinical data addressing sexual dysfunction or specifically premature ejaculation. Any purported benefits are extrapolated from general tonic effects rather than demonstrated through placebo-controlled clinical trials. In summary, elk antler’s use for premature ejaculation is primarily justified by traditional practices, with weak and indirect supporting evidence.
