woodbyter, you got me thinking

After reading your reply I did a bit of internet searching on Elk Velvet Horn. In March 2003 researchers in Calgary solicited volunteers to participate in a study to find out if the antlers do in fact assist in relieving the pain of arthritis (www.ucalgary.ca/news/march03/elk-velvet.html). There is no indication that the study is complete. I also found the Canadian Quackery Watch, which sites the FDA Driaft Guidance of May 16, 2003 (www.dietfraud.com/Pumping-up/Elk-velvet/). Apparently not everyone believes that elk velvet horn is safe for human or animal consumption.

I believe that I will wait for the study to come to some sort of conclusion.
