Synopsis

Source of validity: Traditional
Rating (out of 5): 2

Antler, particularly deer antler velvet, has a long history of use in traditional Chinese medicine and other Asian medicinal systems as a tonic to support male reproductive health, fertility, and sexual function. These traditional uses are based on the belief that antler velvet enhances yang energy, increases vitality, and improves libido. The ingredient is often used in herbal formulations for addressing impotence, premature ejaculation, and low sperm count. However, scientific evidence supporting these uses is limited. Some animal studies and small clinical trials suggest that deer antler velvet may have androgenic or anabolic effects, potentially influencing hormone levels, sperm production, or sexual performance. Still, these studies are generally low-quality, with small sample sizes and inconsistent outcomes. There is insufficient robust clinical evidence to clearly validate the efficacy of antler velvet for male reproductive health in humans. Most claims rely on anecdotal or traditional knowledge rather than rigorous scientific validation. Therefore, while antler is traditionally used for this purpose, its effectiveness remains unproven by modern scientific standards.
