The majestic Altai is one of the most mysterious places on the planet. This is a beautiful country of high mountains, swift clean rivers and clear lakes. Nature here has a powerful healing power. The Altai deer lives in Altai, an amazing animal that gives a person a wonderful opportunity to turn back time.
Why are velvet antlers and preparations of reindeer antler breeding called the “living gold” of Altai?
For centuries, the non-ossified horns of the Altai deer (antlers) have been an invaluable tool for oriental medicine. In ancient China, medicines made from antlers and red deer's blood were valued more than gold, and only the elite, including the emperor and members of his family, could use them. In the countries of Southeast Asia, such funds are still considered an expensive gift, and gray-haired sages recommend them as “a magical elixir of life and eternal youth.”
Currently, antler reindeer breeding is developed in many countries in the world. Along with Russia, deer are bred in Canada and New Zealand, but the Altai deer has no equal in terms of the content of useful substances in antlers. Because of living in pristine nature and consuming many medicinal plants that grow only in Altai, Altai deer's antlers accumulate a unique complex of biologically active components: micro- and macroelements, peptides, as well as nucleic acid bases. Therefore, the blood and antlers of red deer have various effects on the body.
