Testosterone deficiency in adult men does not only affect reproductive functions but can also cause metabolic syndrome (diabetes, hypertension, obesity), decline in the functions of various organs, emotional problems and even decrease life expectancy. These are exactly the same symptoms as that of kidney-yang deficiency in traditional Chinese medical theory.
Testosterone is not the only factor undermining men’s reproductive functions. 80% of erectile challenges & infertility in men are caused by cardiovascular problems and oxidative stress. Erectile dysfunction in younger male is considered an early sign of major comorbidity. In order to maintain the best health condition for a long time, men must start to take care of themselves in all aspects when they are around 40 years old.
Synthetic “testosterone boosting” products may deliver some short-lived effects but they do not address the root cause, and may cause serious health risks (e.g. stroke, stop to bodies own natural production of testosterone etc.). Your best option is a pure natural health supplement that addresses the root cause to achieve long-lasting results without side effects.
MEN’S TESTOSTERONE STARTS DECLINING AT THE AGE OF 19! (DO YOU HAVE 'LOH'?)
During puberty, testosterone triggers the development of male reproductive organs, sexual characteristics and muscles. Male testosterone level peaks at 18-19 years old and from then onwards declines with age. After 30, the rate of decline is about 1% per year, and after 40, the rate of decline increases to about 1.6% yearly.
Adult males should have a testosterone level of 240-950 nanograms per deciliter (ng/dL). When it drops below 300 ng/dL, it is medically defined as "late hypogonadism" (LOH).
International surveys show that 39% of men over 40 have symptoms of LOH. The result from a corresponding survey in Hebei, China in 2011 is 38%.
Most men over 60 years old suffer from LOH.
Factors such as medication, metabolic syndrome (diabetes, hypertension, obesity), high blood pressure, sickness (e.g. ptosis), testicular injury, stress, poor habits (lack of sleep, smoking & alcohol) will also accelerate the decline in testosterone level.
HEALTH PROBLEMS CAUSED BY LOW TESTOSTERONE LEVEL (OR 'LOH' HIGH RISK)
- diminished libido & erectile quality
- reduction in sperm production & testicle size
- increase of blood pressure, blood sugar & abdominal fat mass
- mood changes, depression and anger
- reduced mental focus, memory & cognitive function
- dry skin & worsening of chronic skin diseases
- breast enlargement (in 25% of men aged 50-80)
- slower red blood cell production
- insomnia & poor sleep quality
- chronic fatigue
- decrease in muscle mass & strength
- decreased body hair
- osteopenia and osteoporosis
- nerve pain or numbness
RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN LOW TESTOSTERONE & MORTALITY
(Research by University of Seattle, Washington, USA)
Low testosterone level is associated with increased mortality rate. The mortality rate of the low-testosterone group is 88% higher than that of the normal-testosterone group.
MEAN FOLLOW-UP PERIOD: 4.3 years
CLASSIFICATION STANDARD:
total testosterone 250 ng/dL
CLASSIFICATION: 3 groups (i.e. low testosterone, equivocal testosterone & normal testosterone)
RESULTS:
The mortality rates of the low-testosterone group, the equivocal-testosterone group & the normal-testosterone group were 34.9%, 24.6% and 20.1% respectively. The mortality risk of the low-testosterone group was 88% higher than that of the normal-testosterone group.
CONCLUSION:
Low testosterone levels were associated with increased mortality. Further prospective studies are needed to examine the association between low testosterone levels and mortality.

DECLINE OF TESTOSTERONE CAUSED BY COVID:
50% OF MALE PATIENTS WHO HAVE HAD COVID ARE UNABLE TO RECOVER TO PRE-COVID TESTOSTERONE LEVELS, EVEN AFTER 7 MONTHS!
Professor Kwok-yung Yuen, Department of Microbiology of the University of Hong Kong, says that both the Omicron and the Delta variants of COVID can cause hypogonadism (diminished functional activity of the gonads / testes & decreased fertility in men), even among male patients who have recovered from COVID.
Professor Salonia, a Urology & Endocrinology specialist at San Raffaele Hospital, Italy, discovered that more than 50% of men who recovered from COVID still showed signs of hypogonadism at the 7-month follow-up. In as many as 10% of cases, testosterone levels even further decreased.
Testosterone has anti-inflammatory and immune-modulatory protective effects, achieved by regulating the differentiation of T lymphocytes. Low testosterone levels can worsen clinical conditions by exacerbating cytokine storms and increasing pro-inflammatory cytokines. Inflammatory cytokines levels remaining abnormally high after recovery from COVID is one of the main causes of LONG COVID.
Western medicine is exploring the concept of using testosterone treatments to combat of LONG COVID.
KIDNEYS CONTROL THE STAGES OF LIFE, REPRODUCTION & OVERALL HEALTH
- Aged 7: The kidney energy has developed to level to fuel rapid hair grow and the growth of permanent teeth.
- Aged 15: Kidney energy is booming, sufficient to generate essential substances for reproduction. The overflow of essence and energy leads to semen leakage. Ready for sexual intercourse and produce offspring.
- Aged 23: Kidney energy is more abundant. Orthopaedically strong. Wisdom teeth grow.
- Aged 31: Reach the peak of orthopaedic strength. Abundant muscle.
- Aged 39: Kidney energy declines. Hair drops and teeth are weakened.
- Aged 47: Yang energy is seriously exhausted. Complexion turns dull and hair turns grey.
- Aged 55: The liver 'QI' energy is weakened. Body becomes less flexible.
- Aged 63: The essential substances for reproduction run out. The essence of vitality is limited. The kidneys are weak. The body is no long the same as before. More loss of hair and teeth.
The above-mentioned western medical findings are highly similar to the descriptions of kidney yang (male energy) deficiency in traditional Chinese medicine. The term "kidney" in Chinese medicine refers to the body's regulatory mechanism which is composed of the kidneys, adrenal glands and gonads (testicles).
TCM believes that the kidneys store the essence of life-sustaining substances. Such essence drives the growth of the human body & reproduction and holds the key to the health of other organs. When the kidney essence is depleted with age and the kidney yang energy deteriorates, the same symptoms as LOH appear.
According to the ancient Chinese "Yellow Emperor’s Internal Classic", a man’s kidney energy begins to weaken at the age of 39 and at 47 years old his yang (male) energy is exhausted.
Western medicine points out that weak kidney function can jeopardise the male reproductive system:
- Wastes and body fluids remain in the body, causing fatique
Modern science has confirmed that the kidney simultaneously affects the functions of reproduction, urinary, immunity, metabolism, cardiovascular, central nervous system, bones, muscles and joints.
The "Medical Must-Read", a Ming Dynasty TCM literature, states that "Nurturing the kidneys is a top priority. Nurturing the kidneys is nurturing life." This statement is completely logical & outlines a clear approach to assist with adult men's health issues... so there is hope, if action is taken to support kidney health & energise / nurture life-force!
80% OF ERECTILE DYSFUNCTION & MEN’S INFERTILITY ARE UNRELATED TO LOW TESTOSTERONE LEVEL
Medical researchers have found that testosterone is not the only factor affecting men’s reproductive function.
The causes of arterial calcification include smoking, hypertension, diabetes, atherosclerosis and high cholesterol. The increased calcification of the main arteries and small blood vessels affects the normal functioning of blood circulation, making it difficult for the blood vessels to effectively guide blood to the penis to achieve an erection.
The process of making sperm is easily affected by external factors. Oxidative stress destroys sperm's genes, disrupts its normal activities, and accelerates cell apoptosis. The number of sperm is reduced, the mobility is weakened, and the abnormalities in the shape and structure are aggravated, leading to the collapse of the overall function.

IS DEER VELVET SUITABLE FOR PEOPLE WITH CARDIOVASCULAR ISSUES?
Deer Velvet can help improve cardiovascular health! TCM classifies the root cause of cardiovascular problems into 2 types: "Kidney Yang Deficiency" and "Yin Deficiency & Fire Exuberance". People with cardiovascular problems should consider their own body nature. Deer velvet is suitable for people with yang deficiency.
People with kidney yin deficiency (feel hot even in winter, dry mouth & lips, yellowish complexion, yellowish urine, hot & irritable temper) may not be suitable for taking ingredients such as deer velvet, ginseng, ganoderma and cordyceps.
DEER VELVET'S EXTENSIVE EFFICACIES PROVED BY SCIENCE
The "Compendium of Materia Medica" and other TCM masterpieces have long established deer velvet antler’s efficacy in recharging the kidney yang (male) energy.
Likewise the "Dictionary of Traditional Chinese Medicine" states that deer velvet antler treats a wide range of men’s health concerns including weak kidney, dizziness, deafness, impotence, pre-ejaculation, mental fatigue, feeling cold, cold pain in the lumbar spine and orthopaedics problems.
Deer velvet antler is rich in amino acids (arginine, glutathione, lysine and methionine), trace elements (zinc, manganese, selenium) and antioxidant substances. These nutrients help:
- promote red blood cell production & blood’s the oxygen carrying capacity
- increase testosterone levels in men
- enhance blood circulation and arterial elasticity (better cardiovascular health & erectile function)
- increase sperm count, density and vitality
- protect sperm
DEER VELVET ANTLER: A UNIQUE SUPERFOOD

Trace elements: iron, zinc, copper, sulfur, manganese, selenium, cobalt.
THE COMBINATION OF "DEER VELVET + ASTAXANTHIN"
IS A UNIQUELY HOLISTIC HEALTH SUPPLEMENT.
Professor Gu Baoqun of Nanjing University of Chinese Medicine published an article titled "Research Progress on Longevity & Anti-aging Chinese Medicine", based on traditional Chinese medicine research using modern science and technology.
The top animal-based ingredient is DEER VELVET ANTLER which is far superior to Reishi Mushrooms / Lingzhi (ganoderma) and Caterpillar Fungus (cordyceps).
Astaxanthin is the strongest anti-oxidant and anti-inflammatory substance on earth. Its antioxidant power is 6000 times stronger than that vitamin C (SOQP test). ORAC tests have proved that the antioxidant capacity of natural astaxanthin is 739 times that of ginseng, 305 times that of ganoderma and 240 times that of cordyceps. It can protect the overall health of the kidneys and other organs. The combination of “deer velvet antler + astaxanthin” is so unique and holistic that there is no need to take multiple types of other health supplements (e.g. those seen in the table below) at the same time.

ASTAXANTHIN: THE STRONGEST NATURAL ANTIOXIDANT,
SUPPORTING MEN'S REPRODUCTIVE FUNCTION
Human cells produce free radicals during metabolism. When the antioxidants in the body are insufficient to neutralize the free radicals, "oxidative stress" occurs. The consequences can be dire.
- Inflammatory cells damage body tissues, causing problems such as diabetes, cardiovascular disease, autoimmune disease and cancer. (Cardiovascular disease also hinders erectile function.)
- The quality, quantity and activity level of sperm are undermined.
Astaxanthin is the strongest natural antioxidant and anti-inflammatory substance on earth. Its antioxidant power is 6000 times stronger than that of vitamin C.
Clinical studies have shown that astaxanthin can effectively promote blood circulation in capillaries, lower blood pressure and resist erectile dysfunction caused by vascular problems.
Astaxanthin protects the lipids of sperm cell membranes, avoids oxidation and protects the ability of sperm to bond with eggs.
CASE STUDY: TREATMENT OF MALE INFERTILITY WITH ASTAXANTHIN
Double blind, randomized trial, 30 men with infertility of ≥12 months and fertile female partners. Each participant took either a strong antioxidant AstaReal astaxanthin 16 mg/day or placebo for 3 months.
RESULTS:
The total and per cycle pregnancy rates among the placebo cases (10.5 % and 3.6 %) were lower compared with 54.5 % and 23.1 % in the Astaxanthin group (P = 0.028; P = 0.036). Astaxanthin improves the total pregnancy rate by 419% & the per cycle pregnancy rate by 542%.

WESTERN MEDICINE 'TRT' APPROACH COMES WITH RISK: Major Disadvantages
Some men jump into testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) or self-administer over-the-counter TRT drugs, without knowing or simply ignoring the serious shortcomings & potentially deadly adverse side effects.
TRT only delivers very temporary effects. Stopping TRT brings direct consequences.
Once stopped, the testosterone level drops. Stopping TRT after applying it for around 1 month, the user will experience a drop in energy & libido and very often will become irritable & feel depressed.
TRT disables your body's own natural testosterone function & ability to naturally produce testosterone.
TRT causes the cells that produce testosterone to shut down, even causing a permanent inability to naturally produce testosterone as well as softening and shrinkage of the testicles (I.E. permanent damage / total reliance on TRT intervention for non-natural testosterone becomes your only choice).
SIDE EFFECTS:
- Increased blood clots, heart disease & risk of stroke
- Increased prostate abnormalities (e.g. prostate enlargement by 12%)
- Increased risk of prostate cancer
- Problems with urination symptoms (e.g. decreased urine flow or frequency)
- Breast enlargement
- Reduced fertility (undermining sperm production)
- Testicular size reduction
- Increase sleep apnea symptoms
- Mood swings & depression
- Swelling (water retention)

Dr. Li Shizhen in the revered & infamous "Compendium of (TCM) Materia Medica" states that when a persons’ "Qi" energy is exhausted, the effect of treatment using other elixir tonics would be very slow, compared to using "Deer Velvet Antler" to replenish & heal the body.
Based on modern Western scientific research testing verification, the "China Pharmacopoeia" has confirmed the efficacy of Deer Velvet Antler & includes it as a valid TCM ingredient, but it excludes all other deer related ingredients (i.e. 'Deer Tail' and 'Deer Pizzle / Deer Testicles' are not included in the Pharmacopoeia nor are they mentioned to have any health benefits whatsoever). This shows that the efficacy / health benefits of Deer Velvet Antler is indeed real, reliable & can be trusted.
ASTAXANTHIN IS SAFE, HOWEVER VITAMIN C, D & E, CoQ-10, BETA CAROTENE, CUMIN ETC. CAN WORRYINGLY BECOME PRO-OXIDANT & HAZARDOUS TO YOUR HEALTH.
- Astaxanthin is the only type of antioxidant that can protect cells on both the inside and the outside. Other antioxidants only work on one side of the cell membrane. For example, Vitamin E only works on the inner side of the cell membrane, while Vitamin C only works on the outside of the cell membrane.
- Astaxanthin is a pure antioxidant which is exceptionally safe and stable even when subjected to enormous amount of stress from environmental factors and free radicals. Beaware that other antioxidants, such as Beta Carotene, CoQ10, Cumin, Zeaxanthin, Vitamin E, C, D and Selenium can turn pro-oxidant under pathologic conditions and actually cause cell damage / adversely harm your health.
