We are not aware of specific human studies regarding the role of deer antler velvet supplement in erectile dysfunction as of 2011 performed in the US.

The 16th century Materia Medica, a standard text of Chinese herbalists, lists deer velvet as one of the most highly prized natural medicinal substances.

What's in it?
Velvet deer antler is named after the soft, velvet-like covering that deer antlers have before they turn bony. Antlers are organs of bone which regenerate each year from the heads of male deer. In addition to bone, support tissues such as nerves also regenerate. Nerves grow up to 1 cm each day. Antler velvet contains many substances including amino acids, minerals, proteins, anti-inflammatory peptides, hormones, gangliosides and glycosaminoglycans, and Insulin-like Growth Factor-1. The composition of velvet supplements depend on the diet of the deer, climate, time of year, age of stag and the various concentrations of substances in different regions of the antler velvet itself.

Velvet deer antler as an aphrodisiac
Research studies in relation to aphrodisiac and sexual function are quite limited. A Russian study with pantocrin, an extract from deer antler velvet, showed the extract to stimulate sexual behavior in rodents more than ginseng. Another study showed velvet to have anti-inflammatory properties and potentially helpful in rheumatoid arthritis. No toxic effects have been found with deer velvet when tested in rodents. A recent study done in Canada did not find deer antler velvet to have muscle strengthening or exercise enhancing potential with this substance.

Elk antler velvet
I am thinking of taking velvet elk antler supplement and am concerned because I read that it contains or elevates estradiol or estrogen. As I am a 59 year old male, I have no interest in elevating my estrogen levels. Do you feel it is safe to take elk antler velvet in order to help elevate my testosterone levels and IGF1? Is there any difference that you know of between elk antler and deer antler?
   One should not take a supplement based purely on changing the levels of one or more hormones. Herbs and supplements usually effect many physiological, hormonal, and neurotransmitters in the body, not just one or two. It is preferable to focus on what you want to improve in your body and take an herb or supplement that focuses on this rather than trying to micromanage specific hormone levels. Furthermore, little research is available in humans to determine the specific actions of these herbs on various hormone levels in the long run. We have not studied elk antler velvet to determine how different it is from deer antler velvet. Plus, such products from different farms and different processing labs are likely to provide different substances within the supplement.
