Possible Deer Antler Velvet Side Effects

By Frances Peterson


Deer Antler supplements are becoming increasingly popular these days because they are known to help enhance overall athletic performance, sexual performance, and even some other conditions like asthma and like. While most people concentrate on the benefits, many actually ignore the possible deer antler velvet side effects. To give an idea, here are a few to take note of.

Generally, this type of vitamin does not have adverse symptoms produced in a normal consumer. However, there would always be the possibility of an allergic reaction when taking this kind of vitamin. Always take note that everyone has a different body type and some body types cannot take this type of vitamin.

For that very reason, it is important to first check with the physician whether or not this type of vitamin is safe. A doctor will be able to know the existing body conditions of their patients so they will know exactly how to prescribe. Also, it is pretty diligent to take the supplement in small doses as to not shock the body.

Another adverse effect that one may experience would be slight headaches or some nausea. While people rarely experience this, it is still not uncommon since that is an effect that is usually experienced by those who take vitamins that increase growth hormones. This is most likely because the body is not used to increasing IGF levels forcibly.

Now, those three symptoms are the ones that consumers may most likely experience while taking the supplement. If one may be curious as to whether there are some long term side effects that may come from the consumption of the vitamin, then the answer would be maybe. Take note that in theory, too much IGF 1 in the body may result in prostate cancer in men so if a consumer takes too much of the vitamin, he is putting himself at a risk of prostate cancer.

If ever IGF 1 levels are raised too high in the body, then there is the risk of prostate cancer. As men are the ones that mostly consume this supplement, the chance of prostate cancer will be higher in their bodies if they take this supplement theoretically. Of course, there are no studies that conclude this but there are also no reports concluding that it will not have that risk.

Other than that, there would also be a possible risk of kidney issues if a senior citizen takes it. For younger individuals, this vitamin can actually help in alleviating the symptoms that come from kidney problems. However, it may seem that senior individuals cannot really take the effects of this vitamin which is why the opposite happens.

Now, the main adverse effects that would most likely come directly from consuming this vitamin would be the allergic reactions as well as headaches or nausea. Other than that though, there are no other symptoms one may feel if he decides to take it in moderation. However, one may be putting himself at risk of more serious conditions if he takes too much of it at a given time. That is why one must always practice moderation when taking vitamins that are not FDA approved.
