Modern Research Perspective
Deer Antler Glue contains collagen-derived peptides, amino acids, minerals, and other tissue constituents. Cell and animal studies have explored bone, cartilage, wound, immune, and reproductive pathways, but composition varies by species, antler portion, and processing.
Human clinical evidence is limited and heterogeneous. Allergy, contamination, endocrine effects, interactions, ethical sourcing, and long-term safety require careful evaluation before specific clinical benefits can be claimed.
Traditional Function
