Dr. Joseph Vassalotti, Chief Medical Officer at the National Kidney Foundation in the U.S.A., pointed out some possible signs of kidney disease, including:
CHRONIC FATIGUE | FREQUENT URINATION AT NIGHT | COUGH AT NIGHT | FEELING COLD | NOT SWEATING
The kidneys start declining after the age of 40. The kidney size gradually shrinks. The renal tubular concentration function and the urine dilution function are significantly weakened, causing nocturia. Most people with chronic kidney disease do not realise their problems until an advanced stage. If you have high blood pressure, diabetes, a family history of kidney failure or you are above 60, your risk of kidney disease can be higher.
The aging of the kidneys affects the function of toxin removal and transformation & absorption of nutrients. Typical symptoms of kidney deficiency include:
The Chinese Pharmacopoeia states that deer velvet antler velvet is warming (not “heaty” as often misunderstood) and can supplement yang in kidneys and liver. Deer velvet antler is a unique health food with a holistic and diverse range of efficacy, far superior to Reishi Mushrooms (lingzhi) and Caterpillar Fungus (cordyceps). Astaxanthin is the world's king of natural antioxidants and anti-inflammatory food. Its antioxidant capacity is 6000 times stronger than that of Vitamin C (SOQP); 739 times (ORAC) of Korean ginseng, 305 times (ORAC) of Reishi Mushrooms (ling zhi) and 240 times (ORAC) of Caterpillar Fungus (cordyceps). It protects the kidneys and other organs of the human body, enhancing overall health.
The combination of “Altrive 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.

3) IMPORTANT HEALTH BENEFITS - NATURALLY!
EYE-SIGHT HEALTH
- Improves quality of vision by preserving the zoom-in, zoom-out refocusing rate of the eyes ciliary muscle (muscle in the eye used to judge an objects distance).
- Improves eye strain, sensitivity to glare symptoms, sore eyes, burred vision and neck & shoulder pain linked to Computer Vision Syndrome (CVS).
- Reduces UV-B light induced inflammation and oxidative eye damage.
- Improves capillary blood flow, thus improving nutrition, oxygenation and waste removal in ocular system (the eye & central visual system).
- Combats premature formation of cataracts (clouding of the lens) and vision loss.
- Reduces retinal neural cell death and damage to the eyes circulatory system caused by glaucoma. Glaucoma (damage to the optic nerve) is the leading cause of irreversible blindness!
- Delays progression of presbyopia (long-sightedness caused by eye lens loss of elasticity) in middle aged and elderly patients.
CARDIOVASCULAR HEALTH
- Improves lipid (fat) metabolism and profile.
- Inhibits plaque formation by suppressing uptake of oxidized ‘Bad’ Cholesterol (LCL-C) by cell microphage.
- Improves capillary circulation.
- Modulates blood pressure, lowering stroke risk and vascular endothelial health.
- Reduces oxidative stress in high risk population.
- Increases Nitric Oxide (NO) Levels and improves blood vessel elasticity.
- Suppresses Metalloproteinases (MPP) activity and may protect the vascular wall & increase vascular stability.
- Exerts anticoagulatory effects and inhibits blood clotting (blood clots can lead to strokes).
BRAIN HEALTH

4) ALTRIVE™ DEER VELVET ADVANTAGE - WORLD'S #1 BEST QUALITY AWARD WINNING DEER VELVET ANTLER
- Altrive™ Red Deer Farm is the accumulative #1 award winning red deer velvet farm in NZ, in the NZ Annual National Velvet & Trophy Antler Competition organised by National New Zealand Deer Farmers Association since 2012.
- Altrive™ is the only deer velvet brand world-wide, that warrants the nutrient standard of the velvet in our products. The 'Super A' (SA) Deer Velvet used in our capsules is certified by an independent ISO 17025 lab to be very high in bio-active Amino Acids content (and low in useless Ash & Water content).
| Deer Velvet Standard | Amino Acids 1 |
Moisture | Ash Content |
| New Zealand - Altrive™ ‘Big Bulb’ Deer Velvet Standard | > 57% | < 6% | < 32% |
| Jilin Province, China - Sika Velvet Provincial Standard | - | ≤ 16% | ≤ 45% |
| Hong Kong Chinese Materia Medica Standards – Sika Velvet | - | ≤ 14% | ≤ 37% |
| Chinese Materia Medica Grand Dictionary (China) - Sika Velvet | Max. 50.13% | - | - |
1 Total Amino Acids (DM = Dry Matter)
The 'Big-Bulb' shape & wide circumference of SA grade velvet delivers a higher ratio of bio-active inner velvet vs its semi-calcified surface.
Only <0.08% deer farms in New Zealand have superior stags and the favourable environment to produce a sizeable quantity of 'Big-Bulb' SA velvet.
This makes Altrive™ 'Big-Bulb' SA deer velvet very unique & precious!
5) ALTRIVE™ FARM ADVANTAGE - 100% SAFE LOCALE (CLEAN, GREEN, FREE RANGE DEER)
Altrive™ Deer Farm is located in Riversdale, Southland in a country-side area near Fiordland National Park in the very far south of New Zealand's South Island. 100% Pollution Free, Nuclear Free, Disease Free, Non-GMO, clean, green open range deer haven. It is one of the purest places in pristine New Zealand & indeed in the world!
Southland province in NZ, is well renown as the home of New Zealand's best red deer, similar to how Changbai Mountain is famous for its sika deer in China.
At Altrive,deer stags and hinds are raised naturally. Altrive™ Deer Farm never uses any GM feed, artificial feed nor growth hormones to foster growth, ever... 100% PURE & NATURAL DEER
6) 'HIGH-TECH / 100% COLD' PRODUCTION ADVANTAGE = 'HIGHLY BIO-ACTIVE' DEER VELVET
Altrive™ deer velvet products are processed and packaged in a 100% heat-free manner so that protein and lipid structures do not break down resulting in a more efficacious ingredient. Research has shown that the water-soluble protein in freeze-dried velvet antler is 13.1 TIMES HIGHER than with other production processing methods.
Our velvet is freeze dried using advance technologies. We use cold alcohol microbial treatment. Our products are 100% made in New Zealand, within a GMP certified factory. We use high quality packing box and tamper proof sticker, deliberately avoiding plastic shrink wrapping which expose products to intense heat.
NB: Please be very wary of all other brands of deer velvet capsules (full antler stick or deer velvet slices) without an independent lab amino acid test report, as almost all manufacturers in New Zealand, China & Korea etc. are still using high heat-processing methods where they boil the deer velvet at very high temperatures for a long time (even if they freeze dry it later!), thereby destroying the bio-activity of their deer velvet & also the potential health benefits for you!
7) ASTAREAL™ - #1 NATURAL ASTAXANTHIN BRAND IN THE WORLD!
Why do we add AstaReal™ Axtaxanthin to Deer Velvet?
Deer velvet Antler is a highly potent ingredient and should not be overdosed. To further enhance the effect of our product, we have chosen to supplement it with astaxanthin for strong reasons.
Astaxanthin is nature's most powerful
known 'anti-oxidant' & 'anti-inflammatory'
Natural astaxanthin made from Haematococcus pluvialis (HP) microalgae is a natural carotenoid that can be found existing in water in nature.
Human beings can benefit immensely from astaxanthin. But since our bodies cannot synthesize it directly (due to the hard cell wall), previously we could only obtain sufficient astaxanthin by eating a substantial amount of seafood daily which contains astaxanthin. The good news is that nowadays it is possible for us all to instead obtain sufficient 100% natural astaxanthin in the form of health supplements.
NB: Astaxanthin is a 'Pure Antioxidant' and no matter the dosage will fight damaging free radicals and help your health (I.E. Unlike CoQ-10, Beta Carotene, Zeaxanthin, Vitamin E, C, D and Selenium etc. which can turn 'Pro-oxidant', thereby releasing free radicals & actually causing damage your health!).
Natural Astaxanthin has '6000 times' more
'anti-oxidant power' than Vitamin C
Astaxanthin under the microscope
Why is AstaReal™ #1 - your safest & the best choice of Astaxanthin?
AstaReal™ is the world´s leading producer and innovator of natural astaxanthin :- The first company in the world to commercially produce natural astaxanthin from microalgae. A highly advanced & one-of-a-kind technology using specially designed photobioreactors is used to cultivate the microalgae Haematococcus pluviailis (HP).
- AstaReal™ produces premium natural astaxanthin products that are of the highest potency, quality and stability.
- AstaReal™ astaxanthin is the most studied brand of astaxanthin in the world
- AstaReal™ astaxanthin is free of heavy metals, pesticides, cancer causing pollutant PAHs, nuclear radiation that plague so many growers & the astaxanthin Altrive™ uses is processed for human consumption 100% mechanically & naturally in Japan (without chemicals/heat).
