From recent searching I came across another supplement which some people claim to be more than just another muscle bulking supplement, but also make people taller. The supplement is known as Deer Antler Plus from the website DeerAntlerPlus.com.

On the website the only benefits this health supplement claims to be useful in is towards….

• Strength
• Endurance
• Muscle Recovery
• Muscle size and definition increase
• Increased Immune System
• Helps Joints

No where on the webpage does it claim to help people increase height. However some Grow Taller websites like GrowTaller3000.com makes the claim that the muscle building definition would also help make people taller. From the Grow Taller 3000 website….

Velvet antler is an herb used extensively in Chinese medicine. In fact, other than ginger, it is one the most important herbs to use in the Chinese culture. The name velvet antler has nothing to do with the fuzz on the antler. It has to do with most of the antler that is gelatinous and cartilaginous before it becomes calcified as the deer ages.

The antler will be dried and used in either powdered or pill form. It is said to cure many ailments, such as, arthritis. It is also known as a cancer preventative, as well as, an immune system enhancer and a growth agent and muscle builder. In fact, it acts in exactly the same manner as the synthetic form of HGH. The difference being that velvet antler is completely natural.

Since velvet antler stimulates both immune system and the growth and repair of muscle tissue it is also known as an anti-aging herb for both men and women, a muscle builder for athletes and as a male enhancement herb for sexual vitality.

Any further research in terms of searching google led to little except an old post from HeightQuest.com about the possibility that the extract from deer antler might be used for height increase (post “Grow taller by eating deer antlers?”) The post is long and it was hard for me to summarize Tyler’s result. The post seems to imply that the extract from Deer Antlers might have chondrogenic properties (like helping it differentiate down the chondrogenic lineage or induce chondrocyte proliferation) but it might not be the best idea to take it orally.

If I was to view the website from the point of view of an Internet Marketer, I would say that this website is designed very similar to the Elevate GH supplement/website which I had reviewed many posts back in “Review Of Elevate GF Height Increase Pill, The Other Internet Marketing Supplement”

I think I can easily end this post by saying that this product has never been intended to be sold as a grow taller supplement, although it seems to have the active ingredients of HGH which might be helpful for children who are still growing. The HGH which would make children with open growth plates taller than just through their natural growth progression would in an adult with full bone maturity help them increase physical vitality, make them feel younger, and help them gain more muscle mass back. There are enough PubMed studies which show that if you as an adult with closed growth plates take HGH into the system, you will feel younger, gain slightly higher energy, become more “cut” or defined in your muscles, and possibly also increase sexual performance and stamina.

It would seem that the only link between made between this Deer Antler Plus oral supplement with possible height increase was made by one website that is now inactive.

However as we all know this is a website devoted to the research of height increase, not muscle size increase. So I will leave this product from full judgement since that is not our job as height increase researchers.
