Is dried velvet antler better or fresh velvet antler?

As people's living conditions improve, the issue of health preservation has received more attention. There are many methods of health preservation, and dietary conditioning is a common one. When it comes to dietary health care, we have to talk about deer antlers. This food has many benefits for the human body. When it comes to velvet antlers, they can generally be divided into dried velvet antlers and fresh velvet antlers. So, generally speaking, is dried velvet antler better or fresh velvet antler?

What people often see is mostly dried antlers. Dried velvet antler is made by boiling and frying the collected fresh velvet antler in boiling water, and then baking it in an oven at high temperature. This process is repeated more than ten times to make dried velvet antler for slicing or powdering. The velvet blood is dried at high temperature to make blood powder. Dried minced meat is made by boiling, frying and drying fresh minced meat. The purpose of drying is to facilitate storage and transportation, or to process it into other dosage forms (such as deer antler powder capsules, etc.).

Although the traditional drying method can dehydrate and preserve, effectively prolonging the storage time of velvet antler and blood, a considerable amount of nutrients are inevitably lost through boiling and baking during the processing, especially a large amount of precious active proteases, such as chondroitin sulfate, 6-phosphate glucose dehydrogenase, phosphoglucose isomerase, alkaline phosphatase, etc., which are extremely helpful for the treatment of human diseases and nutritional health. However, the antlers preserved by vacuum freezing technology are quite different.

Under vacuum conditions, the deer antlers and blood can be effectively prevented from spoiling. At the same time, ultra-low temperature rapid freezing can preserve the active enzymes completely and remove some of the moisture. Therefore, using fresh antlers and blood when possible will be more conducive to obtaining nutrition and maximizing the effectiveness of antlers and deer blood. Relatively speaking, the nutritional value of fresh antlers is much higher than that of dried antler slices. The modern medical scientist Cao Bingzhang proposed the principle of "using less points and taking more days", that is, "slowly replenishing when the body is severely deficient". All users should keep this in mind by insisting on eating less and taking more often.

Although we often see and eat dried velvet antlers in our daily lives, fresh velvet antlers are better in terms of nutritional value and pharmacological effects. Therefore, for those who have the conditions, it is advisable to eat fresh antlers frequently when maintaining health. Although they are both antlers, their effects are much greater than those of dried antlers.
