Deer Antler (Lu Rong) Spray Used by NFL Players for Natural Enhancement

Now, here's an interesting one for you gentlemen out there that might think Deer Antler spray (Lu Rong) is a good idea...think again....

They harvest the so-called velvet antler (a soft coating that covers deer antlers) in New Zealand, freeze-dry it and then grind it into a powder. It then gets shipped to the United States, where it gets put into either capsules or liquid extracts that can become a simple oral spray. You can buy it for $68 a bottle.
For the elite athlete, experts say it’s essentially a human growth hormone, one of the substances organized sports is trying to keep out. The difference here is deer antlers are natural, not synthetic, and properly discovering it in a test falls somewhere between extremely challenging to virtually impossible.
Bengals safety Roy Williams says he uses the mouth spray "all the time.
Best anyone can figure, first you need to run a blood test (which leagues such as the NFL or Major League Baseball don’t do). Then you need to run a blood test at the exact proper time. Otherwise, nothing comes up.
“You can find it,” Jonathan Danaceau, a director at a World Doping Agency approved lab, told ThePostGame.com in its report about new Raiders coach Hue Jackson’s connection with a supplement company that produces the spray. “But saying whether this is synthetic or natural is hard to determine. It’s only detectable in blood, and most anti-doping tests are done in urine.
It’s a loophole for the athlete – turning drug tests into intelligence tests. You have to be stupid to fail one. The benefits of deer antler – or more specifically the substance IGF-1 that comes from it – are clear. IGF-1 is banned by everyone.
“It’s one of the proteins that is increased in human growth hormone … it’s considered performance-enhancing,” Danaceau said.
“It’s similar to HGH in that it aids in recovery. It helps build tissue, and strengthen tissue – more than you can ever do by training alone. Any preparation that is not naturally occurring is banned. Taking IGF-1 through deer antler is banned as well.”

Here's Your Healthy Tip of the Day:  Lu Rong is a chinese herbal ingredient used in formulas for male infertility and erectile dysfunction, for very ill patients who are debilitated of any energy.  LISTEN UP AND LISTEN GOOD!!!!  When this ingredient is abused (as in the case of the NFL players), guess what happens?  They are like a machine on overdrive and after a while, they become depleted, sexually dysfunctional and exhausted.  It's like being on 'speed' for a prolonged period of time.  So, before you think you're so smart and go spraying deer antler up your nose, better think twice and three times about the side effects!!

  1. Just curious, is there evidence to support that Lu Rong will leave one "depleted, sexually dysfunctional and exhausted."

  2. Overuse and abuse of any stimulant, whether it be chemical or natural will affect the blood circulation, nervous system and endocrine system in a very negative manner. This is why, if one should read the contraindications and warnings posted for steroids and other stimulants, pharmaceutical companies educate, advise and warn the patient of the side effects of these elements. Studies done in China have supported the same conclusions re: the overuse and ABUSE of Lu Rong. When used correctly and responsibly in a complete herbal formula, this herb can be quite effective for those suffering from various pathologies.

  3. Lu Rong tonifies the Kidney Yang and essence shouldn't it be supporting the body against depletion due to sexual activity?

  4. Again, Michelle, this is reference to overuse and abuse of a very warming herb to promote and enhance sports performance. When overused and abused, this herb will lead to depletion.
