Eastern Kazakhstan is the birthplace of maral breeding and pantotherapy (treatment with velvet-antler based products).
Velvet antlers are new, young horns of red deer (marals). Antlers have been used for a long time in Korean and Chinese medicine, because they, as well as the blood and meat of the Altai maral, contain 18 of the 22 amino acids that exist in nature, including glycine, arginine, leucine, valine and meteonin. Velvet antlers contain as many as 20 types of various micro and macroelements, for example, Mg, Fe, Cu, Mn, I, Co, K. There are many beneficial substances in antlers that are not present in any of the artificially created vitamin complexes sold in pharmacies. Pantotherapy rejuvenates the body, regenerates the pancreas, improves the functioning of the digestive and nervous systems.
