Here's what they say about NZ Deer Velvet: Chris Morrissey, - Singapore “During the races I felt strong throughout and the different from the lead teams back to us was decreasing each day. The French team that beat us in the first race was struggling in the second race (the fifth day of racing). We beat them by less than one minute over a three hour race…” George Christison, Tutira (Hawke’s Bay) “Velvet helped remove joint tiredness, and increases my strength…” Morgan Foster, Hamilton. “Using New Zealand deer velvet supplements, I’ve noticed improved recovery time during hard training phases. On top of that, I haven’t succumbed to Winter ills and chills and seem to have less wear and tear on joints and tendons.” Rhys Burns, Gisborne. “New Zealand velvet has increased my endurance and strength in all disciplines – running, cycling and kayaking, and reduced recovery time between training sessions…” Ross Rotherham, Christchurch. “I feel that my recovery after longer sessions has been quicker…” Sonya Clark, Auckland.“This stuff is awesome! Noticed much better recovery, therefore harder training next day.” Willy Benson, North Shore. “I found I began recovering from my training sessions much quicker once I started taking New Zealand deer velvet supplements…”
