(1888PressRelease) February 05, 2013 - POMPANO BEACH, Fla. - Deer antler velvet may be a no-no with the NFL, but it's a popular natural supplement with bodybuilders and weekend warriors looking to recover faster and men looking to maintain their stamina.

TCCD International is the North American distributor of BuckPower 100% Pure New Zealand Red Deer Antler Velvet. BuckPower is currently sold at over 500 Vitamin Shoppes across the country. BuckPower is also sold online at walgreens.com.

Reports that Baltimore Ravens All-Pro Ray Lewis used deer antler velvet to recover faster from a late-season injury have spiked interest with the niche product.

Ted Alflen, president of TCCD and former NFL player, noted deer antler velvet is getting a bad rap in the media since it naturally contains trace elements of IGF-1, considered a performance enhancement drug and as a result banned by the NFL. Alflen discovered the product from a personal friend in New Zealand when he was looking for quality natural products his company could distribute.

"The NFL competition committee prohibited deer antler velvet because it works so well and gives users an unfair advantage," said Alflen, the onetime special teams player for Denver Broncos. "We need to be clear. This is a safe product. This is a natural product and it is in no way a steroid."

There is no denying that BuckPower Deer Antler Velvet is effective for people looking to increase their strength, reduce their cholesterol and maintain healthy joints. Results can be seen as fast as one week. Some even claim it makes men better lovers.

"Whatever your sport or activity may be, we believe BuckPower can help you do it better,'' Alflen said.

Considered a general wellness tonic, antler deer velvet was first used over 2,000 years ago in traditional Chinese medicine to remedy more than 50 diseases. Scientists continue to study antler velvet's powerful benefits, especially growth factors (IGF-1) relating to the regenerative and deciduous nature of the antler. A multi-university study found New Zealand Red Deer Antler Velvet performed greater than placebo (study available upon request):

• 9.9% Increase in Strength
• 9.8% Increase in Aerobic Capacity (VO2 Max)
• 12.2% Decrease in Bad (LDL) Cholesterol

BuckPower Deer Velvet retails for $39.99 for a 60-count bottle of 250 mg capsules. The product is readily available behind the counter at Vitamin Shoppe and Walgreen's.com.
