Deer Antler Slices (Cervus nippon) — Dried Velvet Antler Slices for Tonic Soups & Wine

Deer Antler Slices (Cervus nippon) are the dried, sliced velvet antler of a highly revered traditional tonic known in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) as Lù Róng (鹿茸). For centuries, Lu Rong has been prized as a warming, yang-tonifying, and essence-nourishing herb, traditionally used to support vitality, strengthen the bones and tendons, and nourish the marrow. Its nature is sweet, salty, and warm, making it a deeply restorative tonic for building qi and blood and warming the Kidney yang.

Quality & Sensory

Each batch is carefully sliced and dried to preserve its pale ivory to light amber color, fine honeycomb-like texture, and mild, faintly musky aroma. When simmered in soup or steeped in wine, the slices soften and release a gentle, subtly sweet and savory flavor, adding depth to broths and tonic decoctions without overpowering other ingredients.
