Velvet Deer Antler/Mad Cow

[Guest guest]

Hi! Patti

We have an elk velvet product made in Alberta, Canada. It is called 'Qeva' by

Elk Tech International. www.qeva.com. 1-877-ELK-TECH

I use it and my experience has been that it does give me an energy boost when I

take it in the morning. By the same token, if I take it every day it loses its

effectiveness.

The owner of the elk ranch was featured on a local TV production. He had become

dissatisfied with the quality of the product that was manufactured, and he set

up his own production process. I got

the impression that he was very concerned about providing a quality product. If

I knew how to forward, I would send your web sites to him, but haven't figured

that out yet.
