Can Velvet Deer Antler Be Stored in the Freezer?

Whether Pilose Antler can be stored in the freezer needs to be judged based on the temperature of the refrigerator, and cannot be generalized.

1. Can be stored

Pilose Antler is warm in nature and is a relatively precious warming and nourishing ingredient. It has the effects of nourishing kidney yang, enriching essence and blood, strengthening bones and muscles, and regulating the menstrual cycle. It can be placed in a cool and dry environment to prevent moisture and insect damage. The whole dried Pilose Antler can also be cut into slices or sections and sealed in glass bottles for storage. However, the shelf life and quality of Pilose Antler are closely related to the temperature of the storage environment. Excessive temperature differences may cause Pilose Antler to deteriorate, so it is recommended to store it in an environment with a stable temperature. If the temperature inside the refrigerator is between 16 and 26°C, it can generally be stored in the refrigerator, which is conducive to the long-term storage of Pilose Antler.

2. Cannot be stored

If the temperature of the refrigerator is too low, below 16°C, storing Pilose Antler in the refrigerator may cause it to become damp, damaging its medicinal properties as a traditional Chinese medicine. Especially when mixed with other foods, it may cause Pilose Antler to absorb other flavors, so it cannot be stored in the freezer. When taking Pilose Antler, it is necessary to strictly follow the doctor's advice and not take it privately or blindly, avoiding increasing or decreasing the dosage without authorization to prevent adverse effects on the body.
