How to distinguish the authenticity of deer antlers

Everyone knows that deer antler is a precious medicinal material and its price is relatively high. Because of this, unscrupulous merchants in the market will sell fake products as real ones. At this time, everyone must keep their eyes open and carefully distinguish them, so as not to buy fakes and harm themselves. But how do you tell the authenticity of deer antlers? You can distinguish them by appearance, smell or by boiling them in water. You can learn more about the specific methods.

1. Rely on shape to distinguish

There are mainly three types of fake antler slices on the market. One is to pass off inferior deer antler slices as genuine ones. The second is to wrap pig skin in a mixture of flour and pig blood. The third is to have real antler slices on the outside and other substances inside. Generally speaking, real antler slices only have two shapes: round and oval, while fake antler slices are round and crescent-shaped. The real and fake ones can be clearly distinguished from the shapes.

2. Color peripheral resolution

Some fake deer antler slices have very advanced simulation technology, which can make people have no doubts about the difference in shape, but there may be flaws in color. The outer part of real antler slices is not white, the middle part is usually brown. The outer edge of fake antler slices is very likely to appear white because they are not properly processed. You can pay more attention to this.

3. Identify by boiling water

After purchase, you can also use the boiling method to distinguish the authenticity of the deer antler slices. Real deer antler slices will not fade or deform when immersed in water, and will not break after heating and stirring. They generally will not be boiled soft or mushy. However, the fake deer antler slices will behave completely differently when boiled in water. You can try this method after purchasing them.

4. Magnify the shape to distinguish

Buyers can also choose to zoom in to view some details of the antler slices, because real antler slices have no excess edge keratinization and generally no protrusions. The holes on fake antler slices are relatively large, and there are some dark brown fillers inside. The overall degree of keratinization of the edges is very high. Through these details, you can see the obvious differences between them.

These methods can distinguish the authenticity of deer antler slices from a physical perspective, and you can also use these methods to distinguish them when choosing to buy deer antler slices. Many fake products can cause serious harm to our bodies, which requires everyone to try their best to distinguish their authenticity when choosing, so as to protect the health of themselves and their families.
