Powder Ingredient from Natural Sika Deer of Hokkaido

Hokkaido sika deer is a subspecies of Japanese deer that lives only in Hokkaido. Once on the brink of extinction, the population has now rapidly
ecovered due to conservation policies such as banning hunting. As a result, problems such as agricultural damage and traffic accidents are ccurring. For this reason, local government is gradually expanding the hunting quota and increasing the number of animals captured. The hunted
okkaido sika deer are butchered at a deer meat processing facility certified by the Hokkaido Prefectural Government and distributed as meat. This product is made by enzymatically decomposing the waste meat generated during this process and turning it into powder. In traditional Chinese
edicine, deer meat has been considered a treasure since the Shang Dynasty over 1300 BC. The 550-year-old Chinese medicinal work “Bencao
angmoku” also states, ”The deer is considered a spiritual animal of longevity, also strengthens the functions of the five organs and six organs. It
romotes blood circulation, is good for beauty, and is very useful for maintaining health.'' In modern-day China, species with white spots on their
awns, such as the Sika deer, are particularly prized and called Meihualu deer (梅花鹿).
