Accelerating Commercial Validation of Elk Velvet Antler Health Benefits Through CytoSolve Systems Bioinformatics with Wapiti Labs
Wapiti Labs is a nutraceutical company focused on developing scientifically validated health products derived from Elk Velvet Antler. The company emphasizes evidence-based wellness, translational research, and responsible commercialization of natural bioactive compounds.
Challenge
Despite centuries of traditional use, Elk Velvet Antler lacked a unified, systematic scientific framework describing its nutritional composition and mechanistic health effects. Existing studies were fragmented across disciplines, geographies, and biological endpoints, making it difficult to substantiate health claims, prioritize product positioning, and support regulatory-compliant commercialization. The absence of an integrated molecular and functional map limited confidence in translating research insights into market-ready nutraceutical strategies.
How CytoSolve Helped
CytoSolve collaborated with Wapiti Labs to conduct the first comprehensive, systematic bioinformatics review of Elk Velvet Antler. CytoSolve’s Research Division:
- Analyzed 81 peer-reviewed scientific studies conducted by 451 researchers across 216 institutions worldwide, spanning 23 years of research.
- Identified 76 key bioactive molecules constituting the nutritional profile of Elk Velvet Antler, including:
- 32 organic compounds
- 16 fatty acids
- 8 minerals
- 20 amino acids and related compounds
- Mapped these molecules into integrated biological pathways to assess their collective influence on human physiology.
- Connected molecular composition to documented medicinal effects across 10 major biological functions, translating disparate findings into a coherent systems-level health benefits architecture.
- 32 organic compounds
- 16 fatty acids
- 8 minerals
- 20 amino acids and related compounds
