    Do you know if antelope horn is still sold? I had it in an athletic tonic many years ago and have been looking for it online. But all I keep getting is TCM sites that talk about it but don’t sell it or endangered species articles. My understanding was that it was taken the same way deer horn is harvested and the horn grows back not injuring the animal? - Ed Henne
