Roanga Planet draws from the extraordinary natural heritage of New Zealand – a land where nature has remained virtually untouched. It is here that one of the world’s rarest natural treasures originates: deer velvet – revered for centuries for its strengthening, regenerative, and revitalizing properties.
Since the 1970s, New Zealand’s velvet industry has grown into a global leader. Today, the country is home to the world’s largest coordinated deer population – over one million animals raised with the utmost respect for their natural life cycles.
The deer roam freely on wide open pastures, without hormone treatments, and feed exclusively on wild herbs and grasses. Thanks to the country’s geographic isolation and strict veterinary oversight, New Zealand’s deer population remains free from many of the diseases common in intensive farming. This unique approach ensures not only exceptional biological quality, but also the purity, safety, and ethical integrity of the velvet produced.
It is this harmony of nature, science, and ethical farming that makes New Zealand deer velvet the ingredient of choice for respected traditional medicine practitioners and premium natural supplement brands Roanga Planet around the world.
In Asia, deer velvet has long been regarded as a sacred remedy – used to strengthen immunity, restore vitality, and combat fatigue. Today, its benefits are being embraced by athletes and active individuals for its ability to support recovery, growth, and performance in everyday life.
In traditional Māori understanding, long-term vitality arises from harmony between the individual, nature, and community. When this relationship is balanced, mauri — the life force — flows freely and without obstruction.








In Māori philosophy, this type of progression reflects the gradual “clarifying” of mauri — the life force — which begins to flow more freely once obstacles are removed and the body is given space to reset its natural rhythm.
Modern science now confirms what the Māori have understood for generations the state of one system always influences the others. When immunity is strengthened, energy rises. When regeneration improves, performance follows. When metabolic balance is restored, the whole body functions with greater ease.
This commitment echoes Māori values, where the relationship with the land (whenua) is defined by responsibility, respect, and balance. What nature provides must be used with gratitude — and with awareness of its impact on future generations.
Today, modern research confirms many of these traditional insights: marine bioactives, plant extracts, and animal-derived compounds can influence cellular processes, regeneration, and metabolic balance.
This philosophy aligns with Māori principles, where health is understood as a unity of body, mind, spirit, and relationships (te whare tapa whā). When one pillar weakens, the whole structure loses strength — but when it is supported, mauri (the life force) flows freely.
