Investigation by independent Russian journalists casts doubts over president’s health The Russian president was reportedly introduced to the idea of bathing in an extract made from deer antlers by Sergei Shogu, his current defence minister, who has been the subject of rumours in recent weeks following a period out of public view.
Back in the mid-2000s, when Mr Shoigu was head of the Ministry of Emergency Situations, he reportedly brought Mr Putin to Altai, where an extract made from the antlers of the red deer residing there are claimed to have a therapeutic effect.
The Russian president is claimed to have immersed himself in a bathtub of this extract on multiple occasions, prompting antler baths to become popular among the Russian elites.
The extract of pantocrine supposedly improves the cardiovascular system and rejuvenates the skin, while it has also been claimed to boost “male potency”.
