Do they bleed when they shed their velvet?
If by they, you mean deer, then yes. Velvet covers deer's antlers and feeds the antlers the vitamins and minerals it needs to grow. There is a base at the base of each antler, and when the antlers have received enough vitamins and minerals, the base cuts off the blood flow to the antlers, causing the velvet to dry out, shrivel up, and fall off. The velvet is itchy, so the deer rub up against trees and such to help get the velvet off. Basically the only reason the deer's antler's bleed is because the blood may not be fully cut off and the deer still find it itchy so they try to scratch it off themselves.

No. Human growth hormone or HGH comes from the human body, specifically from the pituitary gland, not from deer antler velvet.

Note the keyword: stimulating, not made from nor produced or any other synonym you can think of relating to "made from."
