The subtropical species of edible black ants are found throughout Asia where they have been commonly consumed as food and supplements for thousands of years.

Still very popular in China, they are used as a nutritious addition to foods and bottled drinks, low alcohol wines and powder capsules.
Edible black ant is a unique adaptogenic superfood that is a quick-acting rejuvenative tonic that has a broad and profound range of health benefits; black ant is a highly nutritive food that strengthens adrenals, maintains calm nerves, promotes protein metabolism and regeneration, supports joint flexibility, ensures physical strength, enhances stress-resistance, promotes hormonal health and fortifies immunity.*

Dosage*
Recommended Dosage: 750 – 4,500 milligrams @ 1-3 times a day*
Black Ant dropper:
- 60 1ml droppers in a 2oz (60ml) bottle
- 1ml dropper = ~1,500 mgs black polyrhachis vicina ant extract
Black Ant drops:
- 30 drops in a 1ml dropper
- 1 drop = ~50 mgs black polyrhachis vicina ant extract
Black Ant Dosage Equation:
The dosage of most tonics work by bodyweight and activity level and dietary factors. The amount of Black Ant taken is highly dependent on activity level.
BW + AL + DF
- Bodyweight (BW) is the overall weight measured by a bathroom or locker room scale.
- Activity level (AL) is a relative unit based on the amount of work accomplished, stress-levels and fitness-intensity.
- Diet factors (DF) are based on how much calories and food is taken in, such as protein, fat and carbohydrates.
Estimated Daily Dosage:
-
BW = 1 dropper per ~150 pounds bodyweight
-
AL = + 1-5 droppers - 1 low, 2-3 medium, 3-5 high
-
DF = + 1 dropper for every 75 grams fat or ~1500kcals
Example #1: 135lb person (BW = 0-1 dropper) who is going for a walk on a day-off (AL = 1 dropper) who eats ~60 grams of fat and ~1750kcals (DF = 1 dropper) would have a functional dosage of ~2-3 droppers daily divided into 1-3 doses across the day.
Example #1 is BW 0-1 + AL 1 + DF 1 = 2-3 droppers
Example #2: 195lb person (BW = 1 dropper) who is doing circuit-style weight-training with compound exercises (AL = 3-5 droppers) who eats ~200 grams of fat and ~3000 kcals (DF = 2-3 droppers) would have a functional dosage of ~6-9 droppers daily divided into 1-3 doses across the day.
Example #2 is BW 1 + AL 3-5 + DF 2-3 = 6-9 droppers
To find a functional dose, start with a minimum dose of 15 drops to 1 dropper and work up to a functional dose.* Many benefits of tonics come from consistent and continued use over a period of time.*
Suggested Black Ant Cycle:*
- Initial Phase = 3-30 days
- Long Term = ∞
- Optional Cycle-off Period = 2-14 days
Continuous consumption of Black Ant will yield increasing benefits and performance results over the time consumed; in other words, consistent daily consumption of Black Ant at a functional dosage over the period of suggested time will increase health and performance.*
After an initial cycle Black Ant may be continued on-and-off as desired for long-term tonic adaptogen superfood supplementation.*
Suggested Timing:
How to Take
Black Ant is a versatile tonic superfood that may be freely taken anytime to support adaptation to stress.* Overall Black Ant supports non-stimulating lasting stamina of all physical activities and maintains homeostasis balance of bodily functioning.*
- Performance - 15-30 minutes before physical activity, especially strenuous and strength oriented exercise and work.*
- Meals - consume around meal time to support nerve recovery and adrenal restoration.*
Take as desired: consume on a continuous basis to develop the natural tonic and adaptogenic benefits that build over time.* Some benefits are immediate and some results require consumption over several days and weeks to accomplish.* A good tonic cycle is 45-90 days of a tonic adaptogen which will generate lasting health changes.*
Shake gently: secure the lid and turn the bottle over back-and-forth 3-5 times to evenly distribute the tincture. Do not over-shake as the vigorous mixing of air with the extract will oxidize and damage many of the necessary constituents for required dosage and potency.
By mouth: hold the liquid under the tongue for 60-90 seconds and then swallow the rest of extract; doing so allows digestion to begin in the mouth and will take advantage of the activated multi-step extract so that many of the constituents will bypass digestion and enter the body through the mouth and throat.* Holding the extract also promotes better absorption and assimilation and elicits an immediate effect that is performance oriented*
Mix with water: squirt the drops or entire droppers into 2-4 oz. of water that is under 120*F. Water that is cool to lukewarm temperature is best to preserve the volatile and fragile constituents from being damaged and denatured which will reduce the potency of the extract.* Sip slowly to allow absorption in the mouth and throat.* This method makes it easier to become accustomed to the extract and to take larger doses of several different tinctures at once in a tonic program.*
For maximum potency: regularly consume the tincture within a period of 45 days; after 45 days of continuous consumption the extract may begin to gradually lose potency requiring a larger dosage to achieve similar benefit.* A bottle will generally last 10-30 days depending on dosage and concurrent supplementation programming.*

Please submit any question via our contact form.
Q: What does Black Ant taste like?
A: Black ants have a rich lemony flavor that we accentuate by formulation with citrus peels, turmeric and ginger to assist absorption and make it more palatable.
Q: Why do you add other tonics and herbs to Black Ant?
A: Black ants are high essential nutrition and proteins that are difficult to fully digest in the gut. The additional tonics and herbs support increased assimilation and overall energy and more satisfying benefits and effects. In essence, they make Black Ant a terrific rejuvenation and stress-resistance tonic.
Q: When is the best time to take Black Ant?
A: Anytime. Before work and exercise to promote stamina, strength and stress-resistance. After work or exercise to promote recovery. Consider timing doses around meals with protein or while drinking a protein shake. Also, you may easily combine Black Ant with any other tonic to boost their overall benefits, such as a ginseng or deer antler velvet.
Q: Can I take Black Ant with Power Velvet for the gym?
A: Yes, this is a terrific combo to promote strength and stamina and resist fatigue during exercise. Black Ants have creatine and other anaerobic forms of energy in them that give instant energy to muscle. Take before a meal earlier in the day to prepare for a workout later in the day. Better yet, take with a creatine or pre-workout to enhance their benefits. Black Ant is quite versatile.
