Ant Polyrachis

I will be adding this to my daily diet and reporting the results as we GO .. I believe it will assist in strengthening skeleton and nerve 's 


Ants are nutritious beyond belief. They contain high levels of vitamins B1, B2, B12, D and E. Also, 67% of the dry weight of Polyrhachis Vicina is protein and provides 8 essential amino acids. Mineral content includes calcium, phosphorus, iron, manganese, selenium and the highest amount of zinc among all living organisms. Zinc is an “essential trace element” because very small amounts are required for the day-to-day functioning of the human animal. It is used for the proper growth and maintenance of the human body. Also, studies have found that normal levels of this essential mineral greatly help in disallowing the common cold to compromise the immune system.


Aldehyde compounds combined with other co-factors in Polyrhachis Ant have been found to produce a greater tonic action then ginseng. Those same benefits of ginseng, such as its effects on stress-mediation and its ability to limit the loss of athletic performance, are of note for anyone desiring improved physical capabilities and expanded mental acuity.

The greatest natural ability of Polyrhachis Ant on the human system is that it is believed to amplify the quantity of DNA and RNA present within the human cells. This helps to pump the brakes on the aging process. It also assists in the regeneration of cells so recovering from extreme physical activities or attacks on our immune system take place on a much quicker time scale. The high quantity of ATP in black ant additionally provides direct energy to human cells and is part of the reason for the immediate pick up in energy levels after its consumption.

Finally, a strong multi-directional immuno-regulatory action comes with the frequent ingestion of black ant. Its adaptogenic abilities help up-regulate the immune system to fight off viruses and toxin-producing bacterias. Studies have shown that lymphocyte production greatly increases when microbial invaders are present and Polyrhachis ant favorably promotes this assembly. It can also be used by a individual to maintain an already powerful immune system. At the same time, any over-stimulated system will be moderated for anyone prone to autoimmune reactions.

Everyone has heard of the super strength of the lowly ant. Able to lift up to 400 times their own weight and being able pull up to 1700 times that weight, they are one of the strongest creatures per pound on the planet. Imagine a person that could lift a truck! Now imagine tapping into that strength. Even if you don’t believe in the supposed ‘magic’ of borrowing energy, the benefits of consuming this precious source of health are many and profound.



Ant tonics are widely consumed in Asia to promote strength, sexual vigor and as a powerful antiaging agent. Over 70 years of research has proven that certain species of ants are highly nutritious and have powerful medicinal effects. As a matter of fact, ant is considered a premium adaptogenic substance in the same ranks as Ginseng, Siberian Ginseng, Rhodiola, Schizandra, Cordyceps and Gynostemma, the adaptogenic superstars of Chinese tonic herbalism. Ant has been historically considered a superior herb of the highest order.

Ant has been widely used and very highly regarded in China as a tonic for over 3000 years. Ant has been referedto in a number of famous Chinese medicinal classics, including Li Shi Chens Ben Cao Gang Mu, where the great master praised ants as a superior tonic with excellent curative powers. It has been universally tauted as a superb Liver and Kidney tonic of the highest order. Its name, which it received in ancient times, means "black horse." Imperial records indicate that numerous emperors and other noblemen have consumed ant tonics to promote sexuality and to increase longevity.

Polyrachis, the multi-spined tonic ant, is widely used to boost the immune system, or to maintain already strong immune functions. It has been established to have double-direction benefits on the immune system, so it may be used by anyone with any immune disorder to regulate immune functions.

Polyrachis is widely believed to prevent common symptoms associated with aging, such as lumbago, memory loss, joint problems, fatigue, climacteric symptoms, cardiovascular disease, etc. Ant strengthens the entire Kidney system, including the sexual functions, skeletal structures and renal system. It also strengthens the nervous system, digestive functions, detoxification functions and muscular system. Therefore ant products have become extremely popular with middle aged and elderly consumers in Asia. Ants are being called the "forever young" nutritional supplement.

Young people in China are major advocates of ant as well. Young men and women use it to increase energy on a daily, as well as long-term basis. Both physical and mental energy seems to be supplemented by consuming ant. Ants can carry a load of over 100 times there own weight, and people have long felt that consuming non-toxic varieties of ants can increase physical and mental strength. Students in particular have made ant elixirs a virtual craze in cities like Shanghai, Hong Kong and Beijing. It is commonly used by those who have become fatigued or exhausted due to excess workloads or other forms of stress, including mental sources. Ant is noticeably energizing when consumed for a short period of time and builds long-term energy if used continuously for awhile.

Ant has a big reputation in Asia for increasing libido and virility. Both men and women claim that after using ant for even a short time that their interest in sex increases significantly and that their sexual performance improves in numerous ways. This reputation has contributed to the explosion of ant products available in the Hong Kong, Taiwanese, Southeast Asian and Japanese markets.

As a result of modern technology and vastly improved manufacturing capabilities, previously not possible, ant is now being widely used in China for the first time. There has been a genuine explosion of interest in ant tonic products now that it is, for the first time, not a product reserved just for emperors, rich nobles and their wives and families.

Varieties and Grading: Several varieties of ants are used in Chinese tonic herbalism, all with virtually the same attributes. These different varieties come from different regions in China. Each region claims that its ants are superior. Both black ants primarily from southern and central China and red ants primarily from northeastern China are used. Ants from high, pristine mountain ranges such as the Himalayas in southern China and Tibet, or the Changbai Mountains in northeastern China are considered the finest and most potent. Most of the tonic ants are large ants.

A primary concern in using ant as a tonic supplement is that the ants or ant product is from a reputable company that specializes in ant tonic preparation. The ants must be collected from, or raised in, a pure, pristine environment. Certainly, using ants that have been exposed to Raid is not a good idea. In other words, it is not a good idea to try collecting your own from the basement or back yard. The ants used in Chinese tonic supplements are raised or collected from mountainous regions and are absolutely chemical free. Ants are rare in raw form, but is extremely valuable if you can obtain it. It should be light in weight, dark and consistent in color and fluffy, with no obvious impurities, degradation or discoloration. Most sources of ant as a tonic supplement will be ant products made by a number of ant specialty houses out of China. Ant comes in both capsules and oral liquid elixirs. At this writing all the ant products I have tested have been excellent and have met my every expectation. The ant industry is extremely heavily regulated in China and there is no indication that less than quality ant products are now being produced in mainland China.
