Black Ant Extract Powder
Ants are strong, and when you take our ant extract, you may acquire some of that strength.* Ants are the strongest creatures, pound for pound, on the planet.
This product is made from a specific variety of ant known as the Polyrhachis Ant (Polyrhachis vicina). These ants live up high in the mountains and are often found among ginseng roots. They come from a pure and clean environment. (It is not recommended to eat your common household ants as these could easily be exposed to chemicals.)
Ant is a Qi and Energy Tonic*
Polyrhachis ant is the premiere Qi tonic of Chinese herbalism.* While ginseng is the most well-known and a premiere Qi tonic by itself, Ant is known to be even more robust and more effective.
It’s one all-natural herb that you tend to feel right away after taking it!* Polyrachis ant powder is very popular as a pre-workout super herb supplement. It’s also famous for young and old people for different reasons.
Benefits of Black Ant Extract
- Premiere energy tonic (provides direct ATP)*
- Bedroom Performance builder and aphrodisiac*
- Strength builder*
- Double direction immune system modulation*
- May build stress resistance*
- Aids in slowing the aging process by DNA and RNA support*
- Strengthens the musculoskeletal system*
- Potentiates the effects of other herbs taken with it*
- Superior Liver and Kidney tonic in Chinese Medicine*
- Extremely protective of the Liver*
- May help detoxify from poison*
- Benefits the digestive system*
- Benefit’s the nervous system*
- Prevents the shrinkage of the thymus gland*
Ant is Packed Full of Nutrition
- Vitamins B1, B2, B12, D, and E
- Complete Protein Source (42-67% by mass)
- Aldehyde Compounds which may be responsible for giving Ants their strength
- ATP
- Calcium, Phosphorus, Iron, Manganese, Selenium, Zinc, and other trace elements
- Rich in ecdysterone, the growth hormone of insects, is suspected of playing a role in its anabolic effects.*
In fact, Ant is said to have the highest amount of zinc in all known living organisms. Zinc is needed for strength as it is used in muscle contraction, cell growth and division, vision, the immune system, for many bedroom performance functions, and many other uses across the body. Unfortunately, our testing found the actual zinc content to be less than a mg per serving so it should not be considered as a zinc supplement. That all being said, taking ant delivers much more than any zinc supplement could. It may be zinc in the combination of everything else that makes Ant extract powerful.
More and more athletes and active people are searching for ant protein powder. Make your own by adding our protein powder to make an even healthier shake or smoothie.
10:1 Extract Means Times the Power
Our extract is 10:1 meaning you have 10 times the power of ant per teaspoon as just bulk ants (if you even wanted to eat those). Roughly 10% non-GMO corn maltodextrin is used to make this powdered extract.
Can easily be mixed with water, juice, or blended in a shake.
Each bag contains 100 grams of Black Ant Extract (a little over 3.5 ounces).
Recommended dosage: A 1/2 to 1 teaspoon twice daily
BEWARE: Some “Ant” products sold aren’t even ants at all. They were tested to find instead active drug used in some of the popular ED medicine.
Our Ant Extract supplement has been tested and found to contain no PDE-5 Inhibitors or Analogues.
This commonly used group of added ingredients to cut with inferior quality sex herbs. These are the active ingredient in the little blue pill and various related drugs.
We are proud to have Ant Extract that is high-quality that needs no special (and highly illegal) help to make it seem better than it is that might just result in unwanted side effects.

I am not sure this product does anything at all.
I workout 12 hours weekly on average, have a regimented diet and sleep. This supplement hasn’t influenced anything noticeable in any of my experiences or functions. I’ve tried it in different times of day in different quantities and cannot say it does anything at all. For this price I would expect it to have some noteworthy effect as other more known performance or recovery supplements do.

Break through it with Black Ant and Beet Powder mixed together!
These herbs like pine pollen and tongkat really perform best when you are taking multivitamin w/ A B C D E Zinc. Uptake increased with something like an avacado too.
Great products!!

Evan.goldberg98 (verified owner) –
I have liked all the products I have tried so far(aswaghanda, pine pollen, tongkat, beet juice, sea buckthorn, shilajit) I really wanted to like this and I’m glad it seems to work for everyone else but it gave me hearth palpitations and I would start sweating and feeling really dehydrated as soon as I started doing any physical activity after taking this. I stopped and it went away which was kind of sad because I really liked the idea of this and everything I read seemed good. I dont think there is anything wrong with the product I’m posting this here in case anyone has had the same issue.

James Lunsford (verified owner) –
Of all the herbs from Lost Empire that I’ve taken, this is the most powerful by far! I have always led an extremely active lifestyle, but lately had been thinking that my days of hiking 10-20 miles might be ending at 59 years old. Wrong! A 1/2 teaspoon in the morning, plus another later on, has me ending my days pleasantly tired, and with no aches and pains the next day. In fact, after only a week of use, started noticing increased muscle tone and body fat decreasing. It’s as if I am getting younger in those terms every time I use it. Cycling is obviously important, but I can’t wait until I give my six month review! Does all you claim and more. Thanks for giving me an extra lease on life!
Gary –
works we)l. tastes bad and definitely stains your teeth alot.
Chelsea Satterthwaite –
There shouldnt be any long term, or even short term staining. With just a brush of the teeth you shouldnt see any leftover residue. Our Ant doesnt contain any added dyes.

I have pcos and have very low to non sex drive and always tierd. Have been taking black ant and its amazing. I have a lot more energi and strong sex drive, Im a women again 🙂

Black Ants Review:
“Don’t knock it until you’ve tried it!” That’s all I say about Black ant powder. The effect is subtle, but apparent and immediate. The effect for me is a feeling of general well-being, like my body has been given the nutrition that it requires. My assessment of black ant is totally anecdotal but all I can say is ‘I can’t wait to take my black ant in the morning!’ I was expecting it to taste horrible but to my delight mixing it with Chaga (imagine coffee) it is practically undetectable as far as taste goes and it is ground so fine it mixes quite well. A ‘Five Star’ product which I plan to purchase again!
Note: I have not been remunerated in any way for this review!
Justin Snyder –
Very happy and excited to hear that, Doug. Thanks for taking the time to share with everyone how it’s working for you!

This stuff is amazing!!! I take it with pine pollen. So much energy!!! Taste is disgusting!!!!! I put it in capsules. It smells and tastes like ants. It makes me feel any energy… it’s really hard to explain. And definite libido increase.

Kyle Montgomery (verified owner) –
I went through my first bag of black ant extract and absolutely love it. I can really feel a difference in my energy right off. My sex drive got a little boost as well which is never a bad thing. I’m wondering if it’s safe to take it along with Tongkat Ali and Pine Pollen.. I currently have them as well.. Is that safe? Is it overkill? Someone help please. Great product though.. I will be ordering more…depending on if it’s safe for me to use all three together.

Also shipping is incredibly fast. Thanks again
NIgel –
@SAyed I’m also in Germany, started having problems with customs not letting the LEH orders through. It will be great if they get german distribution. However I found a lot of key herb products at Amazon.co.uk, including the Polyrachis Ant Powder and many tinctures. Shipping these orders from the UK to Germany has worked with no problems. Only just started with the Ant Powder myself so can’t say much yet. I found good Shilajit resin though and that I like a lot.
Beyete Tate –
excellent review
Carlos (verified owner) –
I read your post about B12 testing! I am a very young person, and tried the black ant extract solely for its premium qi tonic properties… I was a bit weirded out when i saw my pee neon green the other day! Lol, but now i know thats the way of the ant extract saying “I’m working”. You can definitely TASTE the concentrated bio electricity in this… Amazing stuff. Thank you for the transparency. A company i can trust!
Ronald Foglia (verified owner) –
Wow!…….. I have never been a user of supplementation for pre-workout other than some high does of B12 to help with mental focus. But now everything has changed. I started using 1T pine pollen 2x per day and pine pollen tincture right before my workout. It seemed to help physically but I wasn’t really sure. Then I decided to add 1t of Black Ant and the results were almost unbelievable, at least for me. About 15 minutes after ingestion I could ‘feel’ like I just woke up…..my eyes were wide open, I was focused, the energy was flowing but it was a calm controlled energy. My workout was amazing. I effortlessly did my first set and by the third set I had added 20 lbs to just ‘begin’ to feel the like I was making an effort. This continued for each exercise throughout the workout including the 500 ‘steps’ I work in between reps, I did not work up my usual sweat and my heart beat was not as elevate as before. When I told my wife about my experience, she decided to try some as well. After her first experience, she has added more weights, doing more weight related training and less cardio; and has a better attitude when going to the gym because she can now do more with less struggle and feel a lot better about the gym experience. Thanks, Black Ant…you have some loyal fans. P.S. It took my wife a few days to get over the mental block about drinking the black ants, not a problem now!
Sayed –
I wann it too where can i get in Germany?
Zane Christopher –
Unfortunately, there are no retail locations in Germany that sell our stuff yet. Germany is also on a banned country list for international shipments because of we’ve had such gnarly customs issues regarding our customers. We are talking to a potential German distributor at the moment though so fingers crossed!
Brendan (verified owner) –
Ordered some and extract 3 weeks ago, gave not received anything. Tried to email but emails are bouncing back…. Starting to feel like I have been scammed guess it’s not hard to write yourself good reviews.
Zane Christopher –
Hi Brendan, I checked and I guess we do not have any emails from you in the system. You emailed: [email protected] ? I will be emailing you to check on you. Also, you live in Australia and customs has been an issue there for many shoppers. This is why we say in our shipping policy that no refunds can be issued until after 8 weeks for internationals. We have had SO many international packages show up right after we issued a refund or resent out another package between 6-8 weeks or sometimes even later. For your piece of mind, we will be experimenting with DHL for international shipping in the coming months. Hopefully it works out but I imagine the price will be increased because of it.
Dereck Rivera (verified owner) –
This is high quality and very potent stuff. I take 1/2 tsp in the morning and then again 1 tsp before workouts. I can’t say it brings on crazy energy levels, but it does give you more focus and makes you think much more clearly. I noticed many times I catch myself daydreaming…thinking about random things. Also this extract does the body good in a sexual way. Talk about bigger loads, stronger orgasms. I bought the supplement intended to increase gym performance and it does, but I suggest to cycle on/off of this stuff so you can reap the benefits. Im 31 years old, and I would say my testosterone levels are good, but if you want that extra kick this is the go-to-thing. Safe and natural.
The thought of eating ants did gross me out at first , but after a couple uses you get use to it.
Highly recommend!
Zane Christopher –
Thanks for the excellent review Dereck!
Jamie –
What an excellent product, I can feel the difference after only one hour, my mental clarity, focus and drive is on fire! I will definitely be buying more.

I’ve been taking ant extract for three weeks now along with resihi ,cordycept and maca mix with protein powder like a smootie easy to drink and notice I have more energy to walk and jog extra mile plus improve bedroom performance I like it, will order more.
Zane Christopher –
Thank you for the review Minh. I like and take all those myself. Makes us better humans.
Andy –
I’ve only used this once since I received it and that was before a walk. Actually walk is the wrong word as it turned into a full on march for an hour and twenty minutes. The walk normally takes me ten to twenty minutes more to give you an idea of the strength of this product. I looking forward to using this before I go to the gym.
Bob Terwilliger –
I’ve been taking ant extract for the past year on a regular basis. I an outdoor nut skiing and hiking Colorado’s background when not in the gym pounding weights. This supplement has continues to help me have ongoing killer workout and maintain excellent strength even at 57 years of age. I am a believer!

Man, these ants in my pants make me do a boogie dance all the way to France!

Used this along with Pine Pollen. Wish I could give it raving reviews, but I didn’t have same results as others seem to have had.
Patrick –
Wow, what a boost! After taking my initial 1 tsp, I noticed a major lift in my mood! The experience became an even better swimmer at the swim meet, and rocket fueled my daily runs. It made so I could make those extra reps in the gym as well. Dynamite – gram per gram! Will definitely purchase again!
Kraig D. Moore, MD –
Your Ant extract. I am going to be honest I have never heard of Polyrachis until your website, and read your literature, purchased some. It took me at least 45 min. to work up the courage to drink it. I stirred it for a half an hour. It’s ground up ANTS!.. That first time took me a bit to get over. That Polyrachis is AMAZING..My strength increased that day!.. I have heard of Polyrachis…It has gotten to the point that I am afraid to workout when I run out of your Polyrachis extract!.. I ordered more today.
MaxMan –
I have taken this in my coffee when I wake up an hour before my workout for two days now. Todays workout was not intense enough because of this stuff. So now I am going to have to raise the intensity of my workout. Thanks a lot.
Cody –
Awesome! from the first teaspoon, i felt my mood improve and seemed as if my focus became more focused. Great herb! thank you LostempireHerbs
Greg Russell –
You,…You’re good you! Unbelievable is the word for Polyrhachis! My father and I completely agree in the punch that the mighty any packs. The energy and strength jolt is amazing. My father notices everytime he uses the ant extract and said that even though the taste is kinda jarring, he feels as if his body is craving more when it touches his tongue and that is verbatim. Truly does make me feel as if I could lift more than my usual limit. Another run scored for Lost Empire Herbs. I check frequently for deals and updates or new products being added because of the great results from every… single…herb we’ve purchased. Not a negative result here for my father and I.

Amazing Stuff !!! I know it is good for me because my body lets me know, by feeling GOOOOD !!!!
Ben Bergman –
I have tried both the Ant Extract & Pine Pollen Herbs. I must say they are hell of a great product. They gave me the energy I need for training, mental clarity and even built up sexual energy which is always fun if you have that special someone in your life. They give you that internal power and youthfulness most herbs can’t touch and strengthen the body to their highest form. They’re a must for anyone looking to build great health in many areas.
