THIS IS NOT PART OF THE NEW NARRATIVE TO EAT INSECTS, but it has been used traditionally in China for over 3,000 years. I discovered this "herb" years ago, and have been using it in my Chinese tonic. YES, it does give you energy!! It contains over fifty nutritional elements vital to human health. There are 26 varieties of amino acids, (including the eight essential ones for humans), vitamins B1, B2, B12, D, 30-70% protein, and more than 20 trace elements including magnesium, calcium, phosphorus, iron, selenium, and especially zinc. Also provides bioavailable ATP to human cells, as well as increases the amount of cellular DNA and RNA, which can help slow down aging and aid in the regeneration of tissue. Also the Best Bioavailable Zinc Supplement, which is essential for the biological function of over 300 enzymes in the human body. Unfortunately, much like magnesium, zinc is one of the most common mineral deficiencies in western countries. Even a mild zinc deficiency can lower one's s*x drive, limit one's muscle gain potential, impact one's energy level, and can cause weight gain. The zinc content of Polyrhachis Ant is the highest among all known living organisms, as every kilogram of dried ant contains 120-198 mg of zinc. It is amazing to know we have a natural bioavailable source of zinc in the form of these black spiny ants, as most store bought zinc supplements are non bio-available...
(In advance of getting comments that "ant" is not an "herb", YES, you are right! It's not a vitamin either. This is just the way TCM refers to it.) But what it is not, is a pharmaceutical!
