Ant Power- Dragon Herbs

A long-time favorite of Olly, the founder of Kotuku Elixirs, Ant Power holds a special place in the origin story of the company. It was first recommended to him in his early twenties, during a time when he was pushing himself hard and seeking a deeper connection to herbal traditions. This formula became an early companion on his path into the world of tonic herbalism.

Ant Power draws on a lineage of classic Taoist formulations crafted to cultivate what traditional herbalists describe as the “deep power” of the body. Within this framework, Mountain Ant has long been regarded as a treasured ingredient, celebrated for its role in practices centered around resilience, creative vitality, and inner fortitude.

Combined with a selection of herbs traditionally associated with cultivating Jing and Qi, this blend reflects an approach used by generations of herbalists looking to build foundational strength through their tonic traditions. Many practitioners consider Mountain Ant an important nutritional substance in this system due to its naturally occurring zinc and enzymatic profile.

The formula is created by pairing Mountain Ant powder with herbs traditionally categorized as Yang tonics. In classical herbalism, these combinations are appreciated for their association with cultivating long-term inner power and for their place in longevity-focused routines. Ant Power has historically been enjoyed by a wide variety of people — young and old, men and women — and is often included in daily tonic regimens by seasoned herbal enthusiasts.
