Bucked Up has introduced Black Ant, a first-of-its-kind pre-workout positioned as an all-in-one performance stack. Built for athletes, lifters, and active adults, the formula combines creatine, nootropics, endurance agents, pump support, and recovery elements in a single scoop. The concept draws inspiration from the pound-for-pound strength of ants and features Black Ant Extract, described as a tradition-inspired ingredient rich in zinc and vitality factors.
“Black Ant isn’t just another pre-workout; it’s an entire stack in one,” said Ryan Gardner, CEO and Co-Founder of Bucked Up. “With ingredients to increase strength and power output!”
At the core is creatine monohydrate paired with CreaSol SSAT, which is designed to support absorption and rapid energy production so strength gains last beyond the pump. The profile includes Ripfactor and mango bark extract to support measurable strength in as little as two weeks, plus black ant extract for endurance and vitality. Nootropics such as L-tyrosine, GPCgold, and huperzine A aim to promote focus and drive, while L-citrulline and beta-alanine target pump and endurance. Electrolytes and minerals including magnesium, sodium, and a fulvic complex support hydration and recovery, with 150mg of caffeine per scoop for steady energy.
Bucked Up says Black Ant is being tested in a study at Auburn University, with results expected in October 2025.
