Polyrhachis Vicina Extract | Mountain Jing | Wild Sourced
✧ What is Mountain Jing (Polyrhachis Ant)?
Mountain Jing is our extract of the wild mountain ant, Polyrhachis vicina, one of the more unusual and treasured tonics in the Chinese tradition. The polyrhachis ant has been gathered from the forests of southern China for centuries and regarded as a Jing tonic, a herb of deep, foundational vitality, mentioned in the old Chinese pharmacopoeias.
Naturally rich in minerals, particularly zinc, it is offered here as a concentrated full spectrum extract. Please note this is an insect-derived product and is therefore not vegetarian or vegan.
✧ What is a full spectrum extract, and why does it matter?
Our mountain jing is extracted with purified water, in line with the traditions of Chinese herbalism, using a gentle, temperature-controlled process matched to the herb's characteristics. This captures the naturally occurring compounds in the same proportions found in the herb itself, which is what makes it a true full spectrum extract rather than an isolated or standardised fraction.
The liquid extract is dried with fine spray technology into a micro-fine powder that dissolves easily into warm water. Nothing is added, and nothing is standardised away.
