Bucked Up® Launches Black Ant Pre-Workout, Combining Creatine and Innovation for Strength You Can Feel

Strength you can feel—from your first scoop to your next PR.

OREM, Utah, Sept. 19, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Bucked Up®, one of the nation's fastest-growing supplement brands, today announced the launch of Black Ant, a first-of-its-kind pre-workout that doubles as an all-in-one performance stack. Built to inspire athletes, lifters, and active adults alike, Black Ant delivers strength you can feel with a formula that combines creatine, nootropics, endurance agents, pump support, and recovery elements into a single scoop.

There's strong—and then there's ant-strong. Pound for pound, ants are among the strongest creatures on Earth, capable of carrying up to 50 times their body weight. That raw, efficient power inspired Bucked Up to create Black Ant, a pre-workout designed to channel that same instinct with the help of Black Ant Extract, a tradition-inspired ingredient rich in zinc and vitality factors. The result is a formula built to give everyday athletes results they can feel in every rep, every set, every goal smashed.

"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 of the formula is Creatine Monohydrate paired with CreaSol™ SSAT, designed to support absorption and rapid energy production. This innovation makes creatine more effective, helping strength gains last beyond the pump.

Key Ingredients & Benefits of Black Ant:

• Creatine Monohydrate + CreaSol™ SSAT – supports strength and absorption for lasting performance
• RIPFACTOR® + Mango Bark Extract – to support measurable strength in as little as two weeks
• Black Ant Extract – a zinc-rich, tradition-inspired ingredient for endurance and vitality
• Nootropics (L-Tyrosine, GPCgold®, Huperzine A) – promote focus, clarity, and drive
• Pump & Endurance Agents (L-Citrulline, Beta-Alanine) – deliver sustained training power
• Electrolytes & Minerals (Magnesium, Sodium, Fulvic Complex) – help maintain hydration and recovery
• 150mg Caffeine per Scoop – clean, steady energy without overstimulation

Black Ant is also being tested in a study at Auburn University, with results expected in October 2025. This commitment to research underscores Bucked Up's mission to create products backed by both science and real-world performance.

Black Ant makes its debut on TikTok Shop September 19 as part of Super Brand Day, giving fans the first chance to experience Bucked Up's newest innovation. Black Ant will also be available on BuckedUp.com. This launch marks a new milestone for Bucked Up, using TikTok's biggest shopping event to introduce a pre-workout designed to deliver the power of an entire stack in one scoop.
