Desmodus SaddleSanguine Elixir — Detailed Guide
A blood brew for taming and imprinting
Sanguine Elixir is a Fjordur consumable found in ARK: Survival Evolved and ARK: Survival Ascended, and it gives a tame or an imprint an instant boost. Its description reads: "Tastes salty and metallic, yet still strangely alluring to hungry creatures..."
Brewing it on a Desmodus
The recipe is 200 
Blood Pack. According to the ARK Wiki, the elixir is crafted on a 
Desmodus itself, while the creature wears its own saddle and holds the 200 Blood Pack in its inventory. A craft takes 5 seconds and gives 1 XP.
Using the elixir
Put it on the hotbar, approach the creature being tamed or the baby being raised, and look at that creature as you use it. For any creature, taming progress, or a baby's imprint progress, jumps by 30% at once. Each creature can receive it only one time: the wiki says that letting a tame wake up and knocking it out again does not allow a second use.
A spoil timer that cannot be stretched
The elixir spoils after 14400 seconds, or 4 hours, and the wiki says nothing extends that: neither a creature's inventory nor a Preserving bin helps. Its advice is to keep Blood Packs in a fridge and brew elixirs only when needed. One elixir weighs 0.5 and has a stack size of 1.
