The FDA has become more vigilant in the regulation of dietary supplements

An urgent warning recently put out by the United States Food & Drug Administration concerns a sexual enhancement dietary supplement being sold online. Testing has shown it to contain prescription compounds which are not listed in its labeling and which could be harmful to certain people.

The product which is called Stiff Nights, when undergoing clinical testing was seen to contain sulfoaildenafil which is a doctored version of the key pharmaceutical ingredient that is found in the impotence medication Viagra. The FDA said that it had even been sold at retail outlets around America and that was in strict violation of federal laws which regulate the sale and marketing of dietary supplements.

Ms Deborah Autor who is director of the FDA Center for Drug Evaluation and Research Office of Compliance explained that not only was the product being advertised illegally but it could also cause “serious complications”, especially as it was incorrectly labeled as a completely “natural dietary supplement”.

The FDA has become more vigilant in the regulation of dietary supplements and has compiled a list of products (see below) which contain potentially dangerous and undeclared ingredients.  If you come across a product which is not on the following list it does NOT mean that it is safe. Actra-Rx, Actra-Sx, Libidus, V.Max, Nasutra, Neophase, Vigor-25, Yilishen, Zimaxx, Liviro3, Lycium Barbarum L., Adam Free, Rhino V Max, 4EVERON, True Man, Energy Max HS, Joy of Love, NaturalUp, Blue Steel, Super Shangai, Strong Testis, Shangai Ultra Shangai, Ultra X, Erextra, Lady Shangai, Shangai Regular, Xiadafil VIP, Shangai Chaojimengnan, Hero Naturalë Super Plus.

You should never buy anything to treat erectile dysfunction unless it has been given to you by a doctor because the chances are it is either completely useless or dangerous. Only three medications have been given full approval to treat erectile dysfunction and they are Viagra, Cialis and Levitra.
