The Czech health authorities have stepped in to ban the import of a dangerous food supplement after a clinical trial showed that it contained an untested and possibly extremely dangerous chemical called noracetildenafil. The product which appears to have originated from China is called Sagirra and comes in the form of small plastic bottles that only contain four tablets. The Czech Agriculture and Food Inspection Authority explained that noracetildenafil was a doctored version of the active ingredient of the erectile dysfunction drug Viagra and it had not been subjected to clinical analysis to determine its safety.

The real ingredient of Viagra namely sildenafil has been subjected to years of controlled clinical testing whereas very little is known about noracetildenafil. It is not quite clear why noracetildenafil was manufactured instead of sildenafil for the Sagirra tablets but it is likely that either the manufacturers did not know how to produce it and thus inadvertently produced noracetildenafil, or that they deliberately produced it to try and avoid detection from health authorities looking for sildenafil.
The Czech Health Authority explained that Sagirra was often sold online and said that this was the third time this year that they had stepped in to prevent the import of a Chinese dietary supplement claiming to enhance male sexual potency.
The majority of Chinese medicines claim to be traditional, herbal or natural but in fact from our own research at Ukmedix News we have seen that more and more of them are being laced with powerful prescription chemicals manufactured without licence and smuggled into Europe and the United States under the umbrella of harmless supplements.
It really is just not worth taking the risk and you are likely to only experience disappointment or health complications if you use anything which has not been recommended to you by a doctor. You can read about hundreds of cases of fake and dangerous so called health supplements being sold all around the world at Ukmedix News.
