You Could Be Taking Viagra Without Even Knowing It

Between 2013 and 2016, the FDA found that supplement brands contained one or more of four unapproved stimulants. Despite public notice warnings from the agency, three-quarters of the supplements still contained at least one prohibited stimulant in 2017. And half contained two or more. This is a terrible thing.

 

For instance, most of the male enhancement drugs contained sildenafil. Sound familiar? That’s the active drug in Viagra.Dangerous interactions can occur with sildenafil and heart drugs like nitroglycerin and even some antibiotics. Sildenafil isn’t recommended for anyone with heart or lung disease either. Think about it… Do you tell your doctor every supplement you take? Most people don’t. And that can spell disaster.

Even going for the "Natural" supplements won't keep you safe. After all cocaine comes from coca leaves which has been eaten for centuries without the side-effects or the "high".Here is a BBC report on a man who had his liver ruined by taking green tea based supplements. A supplement isn't the same as drinking green tea. So don't take the shortcuts. The best option is to avoid supplements as much as possible.
