Affected products

What caused the issue?

The recall was triggered by the discovery of undeclared tadalafil, a phosphodiesterase (PDE-5) inhibitor used in FDA-approved erectile dysfunction medications. The presence of this ingredient poses a serious health risk, particularly for individuals taking nitrates for conditions such as:

• High blood pressure

Risks of undeclared ingredients in supplements

• Unexpected Drug Interactions: Consumers unaware of hidden pharmaceutical ingredients may suffer from serious interactions with prescribed medications.
• Severe Health Reactions: Certain populations, such as the elderly or those with pre-existing conditions, face higher risks of adverse effects.
• Lack of Medical Supervision: Undisclosed ingredients prevent healthcare providers from properly assessing risks and providing guidance.
• Regulatory Violations: Supplements containing undisclosed drugs violate FDA regulations and could lead to legal action against the manufacturer.

Potential health risks

• Dangerous blood pressure drop (especially when combined with nitrate medications)
• Cardiac complications for individuals with pre-existing heart conditions
• Potential unknown side effects due to the unapproved nature of the supplement

Consumers at risk

• Individuals with heart disease or high blood pressure taking nitrate medications
• Elderly individuals are more susceptible to drug interactions
• People with diabetes, cholesterol, or cardiovascular conditions
