These are sold online and in some convenience stores, often with bold claims like “100% Natural” or “As Effective as Viagra.”
Why they don’t work
They are rarely standardized and often contain undisclosed, unregulated, and potentially harmful ingredients. The amount of active compound (if any) can vary wildly between batches.
The danger
They may contain hidden pharmaceutical drugs at unsafe doses, or worse, toxic substances like heavy metals. They are not approved by any health authority like the FDA or Malaysian DCA.
