Consumer alert: Zencore recalled

The advertisement claims, Zencore Tabs are an all-natural herbal supplement, clinically tested, that enhances male sexual performance. Each tablet contains 22 powerful natural herbs.

Now, Bodee LLC is recalling it from the market.

It turns out that somewhere along the line aminotadalafil, an analog of tadalafil (Cialis), found its way into the bottle. The reason is unclear, since the 22 natural herbs are so “powerful.”

Oops, what’s this? Another lot of Zencore Tabs contained sildenafil (Viagra).

The bottom line?
The main problem is that both undeclared chemicals pose a threat to consumers because they may interact with nitrates found in some prescription drugs (such as nitroglycerin) and may lower blood pressure to dangerous levels.
