Brea manufacturer Nature & Health Co. has issued a nationwide recall of six of its dietary supplements.
The products are LibieXtreme, Y-4ever, Libimax X liquid, Powermania liquid, Powermania capsule and Herbal Disiac. They were sold by retailers in California, Georgia, Illinois, Texas and Ohio.
The company said it was recalling the supplements after a lab analysis by the Food and Drug Administration found that samples contained active ingredients of drugs used to treat erectile dysfunction. Those active ingredients were not listed on the product labels and may interact with nitrates found in some prescription drugs, which could lower blood pressure to dangerous levels, the FDA said in a statement.
People with diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol or heart disease often take nitrates.
Nature & Health said it had not received any reports of illnesses or adverse side effects.
Consumers should stop taking these products immediately and return any unused products for a refund of the full purchase price or price for the unused portion to the retail location where they were purchased. Contact Nature & Health at (714) 671-0016 or e-mail sales@naturehealth.com for further instructions.
