Male Dietary Supplement Sold on Amazon Is Recalled

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has announced a voluntary recall of a "dietary supplement for male performance and energy."

The reason might disturb some people because the recall was initiated due to the supplement containing an "ingredient in FDA-approved products for treatment of male erectile dysfunction." It can have serious health effects in some people.

According to the May 6, 2025, recall notice, the affected product is called "Endurance Boost Horny Goat Weed" and comes in capsule form.

The company has a very long name: EnShiShiXiangNiShangMaoYouXianGongSi.

According to the FDA, it "is voluntarily recalling one lot of Endurance Boost With Horny Goat Weed (20 Count) capsules to the consumer level. During the regular sampling, the product has been found to be tainted with Propoxyphenylsildenafil (a sildenafil analogue) and Sildenafil. Sildenafil is an ingredient in FDA approved products for treatment of male erectile dysfunction in the family of drugs known as phosphodiesterase (PDE-5) inhibitors."

The FDA noted: "Products containing sildenafil cannot be marketed as dietary supplements. Endurance Boost With Horny Goat Weed Eis an unapproved new drug for which safety and efficacy have not been established and, therefore, subject to recall."

The FDA warned that consequences could be severe.

"Consumption of products with undeclared sildenafil and its analogue propoxyphenylsildenafil, may interact with nitrates found in some prescription drugs (such as nitroglycerin) and may cause a significant drop in blood pressure that may be life-threatening," the FDA wrote. "People with diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, or heart disease often take nitrates. Among the adult male population, who are most likely to use this product, adult males who use nitrates for cardiac conditions are most at risk. To date April 30, 2025, EnShiShiXiangNiShangMaoYouXianGongSi has not received any reports of adverse events related to this recall."

The FDA added: "This tainted product is marketed as a nutrition supplement for male performance and energy, and is packaged in a blue and white cardboard carton, with white and black lettering and contains a 20-count blister pack. The affected lot is LOT: 250214PRO, Expiration Date: 02/14/2027. The product can be identified by the labels attached below. Product was distributed solely online at US Amazon.com."
