*** May be manufactured in a facility that processes boner medicine.

    Its being marketed as ED medicine, so I doubt it was an accident. A lot of the virility pills in gas stations are a mix of boner meds and discontinued anti-depressants.

    Yeah they usually have an animal on it with vague claims of what it will do. Here are some examples

    Dont even get me started on feelfree.

    Might I inquire about getting you started on feelfree? It sound intriguing!

    Its a "botanical product" that is an extract of Mitragynine from Kratom and Kavalactones from Kava.

    Now I have no problem with either of those or even 7OH products being legal. They are way safer than most street drugs. My problem with them is the labelling, or lack of.

    It looks like an energy shot and doesn't say what's in it clearly, and doesn't even tell you what the effects are supposed to be. Many people try it thinking it's another 5 hour energy competitor and get addicted by accident.

    I also have concerns about the liver when it comes to taking both of those simultaneously. Kratom alkaloids are processed by the liver, and although it seems safe enough on its own Kavalactone is known to have hepatoxicity. I worry combining them might exacerbate Kavas hepatoxicity.

    Uhuh. I'm going to need the exact name of this product so I know what to avoid exactly.

    You think it's sold on Amazon? You know so I don't buy it.

    How much is it? I just want to complain about the price.

    Shit like this is why I refuse to consume any protein powder or supplement type stuff. That world is sketchy. At least I know what harm hot cheetos are doing to me

    Assuming you live in a country with strict ingredient labeling standards and have an encyclopedic knowledge of additives and what they might do to you.

    If you want something harmful where you KNOW what's in it and why it's harmful, just grab a bag of sugar and a spoon 😉

    My uncle was in the confectionery industry, and he used to say that cotton candy (which is literally just sugar) was the healthiest food in theme parks.

    He's probably right, too, because each ball of cotton candy is made from a relatively small amount of sugar.

    this is also why i actually think hard candy that's basically just solid sugar, is the best kind.
    Because you're sucking on it and the sugar dissolves into your saliva you get a lot of sweetness that lasts a long time, rather than constantly shoveling stuff into your mouth.

    Now, i have no clue how terrible it is for your teeth to soak your mouth in sugar water for hours on end, but it's not like that doesn't happen with other candies, and i'd imagine it's pretty good to avoid chewing on sugar?

    a product sold as a honey-based, male sexual enhancement supplement

    The agency warned consumers not to buy the product in October, noting it contained “the active ingredient in Cialis.”

    On one hand, I get it, on the other, we know it 100% works at least, unlike when they put oyster or horny goat weed or whatever in that stuff.

    Reminds me of all the "natural viagras" being sold in turkey. Every fucking fruit or preserved fruit based dessert is sold as an aphrodisiac.

    Apples are a traditional aphrodesiac now that you mention it. For men. Licorice is for woman. That is real though, the licorice, the apple is a bit questionable.

    finns inhale licorice all the time and i can't say i've ever heard of them being particularly raunchy

    then again maybe it just brings them back up to a normal level, and that's why they self-medicate with licorice..

    It's a female aphrodesiac, but as with a lot of stuff, it works better with some people than with others, and there are sometimes drugs, substances you can take it with that will make it more effective. I don't have the full story, but some woman are supposed to be able to orgasm just by yawning on black licorice.
