DIETARY SUPPLEMENTS

Nutraloid Labs Inc. announced today that it is conducting a voluntary nationwide recall of two dietary supplement products sold under the names: ejaculoid XXTREME and stimuloid II.

Nutraloid Labs Inc. has been informed by representatives of the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) that lab analysis of ejaculoid XXTREME, Lot 79935, and stimuloid II, Lot 79936, by the FDA found that the products contain sulfoaildenafil, similar in structure to Sildenafil. Sildenafil is an active ingredient of an FDA-approved drug for male Erectile Dysfunction (ED), making these products unapproved drugs. The active drug ingredient is not listed on the product label. The undeclared ingredient may interact with nitrates found in some prescription drugs such as nitroglycerin and may lower blood pressure to dangerous levels. Consumers with diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, or heart disease often take nitrates.

The recalled products listed below were distributed in black plastic bottles to distributors and via internet sales.

Ejaculoid XXTREME 30 Capsules/Bottle 79935 12/12 8 04879 17868 2
