Two men seeking to boost sexual performance and grow bigger muscles instead ended up with advanced prostate cancer after taking "herbal" supplements, Urologists at the University of Texas Southwestern medical school became concerned after two men developed aggressive and incurable prostate cancer within months of taking the same supplement. They analyzed the product, which they did not name for legal reasons, and found it contained two hormones -- testosterone and estradiol. When they tested it on tumor cells in the lab, they found it fueled the growth of prostate cancer cells more potently than testosterone alone, they reported in the journal Clinical Cancer Research.
"We filed an adverse event report with the FDA who issued a warning letter. The manufacturer responded by removing this HHDS product from the market," the researchers wrote.
Bonnie - as I alluded to in my in-depth piece MANopause, one must be very wary of sexual performance supplements and online prescription medications. Online prescriptions have been found to be tainted as well as fake. "Natural" supplements are no different. Work with a licensed health professional before considering any of these substances.
