Avoid Magic Powder Coffee Dietary Supplement

A new warning this week from the Food and Drug Administration. Consumers are being warned not to use an instant coffee being sold online as a dietary supplement for sexual enhancement.

On the packaging Magic Power Coffee claims to be 100% natural and is labeled as an “all natural dietary supplement” yet this supplement can cause serious harm particularly for those taking nitrates (nitroglycerin).

Lab analysis done by the FDA determined that "Magic Power Coffer" contains a chemical similar to the active ingredient in Viagra, a prescription drug used to treat ED (erectile dysfunction).

Viagra has a list of contraindications for use. The chemical may interact with prescription drugs known as nitrates, including nitroglycerin, and cause dangerously low blood pressure.
