Singapore’s Health Sciences Authority (HSA) has issued an advisory warning people against consuming “The New Millennium Male Horse Power Capsule”, a health supplement manufactured in the United States and distributed locally by American Bioceutics Labs LLP.
In the United States, the product is known as “Natural Vigor”.
The product claims to be a “natural aphrodisiac and strength enhancer” developed by “Egyptian, American and Indian Scientists and Doctors to help men supplement five major needs of their masculine bodies”. Only one shipment of this product was imported into Singapore, and it was sold under the batch number B/N 786-01-09. All remaining stocks have been seized from the distributor.
In a routine product quality sampling check conducted by HAS, test analysis found “The New Millennium Male Horse Power Capsule” to contain yohimbine and dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA). Both substances are used to treat impotence and improve sexuality, although convincing evidence for their effectiveness is lacking.
Yohimbine can cause serious side effects such as severe hypotension, heart disorders and even death. The hormone DHEA can cause hair loss, voice deepening, insulin resistance, liver dysfunction and high blood pressure.
Although no adverse events associated with “The New Millennium Male Horse Power Capsule” have been reported, HSA strongly advises anyone who has purchased it not to consume it. If they have consumed it and are feeling unwell, or are concerned about their health, they are urged to seek medical advice.
So, be cautious of dubious and unproven products that make claims to “enhance male performance”. For further clarification about “The New Millennium Male Horse Power Capsule”, you can HSA at has_is@hsa.gov.sg or +65.6866 3485
