The Food and Drug Administration has issued a recall for certain sexual enhancement supplements. The FDA is recalling the products because they’ve been found to contain certain drugs not disclosed on the product labeling. Both products, including Black Ant and Vicerex, are advertised by their manufacturer as supplements designed to enhance sexual performance and libido. The FDA is asking consumers to return these products to the store where they originally purchased them, or to American Lifestyle, the manufacturer. The recall may have far-reaching effects, as sexual enhancement supplements are becoming increasingly popular throughout the country. Millions of men across the U.S. use these types of supplements in an attempt to curb erectile dysfunction or increase libido.

There are numerous possible causes of erectile dysfunction. Physical causes can include high cholesterol, high blood pressure, heart disease, diabetes and obesity. There are psychological causes as well, however, which can include stress, depression, anxiety or relationship troubles. Researchers are still discovering new contributing factors also. For example, a new study by researchers at Inonu University in Turkey has discovered that treating gum disease can actually alleviate symptoms of erectile dysfunction. The study adds to a growing body of research indicating that your dental health is influential on may other aspects of your health, as well. Although the study did not prove that gum disease is the cause of ED entirely, it suggests that the symptoms of ED can be alleviated with improvements in dental health.
