Sexual supplement that you can buy online that is tainted with prescription drugs that are not safe for you. I have seen this in my patient where they come to see me for ED after many, many years and with buying supplements online to help them with their ed. And they said they're not on testosterone. They don't take Viagra or Tadalafil. They I would do blood work. And Lord and behold, in the blood work, I would see high level of testosterone, or we would see that there's Viagra in there. And they show me the supplement they've been taking. And on the ingredient, you don't see anything about testosterone or Viagra, but yet it shows in their blood. And this is more common than it is uncommon.
