Erectile dysfunction is a common issue with men all over the world, and it is estimated to affect half of the men between the age of 40 to 70. In 2018 however, I am seeing many men who are well below this age suffering from this condition. It is an embarrassing condition for men, and it is a symptom of a collection of poor lifestyle, psychological and dietary habits.
Stamina RX takes a significant marketing leverage in being advertised as a natural supplement that helps boost sexual stamina both for men and women.

FDA Safety Recall
If you take Stamina-Rx dietary supplements, you should stop immediately because it could jeopardize your health.
That’s according to the Food and Drug Administration, which announced a nationwide recall of Stamina-Rx supplements because they were found to contain an undeclared drug that is similar to erectile dysfunction medicines, such as sildenafil (Viagra), tadalafil (Cialis), and vardenafil (Levitra). it was found to contain tadalafil which is commonly used in prescription drugs.
Viagra which is also called sidenafil citrate is the most popular drug for treating erectile dysfunction; it has treated more than 16 million men throughout the world. It is part of a group of drugs called PDE-5 Inhibitors, which does its function by helping to relax the blood vessels and allows blood to move into the penis which results in an erection.
The widespread use of Viagra is because it has successfully treated 65-75 of impotent men and even men who have had serious impotence. It starts to take effect 30 minutes after it is taken and last up to four hours. It is available only on doctors prescription.
Health Risks
While Stamina RX is advertised as a natural supplement, it was found to contain tadalafil and benxamidenafi, which are commonly used in drug treatments for male impotence. When Stamina RX is distributed as non-prescription drugs, the inclusion of these prescription drug ingredients may pose a certain health risk.
The problem is a prescription-strength drug, which has not been labeled can interact with several other drugs, which people with erectile dysfunction often use and the result is a dangerous lowering of the blood pressure, which can trigger a stroke!
This example shows that even if you are well familiar with the ingredients of such supplements, there is a great risk to contain illegal substances. Just imagine that you take suck pills convinced that they will improve your sexual life and instead of this, a stroke puts an end to your life for “only $49.95”.
Stamina-RX also contains Yohimbe which the FDA warns has serious adverse effects when taken with cheese, liver and red wine. Overdosing can even cause death!
Consumers Are At Risk
Stamina-RX failed to disclose chemicals used in their product that are regulated to Viagra and similar prescriptions putting consumers at risk. Stamina RX uses ingredients which are untested, unstudied, and definitely not FDA-approved.
Products like Stamina RX not only dilate blood vessels in the penis, they can lower blood pressure in critical areas of the brain and heart causing you to faint. And, if your brain gets no oxygen for 5 minutes then you can die. The risk is higher for older people who are taking blood pressure-lowering medications.
Also, product uses relatively unknown and unproven ingredients (Xanthoparmelia scabrosa and Cnidium Monnier), which may either be a breakthrough or risky solution to correcting sexual problems.
Don’t Mix with Alcohol and Drugs
If you mix Stamina RX with alcohol or recreational drugs you are at an increased risk of cardiovascular problems such as reduced blood pressure and heart complications which can lead to respiratory failure.
Another problem with companies that use undisclosed ingredients is if you don’t know what’s in it you end up with random drugs and have to wait and see what it happens. You’re better off focusing on your health and diet for a healthy penis and taking natural supplements with a proven track record.
Herbal Ingredients
The main ingredients of Stamina RX include L-arginine, Pausinystalia Yohimbe (Yohimbe), Cnidium Monnier and Xanthoparmelia scabrosa. It also uses horny goat weed and Gamma Amino Butyric Acid in its proprietary blend.
Taladafil
Cialis is widely used in various drug treatments for male impotence.
This is not something you should buy unless you have a prescription from your doctor because it can harmful to your health.
People who take Tadalafil have experienced muscle aches, headaches, sinus flare-ups, upset stomach, redness in the face, hot flashes, and chest pain. This is why you need to speak to a medical professional before taking it.
The reason why doctors write you a prescription for Viagra is they need to evaluate your health so you take the correct dose without harming yourself.
Gamma Amino Butyric Acid
Gamma Amino Butyric Acid (GABA) comes from the amino acid glutamic acid. It is found in large amounts in your hypothalamus, the area of your brain responsible for regulating appetite and body temperature. If you take GABA supplements, it is important that you also take vitamin B6 to act as a cofactor. Otherwise, your body cannot metabolize the GABA properly.
Functions of GABA in Your Body • Aids your body in secreting growth hormone • Helps control hypoglycemia • Is an inhibitory neurotransmitter • Lowers blood pressure • Muscle relaxant • Prevents anxiety • Produces a calming effect on the brain • Promotes sleep
Yohimbe
This extract and bark contain stimulants that are helpful in boosting sexual stamina or libido. Yohimbe works by blocking specific neurotransmitters in the brain to boost sexual performance and increases the release of NO inside the penis.
However, the side effects and be unpleasant and include elevated blood pressure and anxiety. I have experienced these first hand when I first began using penis enlargement pills and advise anyone to be careful if they are sensitive to these herbs. You might even want to consult with your doctor before taking these products.
L-arginine
Beneficial in increasing blood flow and stimulation by helping the body synthesize Nitric Oxide (NO), which is helpful in correcting erectile dysfunction and male impotence. L-arginine is found in meats, chicken, fish, and dairy products and is the foundation for NO production. The problem with taking it as an oral supplement is your body tends to metabolize it too fast making it less effective.
Xanthoparmelia
Xanthoparmelia scabrosa is particularly helpful in increasing blood flow to the penis and Cnidium Monnier is responsible for increasing the levels of nitric oxide, which helps sustain erections. Products containing xanthoparmelia are often marketed for sexual enhancement.
In 2004, the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) seized numerous brand name supplement products containing xanthoparmelia because these products also contained the prescription drug tadalafil (Cialis). This drug is used to treat erectile dysfunction (ED).
Cnidium monnieri
An herb derived from traditional Chinese medicine, Cnidium monnieri appears to work in a similar way to Viagra. It has been used to treat impotence and boost sex drive. There is not enough information available to know if it is safe in humans.
Furthermore, there is not enough scientific information to determine an appropriate range of doses for cnidium. Keep in mind that natural products are not always necessarily safe and dosages can be important.
Horny Goat Weed
Horny goat weed (Epimedium) is used by doctors for a variety of disorders. This herb is often used in Chinese medical clinics around the world. It is very popular. The Chinese name is Yin Yang Huo or Xian Ling Pi. Horney Goat Weed studies on animals show horny goat weed appears to increase nitric oxide levels.
This relaxes smooth muscle and lets more blood flow to the penis or clitoris. Nitric oxide increases affect smooth muscle relaxation in several actions including the wall lining of blood vessels. It can decrease or lower levels the PDE-5 enzyme in a similar manner to popular drug Viagra. This hormone normalizes endocrine hormones such as cortisol, testosterone, and thyroid hormone.
There are side effects associated with this herb: stomach upset, dry mouth and in some it may result in irregular heartbeat, low blood pressure and mood changes. The use of horny goat weed should be by doctors approval, particularly so if you are on drugs like aspirin, birth control pills, antidepressants, blood thinners, thyroid problems and medicine that lower cholesterol or blood pressure.
Is It Worth It?
Being a non-prescription drug, Stamina RX is accessible to those who want to enhance sexual performance and achieve greater sexual satisfaction. However, the supplements can be dangerous. While cheaper than what your doctor can offer, you’re putting your health at risk if you consume them. You just don’t know what’s really in these pills. You might be ok if you’re a young healthy male but personally, I wouldn’t risk it. Since a lot of people have reported restlessness and nausea I would be wary.
Any product that promises to work in 3o minutes and is touted as a “safe” alternative to Viagra is probably a scam.

Summary
For a product that may pose certain health risks, which include high blood pressure, stroke, seizure and kidney and thyroid problems, I can’t recommend it. You dont know where the ingredients are from, how pure they are or if they really are what the company says they are. What upsets me the most is these companies fail to comprehend the danger of selling this stuff when someone takes the wrong dosage or is on other medications.
