(AP) WASHINGTON (AP) - The Food and Drug Administration on Saturday urged consumers to stop using an instant coffee product that is being marketed as a sexual aphrodisiac, saying it could dangerously lower blood pressure.
In a statement, the FDA said Magic Power Coffee contains a chemical that could interact with some prescription drugs to significantly lower blood pressure. When blood pressure drops suddenly, the brain is deprived of an adequate blood supply, which can lead to dizziness or lightheadedness.
"Because this product is an instant coffee labeled as an 'all natural dietary supplement,' consumers may assume it is harmless and poses no health risk," said Deborah M. Autor, director of FDA's Center for Drug Evaluation and Research, Office of Compliance. "In fact, Magic Power Coffee can cause serious harm."

I had not idea that Goji Berry can lower blood pressure and sugar.
I take supplements for my cardiovascular health because I have high blood pressure and is not related to weight.
This is very interesting.
Now I believe that is two kind of Goji berries and the ones that has been used since ancient times for well being are from China.

These are mostly for men.

Thanks, I would do more threads on blood pressure and alternative medicine but many here in ATS are not interested on those topics unless is a government conspiracy attach to them.
