Note that a lot of these supplements are manufactured in the United States.

They could have been more specific, and that would have been more helpful.

Agreed...I've been looking for a list of supplements included, but am having a hard time. Will post if I find it.

Here's the paper https://www.dropbox.com/s/0cwtpktbuv...ments.pdf?dl=0

Usually, the "supplements" contain actual pharmaceuticals for sexual enhancement (Viagra, cialis, etc) or banned drugs like phen-fen for weight loss, though the weight loss ones in this paper seem to contain sibutramine which ain't that great of a weight loss drug. If you're going to use banned drugs, you might as well use ones that work really well.
