The FDA Just Cockblocked This Boner-Inducing Herbal Coffee

Right when we thought we were going to enjoy highly caffeinated erections, the FDA had to step in and kill the fun.

Stiff Bull Herbal Coffee labeled itself as the “Relationship Saver,” but the FDA just gave a warning saying the drink has an unlisted, viagra-like ingredient called desmethyl carbodenafil, and even went as far as to advise consumers not to purchase it.

While you’d think a male enhancement coffee would obviously carry a male enhancing ingredient, Stiff Bull advertised itself as a 100% natural aphrodisiac.

This thing was popular with more than 200,000 men ordering shipments to the US every month, according to Daily Mail.

The FDA’s notification feels like a Viagra, or Cialis commercial in its own right, saying:

“This undeclared ingredient may interact with nitrates found in some prescription drugs such as nitroglycerin and may lower blood pressure to dangerous levels. Men with diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, or heart disease often take nitrates.”

So the coffee would wake me up, give me a sweet-ass boner, but there’s a chance it would mess with my blood pressure. Nice.

Stiff Bull’s web site no longer loads, as they’re probably waiting out until they can do some damage control, but hopefully they can take care of this so we can start saving our relationships again.
