Why natural beats chemical in terms of enhancement
The biggest problem in the supplement industry, including the sexual enhancement supplement industry, is the unreliability of the end product. Independent tests reveal that nearly 50-60% of all supplements on the market do not contain what they say they contain in the amounts that are promised on the label. We are very aware of this justified criticism and therefore we work with an independent organization (GMP – Good Manufacturing Practices) to insure that everything we put into our product is safe and everything you see on the label is in each and every capsule in the exact same proportions. Our product will not do any harm to your body physically or mentally and it will produce the advertised results regularly. That's our pledge to you.

OTC drugs are widely used in India, accounting for 55% of drugs consumed.

Proper use of OTC drugs requires carefully reading and following all label instructions.

Diet, stress relief, and prescription medications may control moderate to severe hot flashes.
