The Food and Drug Administration recalled a honey energy supplement on Wednesday after an undeclared erectile dysfunction medication was found in the product, the agency said.
Its a “botanical product” that is an extract of Mitragynine from Kratom and Kavalactones from Kava.
Now I have no problem with either of those or even 7OH products being legal. They are way safer than most street drugs. My problem with them is the labelling, or lack of.
It looks like an energy shot and doesn’t say what’s in it clearly, and doesn’t even tell you what the effects are supposed to be. Many people try it thinking it’s another 5 hour energy competitor and get addicted by accident.
I also have concerns about the liver when it comes to taking both of those simultaneously. Kratom alkaloids are processed by the liver, and although it seems safe enough on its own Kavalactone is known to have hepatoxicity. I worry combining them might exacerbate Kavas hepatoxicity.

I have learned something new, thank you for taking the time to write this!
