Sexy-ME

1. Sexy-ME

Sexy-ME is a smartshop product priced at €10.00. The name places it in the aphrodisiac corner of the smartshop category, alongside products such as HappyCaps Sex-E.

We have to be straight with you: no product information was supplied for this listing. No ingredients, no format, no pack size, no dosing, no description of any kind. That is not something we are willing to cover up with atmospheric copy, so this page says what we know, which is not much, and what we are doing about it, which is asking the producer.

What follows is honest rather than complete. If you want this product, message us first and we will get the details from the supplier before you order — it takes one email and it saves you buying something you cannot assess.

3. Buying blind

We would rather explain how to think about a product with no published information than write four paragraphs implying we know things we do not:

1. Ask before you buy. Message us and we will get the ingredient list, the format and the pack size from the supplier. This is the single most useful thing on this page.
2. Do not assume it resembles a similar-sounding product. Two aphrodisiac-positioned supplements can contain completely different things — L-arginine and herbs in one, a stimulant stack in another, something serotonergic in a third.
3. Do not take it at all if you are on medication. An undisclosed formula is one a pharmacist cannot check, which effectively rules it out for anyone with a prescription.
4. Start with the smallest amount indicated on the pack. Whatever the format turns out to be.
5. Consider a disclosed alternative instead. HappyCaps Sex-E lists L-arginine, damiana, ashwagandha and tribulus with milligram quantities over a full vitamin and mineral base. You can read exactly what is in it before deciding.

3.1 What aphrodisiac products can honestly claim

Since this is the category the name places it in, it is worth setting the general picture. The botanicals used in this area — damiana, ashwagandha, tribulus, maca, horny goat weed — have long traditional use and generally thin controlled evidence. The ingredients with authorised health claims attached tend to be the unglamorous ones: zinc contributes to normal fertility, reproduction and normal blood testosterone levels, and that claim belongs to the zinc rather than to any herb.

None of which tells you what is in this particular product, because nobody has said.

4. Cautions

• Strictly 18+.
• Nothing about this product’s contents has been disclosed, which means neither we nor a pharmacist can tell you what it might interact with. Treat that as a reason for caution rather than a formality.
• Do not take it alongside any medication.
• Do not take it if you are on an MAO inhibitor or an antidepressant. With an undisclosed formula that is not a risk worth accepting.
• Do not use with high or low blood pressure, a heart condition, a thyroid disorder or kidney disease.
• Not during pregnancy or breastfeeding.
• Do not combine with alcohol or other stimulants.
• Start with the smallest amount the packaging indicates, whatever that turns out to be.
• Keep out of reach of children.

We do not know what is in this. Rather than write around that, here is the useful advice: ask us first, and we will get the details from the supplier before you order.
