FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE - Brea, CA – July 15, 2009 – Opteron 1 Inc. dba Nature & Health Co., announced today that it is conducting a voluntary nationwide recall of the company's five supplement products sold under the following names: LibieXtreme, Y-4ever, Libimax X Liquid, Powermania Liquid and Capsule, Herbal Disiac.

The Company has been informed by representatives of the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) that lab analysis by FDA of these five samples found they contains either tadalafil, an active ingredient of an FDA-approved drug for erectile dysfunction (ED) , its analog aminotadalafil, or the analog of sidenafil, an active ingredient of another FDA-approved ED drug, making these products unapproved drugs. None of the active drug ingredients are listed on the product labels.  The undeclared ingredients may interact with nitrates found in some prescription drugs such as nitroglycerin and may lower blood pressure to dangerous levels.
