QUICK ANSWER
- No side effects are listed on the label, but several ingredients have known interactions.
- Check with a pharmacist if you take blood thinners, heart, blood pressure, ED, thyroid or hormone medicine.
- Not for under-18s, women, pregnancy or nursing, or within two weeks of surgery.
The honest starting point
A label that lists no side effects is not proof there are none. Supplements are not FDA approved before sale (NIH ODS).
Ingredient-by-ingredient cautions
Saw palmetto can interact with blood thinners and hormone medicines and may affect PSA tests (NCCIH). Hawthorn can interact with heart and blood pressure medicine (NCCIH). Epimedium may interact with blood thinners and blood pressure drugs (MedlinePlus).
Zinc and magnesium
Zinc above about 40 mg a day can reduce copper absorption over time, so avoid stacking it with other zinc products (NIH). Magnesium can loosen the bowel at high intakes.
Who should not take it
Anyone under 18, women, anyone pregnant or nursing, and anyone with surgery within two weeks. Men with heart, liver, kidney, prostate or thyroid conditions should talk to a clinician first.
A note on erection problems
New erection difficulty can signal heart or metabolic issues (MedlinePlus). See a doctor first. Then read saw palmetto and PSA and how to take ErecPower.
Frequently asked questions
Can I take ErecPower with blood pressure medicine?
Only after checking with your doctor or pharmacist, because hawthorn and Epimedium may interact with it.
Is ErecPower safe with ED drugs?
Ask your doctor first. Epimedium works on the same nitric oxide pathway as nitrates and ED drugs.
