A popular "natural" male vitality supplement is under a nationwide recall after tests showed it was secretly packing a prescription-strength punch. Primal Herbs Volume, sold online as an herbal product for male performance, has been found to contain sildenafil, the active ingredient in Viagra, which was never listed on the label. Health officials warn that the undisclosed drug could be dangerous for people who take nitrate medications or who have heart disease.
According to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, laboratory analysis confirmed the presence of sildenafil in the product. Primal Supplements Group LLC is now voluntarily recalling all orders of Primal Herbs Volume placed between July 2 and September 19, 2025. The agency has posted the company’s announcement and product photos along with the recall notice.
What To Do If You Bought Volume
The Primal Herbs website tells customers who placed orders during that time frame to stop using the product immediately and contact the company for a refund or replacement, as outlined on Primal Herbs. The supplement is shipped in 8.5-ounce round containers with green labels. Hold on to the tub and your order information so you can confirm the purchase dates. If you notice any unusual symptoms after taking the supplement, reach out to your healthcare provider right away.
Why This Is Dangerous
"This undeclared ingredient may interact with nitrates found in some prescription drugs, such as nitroglycerin, and may lower blood pressure to dangerous levels," the FDA warns in its recall notice. People with diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, or heart disease often take nitrates and are therefore at greater risk. If you take nitrates and used Volume, contact your doctor promptly.
Local Context
WCCB Charlotte has aired a local alert about the recall and the potential risk to residents who may have ordered the supplement online. Even if you feel fine, it is worth checking your past orders and talking with your provider before changing or stopping any medications.
If you or someone you care for develops dizziness, fainting, chest pain, or other concerning symptoms after taking the product, seek medical attention immediately and report adverse events to your healthcare provider and to the FDA’s MedWatch program. Full details on the recall are available from the FDA and in the company’s notice, and contact information is included in the official recall announcement.
