Have you seen this?
It seems incredibly expensive and risky for something that doesn't appear to be backed by real evidence, may not work, isn't subject to quality control standards and may contain a variety of substances that could cause serious health consequences or even death. I don't know about you, but I can't even find any real anecdotal evidence or a list of supposed ingredients on this stuff. And where there's a lack of info, there's usually a scam or something else untoward going on. When something is reasonably effective and safe, or has been around for awhile, the medical community, media and consumers are usually all over it.
With everything that's come out on dangerous Chinese products (including this "herbal viagra") recently and the generally poor regulation & QC in Chinese manufacturing, it doesn't seem very smart to touch any Chinese product that's medicine-like especially. Personally, I won't buy anything intended for consumption that's made in China at this point because the standards are so lax and things like pollution are so prevalent there. Even actual medications (e.g. generic Viagra) manufactured in countries like China, India and Mexico have been shown to have poor consistency and contain dangerous ingredients, so there's no sense in betting your health on something that's completely unregulated and unproven--not to mention, overpriced.
If I were you, I wouldn't go near this stuff. Instead, I'd either see a qualified Chinese medicine specialist/herbalist who compounded their own herbs (vs. selling a pre-made product w/ unknown ingredients), or get a prescription for an ED medicine from a doctor.
