FDA laboratory analysis confirmed that B. Magi contains phenolphthalein, neriifolin and thevetin B not listed on the product label.

Phenolphthalein is a chemical that is not an active ingredient in any approved drug in the U.S. Studies suggest it may increase the risk of cancer.

Neriifolin and thevetin B are found in the yellow oleander (Thevetia peruviana) plant and can cause neurologic, gastrointestinal and cardiovascular adverse health effects that may be severe, or even fatal,

Health care professionals and consumers should report adverse events or side effects related to the use of this product to FDA's MedWatch Safety Information and Adverse Event Reporting Program:

This notification is to inform the public of products potentially marketed as dietary supplements or conventional foods with hidden drug ingredients and chemicals. These products are typically promoted for sexual enhancement, weight loss, pain relief and body building and are often represented as being all natural. Consumers should exercise caution before purchasing these products.

FDA is unable to test and identify all products marketed as dietary supplements that have potentially harmful hidden ingredients.
