Mentalk Candy - Sweet Poison?

Mentalk Candy - Elixir of youth for the testosterone-charged?
Surprisingly these unassuming, high-profile, and much sought after candy has generated ripples of uproar recently, when the Singapore health officials issued a warning (read that HERE) to the public to stop consuming these "candies" after the discovery of a dangerous substance found in the product.

Two solitary candies basking in the limelight ... but not for long. Or ever again.

Aminotadalafil, an analog of tadalafil, or widely known as Cialis, is a substance or drug to treat impotence in men, and harmful if ingested without healthcare professionals' advice. Fatality may ensued if taken inapproriately or overdosage, or when together with interacting ingredients.

Semua Orang Cakap Hebat? Yeah, "right" ...

The product is marketed through the internet, direct-selling companies, and vendors everywhere. Price ranging from RM4 - RM7 (or more) per candy. Yeah, paying a premium price for a product that may threaten one's health. How rationale is that?

Subsequently, Malaysia's very own Health Ministry issued OUR warning (read it HERE) to persuade the public not to buy those candies, and report to the authority (that will be US) if this product is available in the market.

Remember, you're doing the nation and the younger generation (admit it, how does a child differentiate a harmless candy with one that contains poison?) a world of good by doing your part. Assist us in our job, in order for us to help the community.

yeah, but don't get duped.
never trust candies/coffee/medicines that boast of special virility-boosting properties. trust your doctors and pharmacists.

Hey guys! Thanks for your post on Mentalk. Some months ago, I had this patient approaching us with samples of this thingamajig. He claimed to have migraines after every dose but for obvious reasons had not stopped these happy sweets. We were also impressed with their 'authentic' certs. Keep up with the posts..it'd help non-penguatkuasa folks like us stay in the know..;)
