An energy drink which promises to "naturally" increase sexual performance has been banned in Australia—it's place of origin—after officials discovered that it contained Levitra

The issue with MosKa is that it's a health risk to give someone an erectile dysfunction drug if it hasn't been prescribed to them. Levitra is potentially hazardous for men with heart problems and could send blood pressure plummeting if used in conjunction with other drugs. Alleging that a third party added the drug, the company apologized: 

We are devastated to have found that the overseas OEM supplier for Moska energy for adults had included an undeclared ingredient, Vardenafil (Levitra), within the natural ingredients. Vardenafil (Levitra) is a prescription only substance.

Be on the lookout for those future products, because they're coming.
