These capsules contain Mpesu Venda powder blended with Umdolofiya, the prickly pear. Mpesu Venda powder comes from the root of the violet tree, which men in Southern Africa have traditionally used for energy, desire and stamina. Capsules are the easiest way to take it, because there is no taste and nothing to mix.
What is in the capsules?
- Mpesu Venda powder (Securidaca longepedunculata root).
- Umdolofiya (prickly pear) powder.
- No added synthetic stimulants.
How to use
- Take 4 capsules once or twice per week with warm water or tea.
- Many men prefer to take them in the morning.
- Do not combine them with other Mpesu products at the same time.
Who it is for
These capsules suit adult men who want a traditional herbal option without the taste of the raw powder. They work best alongside healthy habits such as exercise, good sleep and less alcohol.
Who should not use them
Mpesu is a strong root, and Umdolofiya can lower blood sugar. Therefore, do not use these capsules, or speak to a doctor first, if:
- you are pregnant, trying to conceive or breastfeeding;
- you are under 18;
- you take blood thinners such as warfarin, or you are allergic to aspirin;
- you have stomach ulcers, or kidney or liver disease;
- you take chronic medication for diabetes, blood pressure or a heart condition.
