Vitality Capsules Recalled Nationwide Due to Hidden Drug Risks

On February 20, 2025, One Source Nutrition, Inc. announced a voluntary nationwide recall of all lots of its Vitality Capsules, a male enhancement dietary supplement, after FDA testing revealed the presence of undeclared sildenafil and tadalafil—ingredients found in prescription erectile dysfunction drugs. At Garcia Family Medicine, we’re sharing this update to keep you informed about this serious health concern.
What Happened?
The FDA found that Vitality Capsules, marketed as a dietary supplement, contain sildenafil and tadalafil, both PDE-5 inhibitors used in FDA-approved medications like Viagra and Cialis. These substances aren’t allowed in dietary supplements, making Vitality an unapproved drug with untested safety and effectiveness. The recall, initiated by One Source Nutrition in Benton, Arkansas, affects all product lots distributed nationwide through retail outlets from a wholesale distributor. No adverse events have been reported yet, but the risk is significant enough to act swiftly.
Affected Product
The recalled Vitality Capsules come in a single-pill package with orange and gray coloring and blue text. Notably, the packaging lacks lot numbers or expiration dates. If you’ve purchased this product, identified as a male enhancement supplement, it’s part of this recall—whether from a store shelf or online.
Why It Matters
Using products with hidden sildenafil or tadalafil can be dangerous, especially if you take nitrates (common in medications for diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, or heart disease). These combinations can cause a steep drop in blood pressure, potentially leading to life-threatening consequences. Adult men, the primary users of this supplement, are most at risk—particularly those managing cardiac conditions with nitrate-based treatments.
Recommendations for Consumers
Here’s what you can do if you have Vitality Capsules:
Check Your Supply: Look for the orange and gray single-pill package with blue writing.
Stop Using It: Discontinue use immediately to avoid health risks.
Return or Dispose: Return the product to where you bought it or discard it safely.

For questions, reach them at +1 (501) 778-3311 or onesourcelr@gmail.com , Monday through Friday, 10 AM to 6 PM CST.
