Brief Answer:
Its stimulates cardiovascular system
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
The major side effects are perceived to be from caffeine in it. Other active "herbal" ingredients are taurine, guarana, and L-carnitine. Caffeine is known to stimulate CVS and cause high blood pressure, heart problems and heart arrest. It can also cause hypokalemia and myopathy. taurine, guarana, and L-carnitine are lesser known and researched and may have un-foreseen side effects. Taurine is known to badly affect brain function.
Having said that, there is evidence to suggest bad effect of caffiene on cholesterol.
I could not find any medical research on its effect on sperm count and side effect of erectile dysfunction.
Hope it helps. Let me know if I can assist you further.
