HI John.
Welcome to HCM.
Nano leo Capsule is a herbal preparation used for treating sexual dysfunction. It does not contain any steroid as you have read as it is made of herbal extracts , zinc and L-arginine.
The function of Nano leo capsules is to boost the production of sex steroids( The regular steroids we often speak of are cortico steroids which should be taken carefully) like Testosterone and estrogen. The sex steroids do not effect the heart as much as the cortico steroids do.Hence dont worry about it.
Coming to the its effect on heart. I am sorry to say that as it is a herbal product and there are no studies done to assess its effects on heart especially in hypertensives or people with cardiovascular problems.

In case if you dont have any Cardiac problem and you general health status is normal ( which i assme you are) , then there should be no problem.

But as it is a herbal product it might cause allergy in few people. So please stop in case if you experience any.
Hope you are satisfied and your doubt is cleared.

Regards
