Spanish Fly
Love drops are liquid food supplements in small bottles, most often 15, 20, 30 or 100 ml. This category holds 30 of them, including products with plant extracts and a few fragrance products with pheromones.
Plainly stated: these are foods, not medicines. They do not treat or resolve any condition, and the product names are marketing rather than a description of how anything works.
What these products are
A food supplement is, in law, a food that supplements the ordinary diet. It may contain plant extracts, vitamins or minerals, but it may not be presented as a medicine. The liquid form only describes how it is taken — drops instead of a capsule — and nothing more. Alongside the supplements, this category also holds fragrance products with pheromones, which are applied to the skin and not swallowed.
About the name "Spanish fly"
The name comes from folklore and does not describe what is in the product. What an individual product contains is stated only in its declaration, which lists the ingredients, the recommended daily dose and the warnings. The name on the label is not information; the declaration is.
How to read the declaration
Look for the composition, the recommended daily dose, and the note that a supplement does not replace a balanced diet. Do not exceed the recommended dose. If you take medication, have a chronic condition, are pregnant or are breastfeeding, speak to a doctor or pharmacist before use. These products are not intended for anyone under 18.
