Dave,

I sent am e-mail request to that copy cat company in Indonesia.

According to them the materials are all obtained in the USA and the actual product is assembled in Indonesia.

They claim that the effective ingredient in the MUSE copy is "aphrostadil" "chemically identical to prostaglandin E1(PGE1)"

My gut feeling is that the entire thing is a scam and someone is going to make a lot of money thinking they are going to get the real thing. Here is a copy of the e-mail I received:
