For a special treat on Valentine's day, a Kiwi businesswoman is ready to launch the 'aphrodisiac' chocolates that promise to stimulate testosterone production in men.

The aphrodisiac called Tongkat Ali which is a firtified herb from South-East Asia is believed to develop "small but noticeable" aphrodisiac effect, she said.

Previous year saw a similar attempt by Hanna Frederick, a former food scientist. She made headlines by by feeding beer-flavoured chocolate to brewers and deer antler chocolate to meat industry heads at business conventions.

"We are not trying to create a substitute for Viagra," Frederick said. "This is just a bit of passionate fun," she added. She further revealed that the active ingredient, also called Eurycoma Longifolia Jack, takes about three days to reach the peak of its affect, "just perfect for a long weekend", she terms it. AGENCIES
