Latest On Tribulus

Why we rate Tribulus as a leading NATURAL steroid and 100% legal.

Tribulus seems to work by increasing the levels of luteinizing hormone, which signals the body to start producing its own natural testosterone. This leads to increased libido and increased muscle mass, among other things. While tribulus has no known side effects in humans, there is some evidence that the plant can be toxic to livestock. The plant also can provoke photodermatitis.

Precautions
Not for persons with stomach inflammation, ulcers, serious digestion or liver disorders. May cause gastro-intestinal upset.

The reasons for all of this are that somehow tribulus terrestris increases testosterone levels by increasing luteininzing hormone (LH) levels. LH is the hormone that signals the body to start making natural testosterone. There is a study involving individuals taking 750 mg per day of tribulus terrestris. It showed that LH increased from 14.38 ml/U/ml to 24.75 ml/U/ml (which is a 72% increase in LH). Free testosterone went from 60 ng/dl to 84.5 ng/dl (which is an increase of 41%). These increases in testosterone are why bodybuilders have interest in using this supplement. They have been experiencing increases in muscle size, stamina, and strength.

I'd like to see you cite an actual study. If you search pubmed, you'll find that every study done on tribulus shows that it DOES NOT raise or lower any hormone whatsoever. What it does do is increase NO synthesis which can lead to libido increase. People have mistakenly assumed that this libido increase was because of an increase in testosterone.
