I have read in a few different places to not take longer than 8 weeks without takeing a couple weeks off. anybody know about this or is this BS kinda like the creatine cycling thing was back in the day?
I had this same question a few days ago on my mind. Rite now im using a tribulus from trueprotein.com and according to the owner @trueprotein, he claims that you do not need to cycle thier tribulus. By the way, what type of trib are you using rite now and are you noticing any effect thus far?? I added tribulus to my pct and im takin like 5 grams a day, supposedly this trib is extracted to 90% furostanol saponins.I have read in a few different places to not take longer than 8 weeks without takeing a couple weeks off. anybody know about this or is this BS kinda like the creatine cycling thing was back in the day?
If it works like I think it probably does (DHEA) it would be cheaper to just take DHEA...but thats another can of worms I'm not about to open on this boardI don't know what you're talking about Jay. Even primo tribulus is relatively cheap.
Use an extract with 15-20% protodiocin. Most tribulus has much less, and therefore doesn't do much.
I can't really address the cycling question. (I basically cycle everything.)
I must be misinformed. I didn't think it worked like DHEA at all.
Definately am not taking it that way. Discussion is healthy!Please don't take my disagreement as a flame. I just don't get it.
It could be suppresive if it has direct steroidal actions.I had a guy on another board to stop taking tribulus because it is suppresive????/ WTF?
I have never heard this any of you?
please explainIt could be suppresive if it has direct steroidal actions.
This is the really simple version. The Leydig cells in your testis make testosterone in response to LH released by the pituitary in response to GnRH fromt he hypothalamus. The hypothalamus decides how much GnRH to secrete based on blood levels of certain hormones. If you have a substance that acts like a steroid (like AAS) then it will interact at the hypothalamus and shut production down. In the case of AAS this is fine because you are pumping very potent androgens in so your body's production has little importance. In the case of trib the potency of any possible steroidal actions would be very low or everyone and their dog would be taking tribulus and getting yoked. Or, even worse case scenario, trib could aramotize to an estrogen which would also be suppressive to endogenous test production so you'd have higher estrogen lower test. Lots of things to consider.please explain
Libido is kinda like IBS. Strong psychological component so sometimes placebo effect can be as potent as pharm effects. Not saying this is the case but could be.T-Bone - I don't think that's the consensus. What I've seen expressed on forums is that even those who think it's worthless for weight training still think it affects libido.
JayMc - OK, I think I see you're line of thinking, but in the end I feel those studies are mostly inconclusive, especially due to the dosing. I mean I even just saw some magazine ad where it said to take 2g per day, so I'm not the only one who thinks this about dosing.
I'm really just saying the evidence is inconclusive either way.I can't argue about higher dosing because there is only anecdotal evidence supporting this.
HOw do you like the trib from true protein? Can you compare it to any others you have tried?I had this same question a few days ago on my mind. Rite now im using a tribulus from trueprotein.com and according to the owner @trueprotein, he claims that you do not need to cycle thier tribulus. By the way, what type of trib are you using rite now and are you noticing any effect thus far??
