Tribulus Alatus in Thermolife T-BOL

Never heard of this before.



Tribulus Alatus:


Tribulus Terrestris was used successfully for years in many successful test-boosting products such us Tribosten and Thermolife was proud to be the first company to isolate the active protodioscin from Tribulus Terrestris and develop a standard for it. However progress moves on and better compounds are always found. So we are proud to introduce to the world the successor of Tribulus Terrestris, Tribulus Alatus, exclusive and patent pending to Thermolife International. A plant with many beneficial medicinal properties, such as hypoglycemic and hypolipidemic(1) , Tribulus Alatus is not only rich in Saponins found also in Tribulus Terrestris but also contains 6 novel steroidal saponins which S.A.R. research shows them to be much, much more potent than those found in Tribulus Terrestris(2). Not only that, but a study on rats treated with Tribulus Alatus fruit extract (same kind of extract we use in T-BOL) exhibited an increase of mean free serum testosterone levels of up to 520%!!!(3) This outshines not only Tribulus Terrestris but any natural compound used for testosterone increase and tested on rats.

I would have liked to see some higher dosses on some of the actives but I'll give it a shot.

Wonder how this compares to Triblosin. Also the dose seems awful low.

Tribulus products always seem to be way underdosed and way overpriced. Trib always has had mixed reviews, some people like it some don't. Most studies done with tribulus involve rats, as opposed to humans so take it with a grain of salt, doesn't seem worth the $$ for a questionable product.

All the actives on T-Bol seem REALLY REALLY low, I mean what is a 100mg of this new Tribulus really going to do for you?

SAN endotest is not under-dosed....for a trib product. I'd take it over this any day. Better yet, stick to isht that works, like icariin and nettle.

i love how you say an ingredient never used before in the BB community can already be underdosed before it even reaches the market. Bane put plenty of time in working with dosing, synergy, testing and retesting, quality, sourcing, etc so it is fine to speculate, but dont knock it until you try it bro. it should be for sale at major retailers like nutraplanet in the next short weeks.

nettle is included in our product, and i have read contradicting articles about horny goat weed although the extract of icariin from it constantly gets stronger and looks better each time. i think it has good potential but at the time and sourcing, Bane felt there were better options. here is what he had to say about horny goat weed as a whole, "Like most ingredients that have been discussed so far, horny goatweed has been used for centuries in tradition medicine. It has been rumored to be an aphrodisiac and it has been suggested that these effects could be from testosterone boost or hormone balancing effects. A study that was done in rabbits suggests that horny goatweed supplementation helps to relax the corpus cavernosum and may have potential for helping people who suffer from erectile dysfunction (24). Although it shows promise for this use, there are no studies and no data to suggest that it has any effects on testosterone levels, and it actually has estrogenic activity (25). Like most of the ingredients discussed here, the minimal aphrodisiac effects that may be seen are from non hormonal mechanisms (no testosterone boosting, which is what we want for muscle building), and most of them do not have any positive documented effects for boosting sex drive."

multitargets on nitric oxide/cyclic guanosine monophosphate signaling pathway.? Int J Impot Res., 18(4), (2006): Pages 335-42.

since icariin has evolved and has gotten stronger, i think it would be a potent stack to use bulk icariin with T-bol..actually may have to try that soon but the product works great solo.

i would post the full writeup of the product which explains a lot and gives details behind each ingredient, as well as why we didnt go with other popular ingredents but since we are no longer sponsors here i do not want to step on any other company sponsor's toes or break any rules. also, we can not do any giveaways here to let you guys try the product and get some feedback so please do not ask. you are more than welcome to purchase the product when it comes out at nutraplanet and review it yourself though. thanks guys, hope you understand.

From my experiences, I'd say T-Bol is a kick ass product.

Hey, does it finally live up to claims of being better than d-bol. Oh, no, wait, that was ecdysterones that did that. Maybe one day they will find the right species of trib or even ecdy that will deliver on some of the promises of yore. Perhaps T-bol is that product but most aren't holding their collective breaths.
