Im not sure if anybody knows about this or not it might have already been a thread but i guess tribulus terrestris which is the main ingredient in your test boosting pills does no such thing. Scientists did multiple studies that proves that this herb is only a herb and does not have any affect on your testosterone or strength levels what so ever. I was wondering if these pills even have a point to them anymore if anybody knows anything else about this please let me know and add more if what i am saying is true so people don't waste anymore money. (i read this in September's issue of muscular development)

Hey buddy i have used tribulus and found that i did get some good gains from using it. I didnt notice straight away but after 2-3weeks i started noticing some results. Allot of bodybuilders here in aus use tribulus after coming of steriod cycles to restore natural testosterone levels although its not as good as clomoid or nolvadex its reasy to get your hands on.
You could try alpha male tables which are also good or you can use axis HT made by BSN ronnie colemans range that stuff is awesome i noticed more results using the bsn beand rather than the wildbull brand i used.
hope that helps you out a bit

yea i know alot of people who said they have made awsome gains from it too but i just wanted to see if maybe anybody else heard about this and if anyone else beleive it or whatever but thanks for the reply

It increases testosterone, and I heard that anything that raises testosterone can make your hair fall out. I would be careful about anything that manipulates hormones. I plan on being a natural bodybuilder.

i have read the same a while back....not proven to boost testosterone.... maybe it would work well in conjuction with something else....heard it was a good dieretic though

i have used it for a while.... i didnt notice anything

I am doing a research paper on natural testosterone boosters. I have done a clean blood testosterone count already, in a months time I will do another test after taking a month of terrus. Then some more tests on other natural test boosters after that.

There are 3 ways to raise testosterone naturally and 3 products you can buy for each method.

1. Raise testosterone like with the terrus herb
2. Free bound testosterone but have the same total amount just more free testosterone.
3. Make the recepters to testosterone more sensitive, but total amount stays the same.

After I write up my paper I will post the results here in a seperate thread, the full report will be in about 3 to 6 months.

After I get the result from the terrus herb I will post under this thread in a month or so's time.

I am doing a seperate paper on human growth hormone. There are natural ways to raise it without any side effects. I have to go to a seperate lab for those as they are more specialist than the lab I use for the testosterone research.

awesome post ^^^ cant wait to see the results of your studies!

this is what i got:
Tribulus boosts testosterone levels, which along with octacosanol enhances the firing of nerve fibres that control muscle contraction to boost its force.

i have never used a Tribulus but it seems like a legit supplement

Finally i see other people using trib. its a good supplement, i think it activates your test levels a bit more then normal. Its only a herb found in plants and takes a while to break down. i have only been using tribulus ass a supplement and i gained 10kg in about 4 months. good gains

[arcangel]

I think the main advantage of Trib is there are no side effects, so even if there were only a small gain or even none at all, there will not be the serious issues roids can have, also Trib is cheap, especially if you wait for the discount days, 3 months supply is about 20 dollars.

I found when using it I felt my spirits were raised and I felt happier, which is a common side effect of higher test. Even if it just makes you feel good, it might be worth using lol

The only 2 products I can say I really felt a differece when using were the all in one cyclone, probably because of the creatine, and casein protein a night time drink. Casein takes 6 hours or more to digest so gives you protein throught the night.

[under construction]

lots of the guys here will tell you this at 18 you dont need anything but food and protein and possibly creatine. I have read a few reports on trib half one way and half the other usually when the reports run this way the gains wind up being from a placebo effect but I cant say for sure. If I were you I would quit but thats just me. Hopefully Team orbit will weigh in on this for you he is in the industry and can aside from Arcangel give you the best insight.

[arcangel]

One thing to note is that the side effects to roids are due to the test,GH and others coming from an external source. Even homone replacement theropy (HRT) for men,at age 40 plus, can have the roids side effects, because its given externally, usually by injection.

Natural stuff like terrus, makes the body produce more test, so the test is not from an external source, this is why there are no side effects. Mind you, the extra levels of test from terrus might be low. The way it works however is at least safe. Best to buy terrus or any other herb from a large company like GNC. A website with a hotmail address could be selling anything.

i love TT it worked really good for me. i think its just like any other lifting related thing. sometimes it helps people. sometimes its not for you. but i loved it and im actually getting more next week heh. i just found that i couldnt stay on it for more than a month.

[arcangel]

Yes TT you have to cycle. Not that its unheathy after a month, just your body gets used to it. I think the cycle is 4 weeks on 2 weeks off. Or use when there is a special offer on, and rest when its full price hehe
