Tribulus and headaches when lifting?

billyzane1 · 08-17-2004, 10:13 AM

Hi,

I have been taking tribulus about 1000mg and the stuff works good. Unfortunately, I think that it is affectinb my BP. Is that possible? I get severe migraines when lifting since starting it, and it is not due to breathing issues.

garbage.

you cannot sell a high quality Tribulus extract for that price now matter how large of a company you are, the raw material is just too expensive.

Why do you think it works good?

Well I could be wrong, and it could be more the 6oxo, but with the two it seems like I bounce back nicely. The ole boys seem to be like I am 18 again, instead of an sexless shutdown freak that I feel like at the start of PCT.

but what about the headaches? My question still remains.

Tribulus shouldn't cause severe headaches unless you are allergic. Either it is something else in your trib supplement or the headaches are unrelated to that supplement. I am taking high quality trib with no headaches. The only way to find out is to stop taking the trib for a few days and see what happens. It won't hurt your pct one bit.

I've not seen any documented side effects of Tribulus but everyone reacts differently to drugs, herbs and supplements. If you're confident it's the Tribulus just stop using it, it's not worth the hassle.

I find it hard to believe that Tribulus is the supplement causing headaches.

Do you mean the sand or sawdust? Now foods is good for some stuff. I use their dextrose and arginine, and recommend both. These are foods, though. They are as generic as can be--which is why their products are the cheapest on the market. I wouldn't trust them to put together a good performance enhancing supplement. By the way, the arginine taste absolutely awful.

I cap it now.

	- A hardcore bodybuilder is one who thinks that vomiting after the last set of squats is such a waste of protein.
