Thread: Tribulus effective?

"there is no conclusive evidence that tribulus enhances muscle growth or strength"

I like the product, and Biotest's Tribex has been independently tested, so that is the brand I trust.

As far as gaining muscle and strength from it, I dunno....try it yourself and see.

I think it does work from a sexual standpoint by elevating LH and serum T levels, but not sure from a bodybuilding stand point. I would also say that it will probably work better on someone older (30's) than a younger male.

Tribulus does work for younger males, I tried it a while ago and I liked it. People say that it helps you with concentration when working out but you get some insane popups. It increases testosterone levels naturally, testosterone leads to muscle growth. So that right there is a key element to bodybuilding(testosterone).

The game

thats what i thought. tribulus has no proof of increasing strength or testosterone levels in that fact. The game what you read about ecdysterone and or tribulus even methoxy are mainly marketing scams, there are no scientific or medical proof other than what the advertizing companies say. Prince: Biotest? how could you put your faith in such a company? ;(.

That's not what I said!

There is no proof that it will increase muscle mass and strength. However, it will temporarily raise LH and serum T levels. But, does it raise them enough, and or long enough, to be anabolic is what has yet to be proven.

well prince... im a person who goes after evidence or chemical scientific reason to judge by its uses. Up to now the only perk i from people who have used tribulus is that there libido is increased and thats about it. i think ZMA is more effective than methoxy or ecdysterone, and even tribulus.

That's your call, I really do not care either way, I do not sell supplements!

I was just trying to present the info I know of.

Science is wonderful, but what matters is the real world...Tribulis has worked for some of my clients and has done nothing for others. People are different and will react differently to the same substances in the same quantities. I've seen guys use the tiniest amount of steroids and blow up, while others can use tons and barely grow. These discrepencies are even more pronounced for OTC supps.

ive been taking tribex, and i love the stuff....i def feel it
