    If my brain is functioning correctly today I'd say no. I believe you're at risk when your test levels are depleted and your estroegen levels are up; thus taking a trib product wouldn't induce such a thing.

    *If I am wrong somebody correct me......................(I'm sure I didn't have to ask)

    I have gone through many threads here, and the concesus is that Trib alone is worthless.

    Everyone recommends Anabolic Matrix. However, I can't afford to pay 25 bucks for only 10 days....

    And the Tribulus terrestris and blend is only like 8 bucks for a small bottle at the drugstore, but you get like 600 caps. Much better price
    But according to the threads I read, by itself won't do shit.

    SOmeone correct me if I'm wrong.

    Isn't testosterone a precurser for estrogen? So if you test levels went up couldn't it be possible for more of it to get converted to estrogen?

    i am not saying you are wrong by stating that tribulus does nothing, It is a natural way to tell your body to create more test. I took tribulus for a 5week cycle and noticed big differences. My attitude changed, weights went up and gained more muscle. Granted this was at a much less rate then any anabolic, however, i feel it is a great supplement to start on. I will also be supplementing with nolvadex and tribulus on my PCT.

    Did you take just regular Trib. alone? Or was it a supplement like Anabolix-matrix that has others in it?
    I'm seriously considering getting it.
    Its really cheap at the local drug store.
    But all it has is Trib terrestis blend.

    Thanks for the input man.

    I've been taking regular Tribulus, without any other ingredients, and I've noticed a difference. I have been taking the regular supps (protein, multi, EFA's, and AAKG) for about 6 months, but have started supplementing Tribulus. I have been burning off more fat & starting to see more muscle development, however, not tremendous muscle gains.

    I'm switching to Trib w/ Avena Sativa in the next week or so, to see how that works. No offense Rob, but I can't afford your Anabolic Matrix, although I would love to. Any discounts or free samples?

    If tribulus does actually work as a test booster and you are suceptible to gyno then yes, it can lead to gyno. High test levels can convert to estrogen which can lead to gyno. doesn't necessarily mean you will get gyno, that is pretty much determined by genetics. I have no idea as to the effectiveness of trib as a test booster. Most studies say no, but apparently they used poor extracts or some shit.
    If sense were common, everyone would have it.

    if "some shit"=AAS without letro or arim. then yeah. And you know that darn well, TP you foolbird.

    However, I am told that you should have some nolva on hand if you decide to cycle fecal matter, as it aromatizes pretty readily.

    tribulous doesnt boost test, so there is no way to get gyno from it. if you are super paranoid (apparently) pick up an ai.

    Thomas Incledon - Tribulus terrestris

    This is a scientific study and it basically says trib does not work. Read for yourself. I am not sure how credible it really is, but it seems pretty legit.

    Trib has been said to aggravate gyno in people who have already had previous issues. There are conflicting research on the efficacy of trib, bu tthe anecdotal evidence would suggest that it is a definite possibility. I guess the best way to determine it is to cease use and see if something changes. I highly doubt you would get gyno from only using trib.

    I know - I find that remarkable, seeing as there isn't a single study on humans that demonstrates this claimed effect.

    It can help rats and middle-aged men get stiffies, though.
    Wondering where to start? Confused? "Homework 1" will get you started.

    Think you're ready for the "next step"? Take this test.

    Try 6oxo at max dosage for 4 weeks. It's not a bad stand-alone and can help with anti-estro.

    Tribulus works...... Ive tested it myself for a few months. I was taking "Vitrix" as well, just like the guy in this post said..thats how i found this blog by looking for its reviews. I have a super sensitive system though and everything i take can be felt right away. I even feel basic vitamins and minerals right away, their effect on my body or brain. Vitrix has about 1000 mg of Trib. which might actually have been more than enough for me. After starting the cycle..it took me about 3 days with one pill every day for the collosal effects to happen. After about a week, i went from a ten minute workout (im very mushy and lazy normally so just the thought of working out makes me wanna not) to a 2 hour+ workout of course with short breaks in between. This couldnt have happened without the pills and i immediately knew that it was the testosterone level that was elevated. Not only did my workouts inprove but also my state of mind and my social life. I was typically in a better mood, i dont know if it was the extra herbs they put in or the testosterone. It didnt do much for my sex drive..sometimes it actually did worse but thats ok. It was mostly the urge to have sex that improved, not the penis itself. The problems i noticed after two or three weeks was that i was drinking water like crazy. I think i was drinking like six or seven poland spring bottles a day(the 12oz). I also noticed a massive increase in appetite..mostly for meat. Im guessing for protein. I would crave meat all day. My body temperature was always high and i was sweating a lot even after doing the smallest things..like getting dressed.I stopped taking the pills after three months because i had forgotten how it was without them and all of the sudden my nipple area started to hurt. They have been hurting for two weeks, so now im taking DIM plus and Vitex to see if the problem goes away, if it doesnt then ill go see a doctor, which im pretty sure has no idea about any of these supplements. Theyre all full of b.s. and theyre quick to give you chemicals for the smallest things, so i dont trust doctors and the pharm. business as well.

    When i read about people talking about tribulus and they have no idea, or it didnt work for them, it makes me wanna laugh.

    Try Testosterone Conversion Factor-1 for 24 days at 29.99

    It's tried, true, and proven.

    PS -- (stack with erase if you are concerned with slight aromatization)
