Tribulus & gyno?

Is it possible to get gyno from taking Tribulus?

I don't think so, but I'm not 100%.

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.



Write that Down..

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?

I am starting Vitrix and stacking it with ZMA today. I will try to report back with any gains or comments......

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.

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