    Much diff in Tribulus Terrestris ??

    I just picked up some Kaizen Trib for a post-prohormone cycle, anyone think there's a diff between this brand and others, eg biotest tribex?

    I tried biotest my last cycle, noticed a definite increase in sex drive for about a week, then i seemed to get back to normal (quite the boost initially though ). However, i dont want to keep paying the Biotest price - it's too much. This Kaizen you get a whole bunch more for less money - although without the "avena sativa" portion - i think this is wild oats or something, maybe I'll just chew on a cracker and hope it has the same effect.

    Any comments?

    When it comes to Tribulus quality is extremely important. I have said this before, Biotest Tribex passed independant lab tests and it contains enough saponins to be effective.

    I do not know about Kaizen.

    Tribulis can vary widely in potency depending upon the plant it was taken from, and the time of year it was harvested.

    At this time, I would not stray from Tribestan by Sopharma (the originators), and Tribex by Biotest.

    crap, i was hoping to hear the opposite. i guess i'll consider going back to the expensive stuff, i'm going to give this cheap-o stuff the "wood test" first though

    i find it really hard to buy hype from companies trying to differentiate that are most likely getting all this stuff from the same source or two though - but i do agree in some cases that if you go cheap you get crap

    There really is alot of crap out there. When something is too cheap, that will usually reflect its quality.

    Yes there is a lot of crap out there!

    Everyone's trying to make a buck, most of the time you're better off paying a little more money to ensure quality, providing that you're buying from a reputable company.

    Over here in the UK Trib is not highly rated.

    Any advice, as now I am approaching 40 and have detected a slowdown in the libido department I have been considering purchasing Tribex-500 to help with this (as well as the Body-Building).

    Shame we can't purchase supplements as cheap as in the states. Anyone know of a good supplier with cheap carriage to the UK?

    i live overseas too and i just order through netrition.com - i'm sure they would deliver to the UK as well and you'd save over retail there? i'd REALLY like to order using dpsnutrition.com but they dont take international orders - their prices seem the best, netrition.com is ok though

    i'd give a bottle of tribex a shot. i absolutely 100% for sure felt an increase in my sex drive on it, we're talking i was fine with sex 3x / day - however i think it tapered down after a week or so of this, i cant recall exactly

    i'm trying out a bottle of cheaper stuff right now since i own it, i'll go back to tribex if this stuff sucks - just started it so no comment yet, it's called Kaizen

    Either Tribex or Tribestan are the ones I recommend.

    Twinlab?

    Is Tribulus Fuel any good? The price is good and each tablet contains 625mg. From what I read, you need between 1000-1200 mg/day?

    I wouldn't use it. I don't think Twinlabs source is all that good.

    freag34, cheers for the feedback mate.

    3 x/day eh.. , i think my problem is the life in my woman, not the life in my d***. If your lady was up for it, I'm contemplating emigrating. If it was with different ladies I'm DEFINITELY emigrating.

    respect!

    There are basic exercises and there are basic supplements. pro hormones do not work without protein. Nothing grows without protein.

    Funny side note... I gave my girl 2 caps of tribulus and she got crazy horny! Could have been a mind thing, I dont know? but we sometimes eat a couple if we feel like going off...seems to work! Anyone else notice this? You should try because maybe I am on to something. My girl is 105lbs and I give her 2 caps. Gonna try 3 next time.Works good for me,but not at the gym really!
