In this case, protodioscin concentration - which basically tells you how powerful the Tribulus may be - depends on where in the world it was harvested, and what part of the plant was used. The highest concentrations tend to come from Turkey, Macedonia and Bulgaria. Materials from India, China and Vietnam have reported significantly lower concentrations.
If Tribulus raises natural testosterone levels, its effects appear to be dose-specific. In other words, the delivery of active protodioscin seems to be effective only within a tight range. Too little or too much, and it doesn't appear to work. The sweet spot seems to be consuming enough Tribulus so you get between 2. Again, ideally, the plant from which the supplement is derived will be sourced from Turkey, Macedonia or Bulgaria. My theory is that if Tribulus increases circulating testosterone, then it probably does so secondary to promoting blood glucose disposal.
I recommend taking Tribulus on an empty stomach with water only or a zero- or very-low-calorie drink. On training days, consume one dose when you wake up in the morning, and another prior to training. On non-training days, consume the second dose mid-day.

Tribulus terrestris extract comes in a standardized formula. Video of the Day. Boosts Strength and Muscle Gain. Tribulus Terrestris is a plant that many simply disregard as a weed, with its yellow, spiked leaves and fruit.
It grows in warmer climates and tropical areas around the world, and has been used in alternative and ancient medicine for many years for a variety of ailments. Tribulus is made from the fruit, leaves, and sometimes the root of the Tribulus Terrestris plant.
Tribulus Terrestris contains many plant-based compounds, called phytochemicals, that work in a variety of different ways. These compounds, such as alkaloids, saponins, flavonoids, steroids, influence the cardiovascular system, immune system, and hormone-production in the body.
The impacts of these compounds vary based on the amount you take, and your diet and exercise routine. It has an adaptogenic effect, making it help keep your body in its ideal balanced state. Although there are a wide range of potential benefits for tribulus based on the compounds it contains, early research supports using tribulus for increasing gonadotropic hormones in both men and women.
Males who took tribulus in a research study showed increased levels of testosterone. Women who are pregnant or breastfeeding should avoid tribulus to make sure it does not impact their hormone levels.
I ate as much watermelon as I could especially the rind. Prior to all of these supplements, I could barely go through the day without severe fibro pain and low energy. My BP was always on the pre-hypertensive side.
I just saw my G. The goal is to come off of it altogether. No booze, no drugs. I can feel my libido slowly improving. I still have hope to turn this thing around or at the very least stop the decline in its tracks. Summer is around the corner, so I will have more opportunity to get outdoors, soak up some sun, get fresh air, and eat fresher foods.
Meunier, it sounds like you have indeed been making some good progress. Do keep me update on how things are going. Hawk clearly needs a supplement that will help him with reading and comprehension.
The study he linked to concluded Tribulus Terrestris not work. I did some research about Tribulus the plant. The plant is a weed, a pest that grows easily in its original habitat in the Mediterranean, and also thrive in very dry regions, including near-desert lands.
Bulgaria is a small country and Mediterranean climate is limited to the Thrace and Macedonia regions. I doubt local production could supply the global demand for this Tribulus extract.
In colder climates, Tribulus is not perennial but annual and this would limit obtaining the extract in great quantities. Perhaps part of the extract is then imported from China or other countries, and encapsulated in Bulgaria? I do not know. However, reliable research about the effects of Tribulus terrestris impact on testosterone production are few. I found out one made in Swizterland. Hence, the short-term treatment with T.
For the sake of giving this wonder product a chance, I am doing a 3 month test. I purchased Tribulus terrestris extract in capsules, mg, from a company in Bulgaria which has indications as being a reliable supplier of the original Bulgarian thing.
I am taking one mg capsule per day. I have a pretty active sport life. Previous to start taking Tribulus I made a testosterone test which indicated my levels were within the normal range but on the lower side of it. I will take the capsules for the next two months and then make a new testosterone test and post here if Tribulus extract worked in my case.
Perhaps Tribulus extract smells like fish food. We know that food used to feed fishes in aquariums or fish farms usually have antibiotics, growth and steroid hormones in it. That could impact into our bodies. For instance, would the steroids and-or growth hormone cause the heart beating issues reported by some? Perhaps somebody can make a research and post here the findings. Question 2 — Does the Tribulus terrestris extract you purchased smell like fish food or not?
Yes No. I will NEVER buy capsuled powders of ANYTHING ever again, as I noticed over the years age 55; been supplementing since age 20 that the potency has almost always been substandard in the case of Tribulus, the saponins have mostly oxidized and dried out already due to exposure to air in the bottle, so they have little to no effect, even with double or triple the normal recommended dose.
So let me say that I used a brand of tribulus that others said worked for them. With that in mind, what you said may be correct about problems with the brand I used. I have no way of knowing either way. I give the company that benefit of the doubt. People say a lot of things on the internet. Some things are true and others maybe not so much. Interestingly, the email address you listed when you left your comment looked a little spammy-like to me. When I googled that address, nothing showed up for it on the web.
Is it a true email or not? Zero effect from what I can tell. Arginine is in powdered form while the other is capsule very expensive too…could have refilled a Viagra prescription for what they cost together.
Of course, it takes more than just supplements to feel better. Sleep, exercise and nutrition work hand in hand. I hope it works for you. Amen to those other things too! Prior to my heart attack, there were subtle signs my libido was waning, and things got really bad about 6 months ago.
So, I was on a quest to find something that would help with my recent ED and low libido. I tried Ginseng two types with no positive effect. I also included zinc. I tried Maca for awhile, with no real sign of improvement. So I stopped that cold turkey. It only lasted for about 10 minutes, but was encouraging, to say the least. I monitor my blood pressure closely and it has been fantastic for the past few months, maybe even better than before.
No skipped beats, which I used to have regularly before I ever started using supplements. The bottle suggests taking 5 capsules a day, but I started off only with two. Then a week later, I upped it to three a day. I plan on taking tribulus for at least another six weeks or longer. If you are not doing any aerobic exercise, like walking, it might help too.
Thanks for your comment and empathy. With respect to walking or aerobics, unfortunately very little of my healthy lifestyle has done anything positive to prevent a litany of acquired illnesses. I walked vigorously 45 minutes twice a day for over two years, and got a heart attack 3 yrs ago. I had 3 stents put in. I also suffer from over a decade of fibromyalgia.
I never eat large portions of meat, avoid cheese, hardly ever use salt. Love fruits and vegetables, and eat salads almost daily. Going to see a specialist urologist in Toronto this week.
I eat plenty of nuts, particularly almonds. Nothing is having much of an effect on me. This is soooo unlike me. Devodude, I can understand how chronic pain might reduce libido. Also Im sure worrying about the issue might also compound the problem although you said psychgenic issues were ruled out. Have you ever tried ribose for fibromyalgia? I linked to my review on it.
