Know Your Bodybuilding Supplements - Tribulus

Foreword: I used Tribulus quite a bit over the 20 years I have been training. While most of the evidence to it’s benefits is anecdotal, I have always experienced good results with Trib, mostly in the form of an overall feeling of well being and energy.

It is a relatively inexpensive supplement and I highly recommend giving it a try for about 60 days to truly notice its effect, both on your workouts and your sexual drive and potency.

About Tribulus
Tribulus terrestris is a herb that comes from a plant found in Asia. It has been used in the past by many cultures for the treatment of liver, kidney and cardiovascular diseases. It has also been used as a diuretic and to treat infertility. In recent years strength athletes in Eastern Europe are reputed to have used it to enhance performance.

It is believed to enhance testosterone levels by encouraging the production of lutenizing hormone. Studies have shown that when lutenizing hormone levels are increased, the natural production of testosterone also increases.
It is difficult to assess the validity of tribulus as a muscle growth enhancer because none of the studies carried out have appeared in peer-reviewed scientific journals. Its proponents do suggest that it can prove useful when stacked with 100 mg of DHEA and 100 mg of androstenedione.

If you do wish to experiment with tribulus you can take 750-1250 mg per day divided between meals. Some people experience stomach upsets but this can be minimized by taking it with food. There's no guarantee that tribulus terrestris will help you grow bigger muscles but many users report a much improved sex drive!
