Tribulus Terrestris isn't far away from being a "super" herb, but what does it have to do with bodybuilding and health? Why is everyone talking about Tribulus? In bodybuilding, Tribulus is used for its testosterone enhancing properties above anything else, and you'll be pleased to hear that Tribulus Terrestris is NOT a hormone! It raises the level of luteinizing hormones (LH) in your system, which in turn signals your testicles to produce more testosterone. LH is produced by the pituitary gland and it helps to regulate natural testosterone production and serum levels.

Since it is neutral and useful, Tribulus is frequently stacked with prohormone supplements, particularly those containing DHEA, to maximize results. Stacking the two supplements boosts the hormone effect of DHEA, and it also detoxifies the kidneys and urinary tract.

Tribulus has been used since the late '70's in Eastern Europe, and it has long been the secret weapon of bodybuilders in Bulgaria. It is the strongest all-natural herbal alternative to synthetic anabolic hormones. Commonly known as puncture vine or Caltrop fruit, Tribulus is grown in various parts of the world, particularly North and South America, Australia, Europe, the Middle East and Africa. The plant is a weed with burrs that look like goats' heads.

It has been used for centuries in Europe for hormone deficiencies in men and women. It has also been used as a traditional remedy to treat sexual dysfunction and male infertility, before improvements in scientific extraction methods allowed detection of its active ingredient called protodioscin.

A great deal of Tribulus research has been carried out, and every one has shown positive benefits of using it as a supplement. It has nearly no side effects – about one in ten people have linked it with gastrointestinal upsets. Most of this research was done in Eastern Europe in association with a Bulgarian company called Sopharma. One study assessing hormonal reactions used fit persons taking 750 mg/day of Tribulus Terrestris. It discovered a 72% increase in LH in males.

Studies on laboratory animals have shown that besides enhancing male sexual function, Tribulus also has other benefits:

  • Decreases cholesterol levels
  • Lessens triglycerides
  • Has antioxidant properties
  • Diminishes serum glucose levels
  • Helps treat hypertension

Tribulus has increased in popularity in the past decade as a general tonic for male power athletes and bodybuilders who try to build muscle by escalating testosterone production. Because it boosts testosterone levels, but they stay within average ranges, it is a useful supplement for athletes in danger of over training syndrome and for persons on extended low-calorie diets. It is also a safe and natural alternative to anabolic steroids.

The benefits for the bodybuilder are muscle cell growth and improved body strength, as well as quicker healing and recovery from muscular stress, because testosterone helps protein synthesis and positive nitrogen balance. If you are trying to get off steroids, Tribulus can help because it will jump-start your body's natural testosterone production back to normal levels, thus eliminating the usual losses in mass and strength.

Studies have shown over 50% increase in testosterone levels when Tribulus is taken. Since Tribulus is not a hormone supplement, it works within the body's natural limits, helping you attain muscle and strength. In a study done with 20 males and females, 75% of the participants had increased stamina, 80% had increased libido and sexual performance, and 95% of the females reported no PMS symptoms.

Given the typical western diet where the liver is overloaded with sugar and fat, Tribulus is particularly useful. It quickens the bile flow and breakdown of fats in the liver, contributing to a more regular bowel pattern. It can also counteract the narrowing of blood vessels caused by caffeine and nicotine. It has been used for centuries by the Chinese to calm the liver, treat headaches, dizziness and premature ejaculation. It has also been used for the treatment of kidney and cardiovascular diseases.

A Solution to Male Impotence

Increasing numbers of scientific studies have established that herbs can assist impotent men, though these medicinal plants are frequently dismissed as useless. Tribulus is one of the most popular herbs available on the market at present, and more than nine clinical studies done by six universities and academic hospitals on its purified active ingredient protodioscin have confirmed its valuable effect.

Tribulus Terrestris For Female Libido

Feminine sexual complaints keep swelling, and a lot of women do not have strong, powerful sex drives. Many women feel responsible for their reduced sex drives, but this couldn't be further from reality. Chemical imbalances are what really stop you from getting stimulated and taking pleasure in sex. Tribulus Terrestris can be used to correct this.

Tribulus is the secure, gentle way to find or to re-ignite the longing, the thrill and the responses that make sex amazing and gratifying. Touted as the sexual vitality booster for women with all the benefits men have had access to for years, Tribulus is sometimes hailed the "female Viagra."

Tribulus Terrestris is a wonder herb, beneficial to males and females in several ways. Consult your physician, then use it as a supplement, and let it work miracles for you.
