Tribulus Terrestris


Tribulus Terrestris is the name of the vine plant that grows in tropical and moderate climates, basically the hot or at least warm areas of the globe. These areas include the USA, Eastern Europe, Mexico, China or India. Tribulus has been used throughout the centuries to cure anything from sexual problems like erectile dysfunction and premature ejaculation to general health problems such as headaches or migraines.

Tribulus Terrestris is used by athletes and bodybuilders mainly to raise testosterone levels. Tribulus Terrestris is generally thought to support healthy hormone problems by boosting testosterone levels via the stimulation of the anterior pituitary gland. This stimulation then promotes the production and secretion of the leutinising hormone (LH), which in turn leads to increases in unbound, free testosterone levels.

Tribulus contains steroidal flavonoids, saponins and alkaloids but it's in fact the protodioscins content of Tribulus that is believed to be the true culprit of the increased testosterone levels and healthier hormone profile function. Even scientific research that examined Tribulus Terrestris with a standardised level of 20% protodioscins found that the Tribulus was very effective at stimulating testosterone increases in subject studied.

In addition to to stimulating LH and testosterone levels, Tribulus can as I briefly mentioned before, be an effective treatment for male impotence or even female impotence (lack of desire for sex etc.) as well as promoting healthy cholesterol profile and blood pressure. Tribulus Terrestris is an all natural product and studies on humans have shown no side effects whatsoever. Tribulus is safe for use by both women and men.

Believe it or not, large amounts of Tribulus Terrestris were fed to sheep and the resulting impact was toxic but this effect is extremely unlikely to be applicable to normal supplement levels and use in humans.

Tribulus Terrestris is extensively used in many supplements although in small and controlled quantities. The medicinal properties are being exploited by major pharma companies.

Superdrol does carry some liver stress, and although it might be fine for most people, you never know when you have a pre-existing condition or when you might be on a medication that interacts with it. M-Drol is the generic name for the anabolic steroid Superdrol, which is a synthetic illegal substance that will show up on numerous drug tests and also could have the potential to do major bodily harm to people who don’t use it properly.
