For the past few months I’ve been taking the supplement Tribulus Terristris, largely because I had read that it was a natural product that could be used to increase your body’s natural production of testosterone and also because I had read that it did not have any side effects.

This understanding of the supplement was recently challenged by my brother who argued that it could cause “bitch tits” and would also increase the levels of estrogen in my system which would naturally cancel out the effect of the increased testosterone.

At first I was slightly worried thinking that maybe I had been duped into this supplement and that perhaps I should have researched it further before trying it out.

In the spirit of being scientific, I had a look on the Journal of Physiology website to see if I could find any papers on Tribulus Terrestris and its’ effects on humans, but they didn’t have any (or at least their search engine didn’t find any).

Not wanting to be defeated, I did a few searches on Google, but could only find forums on other bodybuilding and fitness websites, where from my experience, you only get the opinions of various blow-hards who feel the need to speak their minds and “tell” everyone else how to live their lives.

What I did get was some interesting information (whether or not it’s true) about Tribulus, here is what I learned:

  • Tribulus Terrestris increases the levels of LH (luteinizing hormones) in your body
  • LH stimulates hormone production and secretion
  • LH may aromatize into either estrogen, growth hormone, insulin or testosterone
  • Only really has any positive (testosterone increasing effects) in males with abnormally low testosterone, so if you are already hitting the weights and getting laid, your testosterone levels are probably fine!

From the reading I’ve done, I think I’ve come to the conclusion that it’s probably a waste of time me taking it and I will discontinue taking it. However, if you think that your testosterone levels of abnormally low and you want to get hold of some, please use my other website, DiscountSupplementsGuide.com to find suppliers of cheap Tribulus Terrestris.
