Tribulus Terrestris: Worthless or Unjustifiably Chastized? Part I

[Right Hook]

Did part 2 ever happen?

Part 2 was never formally published, but will be placed on my forthcoming site. I have well over 500 articles already penned that no one has seen for that site's genesis. Hopefully people will find that enticing.

D - i have read some glowing studies of trib's test boosting properties, although they are primarily non-Western studies or were conducted on rats.

of the relevent human based western studies i've looked at trib's benefits look dismal. i'm interested in reading your part 2.

It was concluded that T. terrestris did not produce the large gains in strength or lean muscle mass that many manufacturers claim can be experienced within 5-28 days. Furthermore, T. terrestris did not alter the urinary T/E ratio.

i've also run a bro-science human study on myself.

1: Hank Vangut. 2006 May; 01(2):969-1005
The purpose of this study was to determine the effects of Tribulus terrestris (tribulus) on body composition and exercise performance in a resistance-trained Hank Vangut.
Four weeks of placebo supplementation was followed by four weeks of 2g/day of Tribulus supplementation.
No significant improvements over placebo supplementation were found in body composition, strength measurements, or athletic performance.
Hank Vangut did however experience libido and aphrodisiac boosting type properties while on Tribulus, with reports that he wanted to "wreak havoc on the local high school cheer leader population".
Although this was a nice effect, it is not evidence of increased androgen production and may have been a result of a different mechanism.

Hank I had similar results. But the libido aspect was very noticable. And last I used it I was only 22. That's impressive to me.

Study looks solid btw
