Talking Trib - comments

Hey TtlPkg,

I read your other post stating that you joined a gym after reading on here for awhile. Good for you bro! You won't regret it, I promise.

Okay, so Tribulus Terrestris:

I have been taking Trib 750 from 4EverFit, they are 750mg capsules , 500mg of which is Tribulus, and 250mg of which is Avena Sativa (which I have been told can help naturally produce testosterone in the body as well). A bottle comes with 90 capsules, and I take 3 a day (a months supply).

I just recently also picked up a Trib product called Tribulus Stack by Precision Sports Supplements, which is a much weaker dosage (but I got a bottle of 90 tabs for about 8 dollars US, so I thought it was worth the try). They contain 500 mg of Tribulus, 350mg of Horny Goat Weed, 225mg of Muria Puama, 200mg of Red Ginseng, 25mg of Chrysin, and 20mg of Cordyceps per 2 capsules.

I decided to mix them up.

First thing in the morning, I take 2 of the Tribulus Stack tablets, dosage listed above.

Just after lunch, I take 1 tablet of Trib 750 + 1 tablet of Tribulus Stack. This equals 750mg of Tribulus Terrestris, 325mg of Avena Sativa, 175mg of Horny Goat Weed, 114.5mg of Muira Puama, 100mg of Red Ginseng, 14.5mg of Chrysin & 10mg of Cordyceps.

In the evening (usually about an hour or two after I work out) I take the same as I did in the morning.

Results:

I could notice a marketable difference after about 2 to 3 weeks back when I only used Trib750. I'm not bullshitting you when I say this, but I started to feel like I was 16-18 years old again (I'm currently 33). I felt more energy, stronger, a lot more horny(not that you care), and I noticed that my moods were elevated. I felt more inspired to work out.

I've juiced before, and I'm not trying to make it sound like this was as good as that. But it's a lot better than nothing at all (in my opinion).

My strength went up about 5-10%. I even noticed a difference in my skin, it looked more healthy.

They say to only take this stuff for a month or a month and a half at a time, then take an equal amount of time off of it. The reason is because Tribulus increases your LH (lutanizing hormone), and your lutanizing hormone is what tells your body to produce more testosterone. The fear is that if you take the stuff non-stop, your body will stop producing LH naturally. That would be bad. I usually take the stuff for a month and then go off of it for 2 weeks. Unfortunately the 2 weeks off sucks, and I feel a little down.

Okay, side effects: I have definately found some. 1. The most obvious is that I started getting some acne. Mostly in places nobody would see them besides me (and my wife if I'm having a lucky day). I mean serious acne though. I got a couple of HUGE black super zits on my inner thighs that spooked me out, because I'd never seen anything like them before. Eventually they went away. I also noticed my skin was more oily (these sucked, but at the same time, they made it obvious to me that my testosterone was definately going up!) 2. Erections, and if you are already in your teens or early 20
s it could become embarassing, since you probably already get them often. Your girlfriend might like them though. 3. I wasn't sure if I should put this in the "plus" section, or the side effect, but my appetite is much stronger when I take Trib. Not sure why, I guess just because testosterone is up or something, but I swear, I could eat 2 whole chickens some days. I especially notice it when I've just finished my cardio. I have to eat, and eat a lot.

Hope that helps. If you need more info, I'm sure there are a lot of guys on here that will help you, or you can Private Message me.

Take it easy
