Tribulus


Would tribulus convert into estrogen or DHT? I know that tribulus is not a prohormone or andro, but wouldn't the producion of any new testosterone convert into DHT or estrogen. I am about to take it and was woundering if I need anything to hinder these effects.BTW What would be a good Trbulius brand?

I dont think it can because it works by increasing your LH, which in turn creates more Testosterone. No conversion to estrogen.

tribulus isn't any of those things if I remember correctly..it's a form of plant sterol similar to testosterone. It's supposed to give you a boost in test but from my own experiences it's pretty much **** other than it makes you in a better mood if you take alot of it. remember though..it's made from a plant..so it's not going to be this amazing testosterone booster because we are not plants.

it doesnt matter that the testosterone is boosted from LH production... the fact is more testosterone will be created as an end result, and all testosterone aromatizes into DHT or Estrogen... both not good, or bad... there are factors that will determine how much aromatization will happen, and how much it will lean towards aromatizing into DHT vs Estrogen...

on the other hand, if it increases LH production, then it sounds like it would be a good tool for sex..??

I dunno, I may be all wrong

Marketing hype. Tribulus is absolutely amazing...FOR MOVING YOUR MONEY TO SOMEONE ELSE'S BANK ACCOUNT.

Diet and exercise are THE best legal test boosters to date.

Trib does work along with some amino acids (think "alpha male") in many supplements and increases blood flow (similar to NOS perhaps). Some of that blood flow just so happens to be to the penis giving better function and sexual response in some men. Therefore the natural (and incorrect) assumption that many make...woohoo...it boosts test. Sorry, doesn't happen.

I don't have the time or inclination to look for the studies to back this up...but if you want to look...google is a wonderful tool. Read them, remembered the important part (keep my money) and promptly forgot where they were at.
