Tribulus Terrestris

Lately, there has been a great deal of emphasis on so-called testosterone "boosters". Two supplements that have received the most attention in this area are Androstenedione and DHEA. These supplements claim to raise the level of testosterone in one's body by providing the raw materials needed for the production of testosterone.

Another not so well-known supplement that falls in this category is Tribulus Terrestris. Tribulus Terrestris is a Bulgarian phrase meaning "puncture vine". Tribulus grows naturally in many parts of the world and flourishes in moderate to tropical climates. Tribulus has been used for centuries as a "folk medicine" in Bulgaria and the Balkan countries. It has traditionally been used to boost libido and to treat infertility.

Similarities can be drawn between the testosterone enhancing effects of Tribulus and other supplements such as Androstenedione or DHEA. However, Tribulus does not work by the same means. Androstenedione and DHEA are produced in the adrenal gland and in the testes and ovaries, and are quickly converted into testosterone. Tribulus, on the other hand, raises the body's level of Luteinizing Hormone (LH). LH is used by the body to stimulate the production of testosterone.

Many studies have documented the effect of Tribulus on body's production of LH and its connection to the production of testosterone. One study was conducted involving individuals supplementing their diet with 750 mg of Tribulus per day. This study measured the bodies hormone levels after regular use of Tribulus. The results revealed that, in males, the LH level increased by 72% and the free testosterone levels increased by 41%! It can be implied that the effects of using Tribulus to boost LH levels along with supplements such as Androstenedione/DHEA to provide your body with the needed precursors for testosterone production could be potent. Such an combination could lead to significant gains in size and strength.
