Pueraria lobata

I was comparing different Tribulus products and found one manufactured by Universal Nutrition which claimed to be the only product in the market with “Pueraria lobata” which is supposed to convert estrogen to testosterone and increase T levels. I did some research and found some information at www.fs.fed.us. Basically it is a common ornamental climber plant rich in protein and phosphorus but I haven’t found a single study regarding T-levels. Does anyone know anything about this herb or whatever it is. The product seems otherwise okay but this claim catched my interest. Btw If someone knows a biotest reseller in Finland I would really want to hear about it.

Estrogen CANNOT be converted to testosterone.

Well, hypothetically, some very complex chemical synethesis procedure, which would probably have to involve breaking the estrogen down into tiny pieces like ethanol and then re-assembling into testosterone, might be possible, but biochemically it’s not possible. You can’t restore the 19 methyl, nor can you reverse the aromatization of the A ring.
