Is it SAFE to take it as an 18 year old. Im quite confident my testosterone levels are a little low. Anyways is it safe and will my levels go to normal after taking it? thanx
no. you’re still growing - you’ve got a lot of years before your t levels will be in jeopardy. if you are really concerned, get a blood test to determine levels. and adjust your diet to higher overall fat levels.
i tried to take a blood test they wouldnt let me. Im not taking it because my t-levels are low (i dont even have sideburns lol) but seems to be a good weightlifting supplement.
If you did choose to take it it wouldn’t hurt you. Tribex is not a prohormone so it doesn’t work the same way as a prohormone.
There’s absolutely no danger in someone your age using Tribex. In fact, if I recall correctly, there was a study done by Joey Antonio with college athletes at the University of Nebraska using Tribex.
Anyone who claims otherwise probably doesn’t really understand how Tribulus terrestris works.
wouldn’t let you take a blood test, that is interesting!
stop thinking you have low t-levels just so you can use Tribex… get a blood test and if you are fine, eat, alot.
I’m 23 and a Tribex user and I’m really satisfied with the results… However at 18, you’re probably overflowing with testosterone, you might just be impatient. I’d take the “eat more” advice. It would be completely safe to use Tribex but you should be fine with just a sufficient protein intake and a good squatting/deadlift regimen. Make sure you’re not neglecting important body parts to train. Read the “money excersizes” article on this site and also be sure to train your back. If you haven’t been doing these excersizes regularly, try it and you’ll see obvious results in 6 weeks.
I doubt it would cause any problems, providing you stuck with normal dosage, but…
…it’s a waste of money right now. You should be training hard, eating like crazy, and getting proper rest and cardio. At your age, you can dial into all the genetic gifts a growing boy has.
You should consider something like this down the line when you have plateau’d or you need a boost for sports performance.
Don’t use this - or anything like it - as a shortcut. Too many people looking for the magic pill. At your age, without a blood test, you have no ability to guess whether you have low test or not. Facial hair is not a decent predictor.
In short, you don’t need it.
I’ll second what’s been said regarding safety: it will be safe for you to use.
However, facial hair or lack thereof is not a good indicator of free or total test. If you really feel the need try to find a doctor to get your test levels checked.
While its true that you probably don’t NEED it right now, if your levels are truly low, it could be beneficial. However, it might be worth arguing that better eating could have a better effect on T levels at your age.
Without your actual hormone levels here, who knows where you stand. If you choose to use it,then yes, it will be safe for you.
But I highly doubt its something you should invest money in.
How long have you been training? What are your current stats? Let’s address the big issues first, before we start talkin about possible unknown T levels.
It is a waste of money right now because of your age, unless you know you have ABNORMALLY low T-Levels, PERIOD.
i been training for 6 months. My bench is 190 5 sets of 5… i went up 40lbs in bench in 6 months. I tried to get t-levels checked… wouldnt let me… Tribex would help with muscle growth correct? Also… would alpha male be a better choice?
i’ve used tribex on and off for the past year (when i was 19) and yes i did notice a little libido increase and it also aggrevated my acne. as for muscle growth, its not gonna give you the same results as a cycle of mag 10 would, but its not gonna hurt either. i say give it a try, makes you feel great.
