I was checking on the NCAA banned substance list and Nandrosol and Androsol were both banned. So, I look for the next best thing and Tribex is the best legal one to use…The only thing that I am curious about though is even though the substance itself is legal will it cause there to be high enough hormone levels to get me into trouble?
Though I cann’t answer your question with certainy, my experiences with Tribex are that it will boost T in some one in the low normal range to the high normal range. I feel that is why some people seem to have better results than others because if you already have high normal levels of T (such as maybe most teens or people in early 20’s) it won’t boost any higher than the already high normal but myself being in my mid 40’s, my natural level of T has started to decline probably into the low normal range so when I take Tribex, I start to feel like a horny teen again. With me, it seems to boost me from low normal to high normal but after 2 or 3 weeks the body seems to adjust or adapt so I have best results if I cycle Tribex like must other supps with 2 or 3 on and 2 off. i have good luck with vitex or M also which makes me feel more agressive. Vitex suppresses estragen which will also help boost T (actually best of both worlds - lower E and higher T). Tribex and Vitex are great stacked but I feel it just helps optimize natural hormonal level and won’t boost most people beyond an optimal high normal and there for should not effect steriod testing. Just my thoughts though. Also want to add, If training hard, Tribex i feel may aid in recovery as one of the symptoms of over training is depleted T and tribex may help boost T in over training athletes. Just another thought but worth a try.
Tribex would be fine as would MAG-10. Do a search for Bill Roberts and his comments on drug testing and MAG-10.
I wouldn’t use Mag-10 if being tested because even though mag-10 is great, one of the 2 ingrediants is the same ingrediant in the banned androsol (4AD) so with mag-10 you would test positive for 4AD.
But do they test for 4-AD? No. It’s like with creatine. It may be on a banned list, but can they test for it? I don’t think so. After all, are they going to make you stop eating meat, the natural source of creatine? They put some of this stuff on banned list to cover their asses, but can’t test for a lot of it. Same with caffeine I think. Correct me if I’m wrong.
What’s the best way you have found for stacking Tribex and vitex? Do you take both together for 3 weeks or take the vitex while cycling off the Tribex??
I tried “just” Vitex (the herb) a while ago and it did nothing, but M (Vitex is one of four ingrediants in this product) has produced very visible results. This may be because I may have had high T AND E levels already (Vitex can raise T by inhibiting prolactin thus increasing LH, while the other ingrediants in M have been shown to block estrogen in various ways) or it may be that the Vitex I used was just no good (I think it was by Solaray?). Tribex made me hard 24/7 but I didn’t notice much else. Just my experience.
