Hey guys!
I’ve been reading alot about tribulus lately, but I’ve never been able to figure out the answer to one question: After I stop taking tribulus, will my T-levels stay high or will they drop back? Could someone please explain this to me! I’d also appreciate a complete description of tribulus and its effects (side effects) on the human body. Or does anybody know a good reference side?
Holla at everybody that’s out there working his or her body as hard as I do!!!
playgrounder, I looked at your User Profile and it said that you were a student, so I’m guessing you’re in your 20s.
Tribulus (one of the active ingredients in Tribex) is most effective for men who:
Are above the age of 35-40.
Have lower than average T levels.
Are under high amounts of mental or physical stress and who have high cortisol levels.
Are working (or working out) exceedingly hard (which also results in high cortisol levels).
If you don’t fall into one of those categories, Tribex or tribulus is unlikely to do you much good.
The quality of tribulus terrestris products can vary dramatically in effectiveness, so at least be aware of that.
As far as Tribex is concerned, it will raise T levels to the high end of normal FOR YOU (if you fall into one of the categories above), and yes, upon cessation, T levels will return to normal FOR YOU.
If you have any other questions, I’d suggest that you give Biotest Customer Service a call.
I’m a student but according to my blood tests I have extremely low T- levels! Therefore I contemplated about taking tribulus to raise them. But if its effects are not persisting for a longer time then I’ll rethink over my decision! Are there any other ways to increase my t-levels!
playgrounder, a lot of things stop working once you stop doing them or stop taking them. Examples: Working out to improve physique, eating to maintain a certain weight, taking Tribex to increase T levels.
If it works, I’d prefer to see T levels enhanced and supported with Tribex over taking supplemental T, which will probably result in your body shutting down production of T even further!!
However, if you want to experiment, start studying the relationship between cortisol and testosterone. They’re both made from the same parent hormone. The more you make of one, the less there is for the other. My advice would be to look for ways to reduce cortisol, which should result in somewhat of an increase in T.
My advice, however, does not constitute medical advice. I would really suggest that you work with your doctor on raising your T levels.
Cycle on and off the following supps. year round, all will raise test. The body will adapt to any substance after a couple of weeks so you may want to try 2 weeks on one off and then rotate to the next herb or have one overlapping week.
If thay are that low talk to doc about geting you some T. But even that you will have to take on a regular basis. No supplement is going to keep them up once you discontinue use.
The Tribex will help a great deal. Another thing to look at is your diet. Are you getting enough fat, and the right kinds. Are you strictly restricting sat. fats. Fats play a huge role in your hormone levels and sat. fats in particular play a huge role in your T levels if you consistantly restrict you consumption.
Give the tribex a go, and give your diet a look. Just my 2 cc, Hope that helps.
