CLOMID OR TRIBULUS

There's a lot of things that are responsible for an increase in libido besides just testosterone. DHT and estrogen also increase libibdo and energy. My point is that there just isn't enough hard research to back up the claim that tribulus is any benefit. There are also theories that tribulus acts as a precursor to DHEA. Which is a precursor to test and estrodiol, which if true, would mean that tribulus is giving you an exogenous boost of hormones rather than an endogenous one, which would defeat the purpose of using it for pct. Best to just stick with what is proven.

Estrogen hey? that explains about 7weeks off my cycle i increased the tribulus to 15 grams per day. After the first day of that, next morning was experiencing sore nipples and lums. It elevated LH in my body all of the sudden. I started nolva immediately for 2 weeks. Never had any nipple sorness or gyno before. Was it the elevated estrogen bro that did it? I asked my bro that juices for years he said I probably had left over estrogen in my system & their was an imbalance! Now I'm o.k.

Well, if you were using trib for pct, then your body probably had high levels of estrogen and low levels of testosterone, since you weren't using the correct ancillaries like nolva or clomid. I doubt it was the trib, but it is possible. But whether or not it elevated your LH levels naturally or if it converted to dhea and then to androstenedione is not for certain.

I just ran a 3 weeks of tribulus for the heck of it thought it may boost me up a little as I had used for years and had great success, and had responded to a post this week about the supplement and how I thought it worked well. However I must admit that this was the first time that it has never done anything for me. I am very dissapointed. I take HRT and an antiestrogen and perhaps that is the reason now, I really dont know but I have to take back what I had said in my previous post on how I thought it was worthwhile. Just my recent experience.
