Tribulus Terrestris and Testosterone

Tribulus Terrestris is a weed that grows throughout many temperate and tropical climates. It has been used for centuries as an energy booster and to help with male sexual dysfunction. Currently many bodybuilders use it for the same effects as well as to enhance muscle tone. But does Tribulus Terrestris really help you to build muscle?

Scientists are unsure exactly how Tribulus Terrestris works in the body. It is thought that the active ingrediant in T. Terrestris extracts is either the furostanol saponins or its protodioscins. The thought is that Tribulus Terrestris increases testosterone levels by increasing the level of luteinizing hormone in the body. Luteinizing hormone controls several hormonal balances in the body. It tells your body when to produce more testosterone and also allows for greater conversion of DHEA and androstenedione in testosterone.

So you might think that because it raises testosterone levels Tribulus Terrestris is going to help you build muscles, right? You would be wrong. Studies have found that it does raise testosterone levels by as much as 30%. However it only raises them within normal limits. This means you will not see the super high test levels you would see when taking a prohormone or steroid and you won’t see any unusual muscle growth. At best you will get a small increase in libido if you are low normal in your testosterone levels.

Don’t give up yet on Tribulus Terrestris however. There are three groups of athletes who can benefit from its proven testosterone boost.

  1. Overtrained individuals
  2. Individuals on a low calorie or “cutting” type diet
  3. Individuals recovering from prohormone or steroid use

All three of these groups will have very low levels of testosterone and a 30% boost to these low levels can make a huge difference in energy, libido and muscle tone.500-1500mg daily is a typical dose for Tribulus Terrestris and be sure to find a supplement with an extract standardized for 45% steroidal saponins. There are no known side effects from Tribulus Terrestris, although some users have reported upset stomachs from large doses.
