Introduction
Our Tribulus is the most powerful and freshest around! Tribulus terrestris, also known as the puncture vine, grows naturally in many places throughout the world, including North and South America, Africa, Asia, Australia and the Middle East. In many places, it is considered a pest weed that grows in vacant lots and on roadsides, but the indigenous populations have often had a different use for the noxious weed. It is most popularly believed to improve sexual functioning, and is often used as an aphrodisiac. In various parts of the world, the puncture vine has been attributed other uses as well. In Europe, China and India, various peoples have used the tribulus to lower blood pressure and cholesterol, treat headache, nervous disorders and constipation, and stimulate the central nervous system.

Modern science suggests that at least some of these uses may have a basis in fact. In one study, rats treated with tribulus showed improved blood flow to the genitals and improved sexual behavior. Scientists believe that it may work by relaxing smooth muscles and allowing greater blood flow. In addition, some clinical trials suggest that tribulus may lower both blood pressure and cholesterol and increase muscle mass, making it a popular supplement among athletes and bodybuilders.

Summary
Tribulus seems to work by increasing the levels of luteinizing hormone, which signals the body to start producing its own natural testosterone. This leads to increased libido and increased muscle mass, among other things. While tribulus has no known side effects in humans, there is some evidence that the plant can be toxic to livestock. The plant also can provoke photodermatitis.
Precautions
Not for persons with stomach inflammation, ulcers, serious digestion or liver disorders.
May cause gastro-intestinal upset.
The reasons for all of this are that somehow tribulus terrestris increases testosterone levels by increasing luteininzing hormone (LH) levels. LH is the hormone that signals the body to start making natural testosterone. There is a study involving individuals taking 750 mg per day of tribulus terrestris. It showed that LH increased from 14.38 ml/U/ml to 24.75 ml/U/ml (which is a 72% increase in LH). Free testosterone went from 60 ng/dl to 84.5 ng/dl (which is an increase of 41%). These increases in testosterone are why bodybuilders have interest in using this supplement. They have been experiencing increases in muscle size, stamina, and strength.
Tribulus Side Effects:
Tribulus has been used for quite a long time, and no studies have found any adverse side effects of Tribulus. Again, one of the major benefits of Tribulus is that it's not a hormone and only helps increase testosterone by increasing the level of Luteinizing Hormones (LH). The only adverse side effect experienced is an upset stomach, which can be helped if taken with food. A good supplement formula containing the purest forms of Tribulus is Show-Tech.
