Tribulus terrestris has traditionally been used as a mood-enhancing smoke, tea (infusion) or a decoction (thick, boiled tea). It is a natural herbal alternative to synthetic anabolic hormones without any clinically proven toxic effects, and has been scientifically proven to support testosterone production.

Like DHEA and Androstenedione, Tribulus terrestris can naturally support testosterone production. Testosterone is vital because it plays many key roles in our bodies including building muscle size and strength. Athletes use Tribulus terrestris to help ensure that their levels of this natural hormone are at normal levels at all times. This can thus ensure that testosterone levels are maintained through a natural platform without the use of dangerous drugs like steroids.

The herb tribulus terrestris shows remarkable qualities in naturally increasing the level of luteinizing hormone levels (LH) thereby improving the manufacture of testosterone in the body - a level of up to 30% is claimed. It is furthermore used by people doing serious bodybuilding.

Many different cultures have used it for a number of purposes. For example, the Greeks used Tribulus terrestris as a diuretic and a mood-enhancer. Indians used it as a diuretic, antiseptic, and anti-inflammatory. The Chinese used it for a variety of liver, kidney, and cardiovascular diseases. The people of Bulgaria used Tribulus terrestris as a sex enhancer and to treat infertility.

Scientific Support:

The active ingredient in tribulus is unknown, but is though to be a component known as furostanol saponins. In India and China, the tribulus terrestris plant has been used as a "tonic" to increase energy levels and treat sexual dysfunction (usually in males). Some European studies suggest that tribulus extract can increase testosterone levels 30-50% above baseline levels – but still well within the normal range.

The easiest way to use this herb is to make a tea. Boil 2oz/cup of water for 5 minutes. Strain and drink sweetened with sugar. Vary dosage according to effects desired.
