Too Much Tribulus

Can too much tribulus cause temporary ED?

I’ve been taking 750mg x 3 of tribulus for a week now. That may be too much. I’ve noticed some ED.

Any thoughts?

I’ll be backing off of it to see what happens.

I was taking heavy doses of an herbal sex pill for a while that had tribulus in it and i began to loose my sex drive. It may be something you have to cycle.

Yeah I think so.

I remember I was taking sex pills a few years ago that were supposed to help libido, erections etc. I was taking them a lot. I couldn’t get hard even with a cock ring for a long time.

I’ve also noticed that my balls seem smaller.

I think I will skip the tribulus until I return to normal.

It took months last time.

Yea like dave said you’ve gotta cycle these sort of supplements,

Like 2 weeks on 1 week off, it usually says on the pack don’t take for longer than 60 days at a time or something like that.

Best way to take it I think is just when you need it, for example before and after gym , before sex or pe

I’m also taking Arginine and St. John’s Wort. Do those have any adverse side effects on erection?

If your taking it to boost your test levels your wasting your money, tribulus is bunk, this has been well known for a long time.

Is this true johnny? Could be me not quite sure , but I can tell you

When I was taking tribulus for a while it helped me put on a lot of mass when I hit a plateau
Gave me more energy at gym too unless it was all in my head :)

Well, my symptoms show that tribulus definately does something. It may not be that safe, however.

Phantasm: specifically read the part about safety. (This is not the best site BTW)

Now I know in that link says a European study found an increase in test but I would be more inclined to believe the second study which showed nothing, I’m sure many more studies have proved that point. Another point to consider is that if Tribulus did in fact raise test level it would definitely not be so freely available in Australia and would definitely be on the IOC banned substance list, which it is not.

The placebo effect is so powerful that supplement company’s make millions of dollars a year selling it. Take L-glutamine for example, recent studies have shown orally administered L-glutamine is actually converted to glucose in the liver (in the studies showing benefits it was administered via IV), but many bodybuilders, athletes and coachs swear by it although it is completely ineffective. In other words save your money.

One problem with Tribulus is that some companies don’t include any of the active ingredient at all (which is protodioscin, not saponins).

Also, you can have your testosterone assayed by a saliva exam for very little money.

The one herb that I KNOW raises test is tongkat ali, but like trib, very very little of it is legitimate. The only place I know that is legit is Tongkat Ali extracts for sex and Black Ginger (Kaempferia Parviflora) for weight loss. Also, unless you get a concentration of at least 1:50 root extract, it’s worthless.

It stimulates the leidig’s cells to produce more test and it can cause your dick and balls to grow. Cycle it.

It’s slightly expensive and you have to buy it from southeast asia, as there is only one legitimate plantation in the world. You can buy real tongkat elsewhere, but it doesn’t have the same concentrations of what you need, for some reason. I’ve tried most and finally gave up trying to find it cheaper because it was always crap stuff. Just bought 70 grams of 1:50 root extract (the minimum potency you should use — at 800mg - 1 gram per day) and use a capsule machine fill my own capsules. I also have 70 grams of 1:200 extract. I cycle 5 on 2 off. I don’t PE unless I’m using this stuff as I want the best results. I’m 51.

You might want to get a discount by buying with others. You also have to pass customs, which so far has been fine to the US.
