However there have been some suggested benefits to women also. These include:<\/div>\n<div>\n<ul>\n<li><em>Normalisation of menstrual cycles<\/em><\/li>\n<li><em>Reduced symptoms of peri-and post-menopause<\/em><\/li>\n<li><em>Increased fertility\u00a0<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<hr \/>\n<\/div>\n<h2>Does research back up the claims, does it boost testosterone?<\/h2>\n<p>To date there is <em><strong>very little evidence<\/strong><\/em> to support increases in testosterone, strength and lean muscle mass during human studies of T. Terrestris supplementation.<\/p>\n<p>For example Rogerson et al [2]\u00a0found no between-group\u00a0gains in strength or lean muscle mass in elite level Rugby players during 5 weeks of pre-season heavy resistance training dosing 450mg daily.<\/p>\n<p>Likewise Antonio et al [3] found there was no increase in muscle mass\u00a0or exercise performance in 15 resistance-trained males, and Neychev [4]\u00a0reported\u00a0that the\u00a0steroid saponins possess <em><strong>neither direct nor indirect<\/strong><\/em> androgen-increasing properties when analyzing the effects of 10-20mg.kg on\u00a0testosterone, androstenedione and luteinizing hormone levels in 21 young men.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Which would mean that the steroidal saponins in Tribulus are largely ineffective when it comes to increasing testosterone.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>There may however be some evidence to suggest that T. Terrestris can boost libido and sexual virility, including fertility. For example, Sellandi et al [5] reported an improvement in erection quality in those with low sperm count, as well as sexual appetite. Again though there was no significant increase in testosterone evident.<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-713\" src=\"https:\/\/www.testofuel.com\/tf\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/trib-testosterone.jpg\" alt=\"trib-testosterone\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.testofuel.com\/tf\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/trib-testosterone.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.testofuel.com\/tf\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/trib-testosterone-150x84.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.testofuel.com\/tf\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/trib-testosterone-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.testofuel.com\/tf\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/trib-testosterone-768x432.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>Side Effects<\/h2>\n<p>It is recommended that if you have a\u00a0<em><strong>hormone dependant illnesses<\/strong><\/em> such as prostate or breast problems avoid this nutrient\u00a0altogether.

Toxicity studies have only been conducted using animals\u00a0in which symptoms of\u00a0cardiac muscle, liver and kidney damage were noted.<\/p>\n<p>In apparently healthy adults there are no serious side effects, although if you are an athlete you should be aware that supplementing Trib\u00a0may contravene the World Anti-Doping Agency&#8217;s rules by increasing urinary testosterone: epitestosterone ratio [2] and therefore lead to a ban from competition.<\/p>\n<p><strong>In short, supplementing this nutrient may cause you to fail a drug test.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>There are a number of less serous side effects associated with the nutrient\u00a0that could affect you- these include <em><strong>abdominal discomfort, excess gas production and nausea<\/strong><\/em>. Your\u00a0blood glucose levels may well be effected too, so if you suffer\u00a0with blood sugar sensitivity issues you may suffer from reactive issues such as tiredness or\u00a0light-headedness.<\/p>\n<p>As it is often used as a &#8216;stack&#8217; with other supplements, additional side effects may also be evident, although these will be dependent on the interaction with individual supplement ingredients and doses of what you take.<\/p>\n<p><strong>At present potential risks for human health as a result of supplementation of this nutrient\u00a0still remain unclear, but it&#8217;s not looking good.<\/strong><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>Does Tribulus Terrestris Increase Testosterone: The Conclusion<\/h2>\n<p>To summarize, there is <em><strong>little evidence<\/strong><\/em> to suggest that supplementing T. terrestris will improve your performance or boost testosterone.<\/p>\n<p>This means it&#8217;s unlikely that your strength, lean muscle mass or power output will increase as a result of either short or long term supplementation.<\/p>\n<p>However much of the data collected on performance enhancement is limited and therefore more studies are needed to assess differences in doses and\/or effects &#8211;\u00a0<strong>but on the whole it doesn&#8217;t look promising.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The high level of contradiction between\u00a0studies suggest that the marketing of T. terrestris\u00a0as a testosterone enhancer are not sufficiently supported.<\/p>\n<p><strong>If you&#8217;re looking to add this nutrient to your stack, we suggest you reconsider.<\/strong><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>Is there a better option?<\/h2>\n<p>Definitely<strong>.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>When it comes to boosting your testosterone levels naturally, its all about the ingredients.
