Tribulis or 7-Isoproproxyisoflavone for women???

[mrstamiina]

What kind of effect would Tribulis or 7-Isoproproxyisoflavone have on women?

Have any of you tried any one? or any supplements that contained any of the two ingredients?

I tried tribulus a few yrs ago. All I did was bloat & get uber acne. I wouldn't recommend it at all.

I posted this question last year on anoter forum

I would avoid tribulus like the plague. As far as I can tell it has the opposite effect in women as it does in men. In both men and women it increases lutenizing hormone (LH). In men this leads to an increase in testosterone, in women this increases estrogen. Nuff said.

Not necessarily in women.

I've had a couple different trainer types recommend it based on the research which makes it sound like it is a good supp, however in practice I found it did nothing productive for me. Just major acne and bloat.

Neither of them are worth taking unless you want to raise estrogen activity. They are both estrogenic compounds in adult women. However at least Ipriflavone shifts the balance of estrogens away from the so-called "bad" estradiol to the healthier estrone, but that's prolly more important for postmenopausal women.

Here's a link to one of the studies that shows Tribulus raises estrogen and lowers testosterone in postmenopausal women. As far as I know, no one has tested this in premenopausal women yet, but I honestly can't see how it would be of benefit and wouldn't risk it.
