Tribulus stimulates the testicles to produce testosterone, women get their testosterone from the adrenal glands. So it probably won't work. | ||

Tribulus stimulates an increase in FSH (follicle stimulating hormone) in women. This increases your chances to become pregnant but it won't increase your bench. TestoMan | ||

Extra, do some internet research. Everything I've read says females should not use tribulus. But you need to do some reading on the subject and decide for yourself. | ||

First, there is no good research that Tribulus does anything for the endocrine system. What people are claiming as signs of test increase, erections, is due to the vasodilatory properties of a compound in Trib, dioscin and protodioscin. Women should have no problems with Tribulus, since even if it did increase LH levels, this would increase estrogen levels in them. | ||

From an athletic standpoint it does not make any sense for women to take Tribulus. Again, it will stimulate FSH output and that in turn will increase estrogen levels. TestoMan | ||

I found out that some company, selling tribulus taken from fruits (dark brown)& from roots & leaves(light almost yellow)I took from fruits & nothing comes out of it but when I took those from roots & leaves I'm stump,it's pretty good,I'm losing fats around my middle,BTW each of us is different,so no harm in trying. 7 |
