Product Features Tribulus Maximus - BIOTECH USA

tribulus

Tribulus Terrestris - a plant belonging to the Zygophyllaceae family, native to Asia and Australia, used for centuries mainly as a tonic and energizer, in traditional medicines such as Chinese and Ayurvetic. In sports practice, however, tribulus terestris has found use as yet another ineffective natural stimulator of endogenous testosterone synthesis.
The molecular characterization of this plant, and in particular of its fruits, has highlighted the presence of flavonoids, starches, alkaloids and saponins, each of which has different practical implications.
Among all these compounds, and others still being identified, we focused on a principle, PROTODIOSCIN , which seems to be responsible for the anabolic-like and stimulating effects of this plant. A study conducted on animal models, rats and rabbits, has in fact demonstrated how this compound, belonging to the saponin family, can significantly increase the levels of luteinizing hormone (LH), dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA), testosterone, dihydrotestosterone and increase both spermatogenesis and the frequency of mating.
tribulus terrestris Protodioscin has also found applications in the treatment of erectile dysfunction in men, probably thanks to its stimulating action on the release of the most powerful vasodilator available to us (nitric oxide), although its efficacy has not yet been demonstrated.


Tribulus in sports practice

As already mentioned, supplements based on this plant extract are used by many athletes with the hope of increasing endogenous testosterone levels, supporting muscle growth and assisting the anabolic phase. With the same intent, some bodybuilders hope to be able to increase endogenous testosterone levels at the end of a doping cycle with steroid anabolic hormones, trying to minimize the side effects that this practice entails (decrease in endogenous synthesis).

Rationale - Tribulus Maximus - BIOTECH USA

Although studies on animal models have reported encouraging results, these are quite meaningless when compared to those carried out on humans. A well-known practice is in fact that of extending and generalizing the effects recorded on laboratory animals, or on individuals affected by certain pathologies, to the healthy and trained human organism, regardless of the enormous interspecies and intraspecies variability. In light of what has been said - while considering the experimental studies conducted on animals - we will take as a reference, for the evaluation of the efficacy of this product, studies that document the activity of tribulus on humans. The scientific literature shows several works in this regard that are quite in agreement:

  1. Study on 22 rugby athletes with 450 mg/day of tribulus for 5 weeks: no increase in lean mass, no increase in muscle strength, no difference in urinary testosterone/epitestosterone ratio;
  2. Study on 21 healthy individuals supplemented with 10/20 mg/kg/day for 4 weeks: no difference in plasma levels of testosterone, androsterone and LH;
  3. Study on 15 healthy subjects at 3.21 mg/kg/day for 8 weeks: no changes in terms of weight and body composition.
  4. A study conducted on trained athletes shows no changes in blood characteristics following tribulus supplementation for 20 days.

These and other studies allow us to draw conclusions on the ineffectiveness of tribulus in the endogenous stimulation of testosterone in healthy men, even at high doses.

Recommended Use by the Company - Tribulus Maximus - BIOTECH USA

Swallow 2 capsules daily in a glass of water.

How to use in sports - Tribulus Maximus

The various studies seem to agree on the ineffectiveness of tribulus-based supplements, even if used at very different doses. In fact, no results were obtained at modest doses (450 mg/day) or important ones (20/mg/kg/day), both for short and prolonged periods.
It is therefore quite difficult to define an optimal dosage in sports practice, given the lack of precise studies on its pharmacokinetics and biodistribution.

Tribulus Maximus Side Effects - BIOTECH USA

Fortunately, side effects also appear to be insignificant, although cases of abdominal pain have been reported. Worthy of note is a study that reported the presence of gynecomastia following chronic use of tribulus terrestris.

Tribulus Maximus Interactions - BIOTECH USA

Although the pharmacokinetics of this product are not characterized, it is known that saponins can interfere with the absorption of various substances, significantly modifying their bioavailability.
Among the typical effects of saponins in general we can mention the expectorant one, mediated by an irritant action on the mucosa, anti-edematous and anti-inflammatory.
