Long term tribulus use

[slick rick]

I have been taking 750mg ( 1 cap) to 1500MG of Bulgarian trib each day for the past 8 weeks. I know documented studies are somewhat limited on the use and effects of tribulus, but was just wondering if anyone knows of any studies or even personal experience regarding the effects of long term use of trib.

Havn't looked at anything recently but I remember a while back searching through the literature quite extensively. Don't remember finding anything regarding long term use. I kinda doubt there are any studies that address it. Although it may hinge on what you consider "long term".

why spend so much money on "long term" use of this stuff when its all but proven to be rather ineffective. why are you using it?

I have had great results since I started taking it, my strength increased, more so than it has ever by taking creatine over the years, lost some body fat as well and have added muscle. It's not expensive either, $20 for 120 caps is pretty cheap. I have tried it previously with limited results like you mention but this time around I find a substantial change. I was just wondering if maybe i should cycle it like some do creatine, and if there are any studies or personal experiences on how it effects the body from producing LH naturally by taking it long term.

as far as I know all the studies done were either on castrated rats or sheep. its hard to bridge the gap to human applicability or effectiveness. are you sure it has nothing to do with a placebo effect? the only results i ever got from trib was with Tribestan and Tribex. Both gave me RAGING boners all the time for no reason and mild to extreme anxiety lol. FUN! nothing really as far as training though, nothing i noticed anyway.

It could be Placebo I suppose #8. I seem to be the opposite of you, it hasn't done that much for me as far a libido goes but has had a good effect on training. I'm taking the Ultimate Nutrition Bulgarian Trib. Thanks bro.
