Tribulus Terrestris Stacks and Tribulus Side Effects
Tribulus Terrestris - Testosterone's Best Friend
If you've read our other Tribulus Terrestris article, you'll know that
Tribulus is not a hormone, but rather, it boosts your testosterone by increasin
the level of luteinizing hormones (LH) in your system. LH stimulates the secretion
of sex steroids from the gonads for both males and females. In males testes, LH
binds to receptors stimulating synthesis and secretion of testosterone. In females,
theca cells in the ovary are stimulated by LH and secrete estrogen.

With this in mind, should you supplement Tribulus? The simple answer is, yes.
Tribulus Terrestris is not a hormone, and does not directly affect the hormones
in your body. By this, Tribulus works within your body's natural limits helping
you maximize your muscle and strength gains.
There are varieties of Tribulus Terrestris available.
Because Tribulus Terrestris is such a neutral and beneficial supplement, it's
often stacked with other supplements - mostly prohormones to maximize results. One
of the most popular stacks: Tribulus, DHEA, and Androstenedione. This stack has
been popularized by the exceptional results users experience.
Androstenedione is a prohormone that directly converts into testosterone, and
DHEA is 2 steps away from testosterone. Read about prohormones here.
In fact, this Tribulus-DHEA-Androstenedione stack has become so popular that
Optimum Nutrition developed its Andro Stack 850, which is one of the more popular
prohormone -Tribulus supplements. Read our Andro Stack 850 review here.
Tribulus has been used for quite a long time, and no studies have found any adverse
side effects of Tribulus. Again, one of the major benefits of Tribulus is that it's
not a hormone and only helps increase testosterone by increasing the level of Luteinizing
Hormones (LH). The only adverse side effect experienced is an upset stomach, which
can be helped if taken with food.
