| Okay,
I'd be kidding you if I told you that Tribulus Terrestris is a miracle
herb. ;-) But Tribulus Terrestris isn't far off from being a 'super'
herb. Let's see why. First, Tribulus Terrestris is a herb used for
its medicinal effects around the world. Tribulus is extracted from
the plant, and used as a natural nutritional supplement. It has
been used for centuries by the Chinese to calm the liver, treat
headaches, dizziness, and premature ejaculation.
So what the heck does Tribulus Terresteris have
to do with bodybuilding and fitness? Read on...

Here are some quick Tribulus facts:

low libido, and male infertility

Tribulus Terrestris - Testosterone Enhancer
In bodybuilding, Tribulus is used for its testosterone
boosting properties more than anything else. Studies have shown
over 50% increase in testosterone levels when taking Tribulus Terresteris.
We all know testosterone helps build muscle and strength, that's
why some pro athletes use steroids and other prohormones to enhance
performance.
You'll be happy to hear that Tribulus Terrestris
is NOT a hormone! It works completely different from Andro and DHEA.
Tribulus increases testosterone through increasing luteninizing
hormone (LH) in your body. LH tells your body to produce testosterone.
Why is this beneficial? Simply because Tribulus is not a hormone
supplement, it merely works within the body's natural limits helping
you achieve muscle and strength.
