What is Tribulus Terrestris

Tribulus Terrestris is actually a natural herbal ingredient derived from flowering plants that are native to warm and tropical regions in the world. If you have never heard of tribulus terrestris, you may know it as ‘puncture vine’ or ‘yellow vine’. Tribulus terrestris is commonly found in parts of Eastern Asia and some regions of Africa. It has been a staple part of many ancient forms of medicine for thousands upon thousands of years, and it still is to this day, in fact. However, more commonly, you are more likely to see tribulus terrestris extract in supplement stores across the globe, as this herbal ingredient is actually a bodybuilding staple. The reason for this is that tribulus terrestris has been proven to be one of the most effective testosterone boosters in the world, making it very desirable to men looking to increase their testosterone levels. Testosterone is the dominant male sexual hormone which is responsible for muscle mass, muscle size, definition, athletic ability, sexual libido, sperm motility, and much more besides.

How does it work?

Tribulus terrestris works in a whole variety of different ways within the human body, although its primary use is for helping to increase natural testosterone production and secretion. This in turn makes it very desirable for bodybuilders, as testosterone helps assist with muscle growth and repair in a number of different ways. Primarily, testosterone greatly reduces the time in which the muscles take to recover following a gruelling workout. It also enhances protein synthesis, which again, is where the body synthesises new muscle proteins to assist with muscle growth and repair following a gruelling workout. As if that wasn’t enough, it has been found to help to promote a positive balance of Nitrogen within the body, which assists with muscle function. Tribulus is also useful for anybody suffering with sexual dysfunction issues as the increase in testosterone can increase the libido and sex drive, as well as stamina as well. For couples trying for a baby, tribulus is useful as it enhances sperm motility as well, increasing the likelihood of conception.

What are the main benefits of using Tribulus Terrestris Supplements?

Some of the primary benefits associated with tribulus terrestris include:

Muscle growth

As mentioned, as tribulus is so effective at increasing testosterone production, the more testosterone that the body is able to synthesize naturally, the bigger and stronger the muscles will become. Following a gruelling workout, the testosterone will speed up protein synthesis and post-workout recovery, ensuring that the muscles are repaired bigger and stronger than they once were, at a much quicker rate.

Increased strength levels

On top of the increase in muscle growth, tribulus can also help to incease muscle strength, which is again, all down to the natural testosterone it is able to produce. The more testosterone there is, the more productive the muscles will become, and the more power the muscle fibres will be able to generate. This means bigger contractions which equals to increases in strength and explosive power.

Increased athletic performance

The more testosterone there is in your body, the better an athlete you will be. This is why many athletes will illegally inject testosterone or other artificial hormones and compounds to help increase athletic performance. Tribulus is a natural and safe method of increasing athletic performance, without the risks associated with using stronger compounds.

Other benefits include:

• Increased muscle mass
• Fat loss
• Increased strength levels
• Increased sex drive and libido
• Increased immune system
• Enhanced sperm motility
• Bigger and stronger erections
• Improved sex life
• Increased chance of conception
• Improved athletic performance
• And more...

Tribulus Terrestris VS ZMA

People often compare ZMA with tribulus terrestris, and although similar, the two supplements are actually very distinguishable from one another. ZMA is rich in minerals including zinc and magnesium, which can not only help to increase testosterone production, but they can also assist with sleep and stress levels. Whilst ZMA supplements increase testosterone, tribulus terrestris increases testosterone levels in a much higher way.

What can it be stacked with?

In actual fact, a lot of people will stack tribulus with ZMA supplements, although generally speaking, most typical bodybuilding supplement stacks will include tribulus, along with supplements like: Whey Protein, Creatine, Multi-vitamins, BCAAs, and Casein Protein.
