Sorry I have not logged on since my last post, I have started an incredibly intense job and just not had time to think about this. However, I am here to report some pretty amazing improvements. I am now on the tapering down part of my third cycle, going up to four 650mg caps, previous was three, then two. For the last three days of my five day off cycle, I was getting pretty solid boners, and then when I started taking tribulus again (currently day 6 of 9 day on cycle), it got harder to get it up and I got scared. Well I canāt remember exactly when it started or how long ago, but I have been getting boners at work thinking about this hot older senior manager I saw at a recent staff meet up. I can get harder erections again and sometimes it almost feels like it used to. My dick still has a curve in it though, I guess that is irreversible. But this seems all very very promising. I am also still taking macuna pruriens, fish oil, l-arginine and occasional vit d. I want to try acetylcarnitine for ongoing mental symptoms (mind blanks, forgetfulness)
Did you ever have sensitivity issues or little feeling when you orgasm?
Sensitivity problems yes, but like a year ago and it got a lot better before I started wth trib. However it has improved in that area. Orgasm wise, at one point I literally just felt nothing and nothing came out. Now I am fluctuating between really good orgasms with okish loads to less good and less product, but far from nothing/nothing.
So these all improved because of Tribulus? Thank you for the reply
Iāve seen some improvement in brain fog, energy levels, and mood from Tribulus over the past months, but the area where I still remain in big trouble is sexually. Dick is still numb (sometimes to the point that I canāt orgasm), and libido is still low. Not seeing much improvement on that front. Damn it.
2 I know of one particular person who got rid of the curve by pumping. Might be worth looking in to
Same here man
Major update that may pertain to you two.
Iām not an expert, and donāt have all the answers- but I have found the answer for me. I noticed, as noted on this thread previously, that as I moved up my tribulus dosage, I began to feel tired, and have no energy, but maintained morning woods. I can report today that I have remedied this problem, allowing my to advance myself on this protocol. My initially theory was correct- the increase in DHT from the increased Tribulus dosage was opposing my estrogen too greatly, leading me to feel fatigued.
To combat this, I have been taking Tongkat Ali, and it works.
The science goes that the DHT increase from tribulus was opposing my estrogen, the usage of tongkat raised LH which increased both testosterone and estrogen.
This is why I believe some do not feel good on tribulus. I believe it crushed their estrogen. So at least for me, it seems the raising DHT and estrogen simultaneously is doing the trick.
Current Regimen:
1000mg Trib 3x a day (for now before I go up).
500mg L-Phenylenanine x2 a day
175mg Tongkat Ali x1 a day (200:1 extract).
Feeling great. Libido, morning wood, all there.
Will continue to update.
Hmhmmā¦ There is something to that. My nipples are less sensitive when on Tribulus, indicating some kind of anti-estrogenic effect. Now you could say that this is because of increased DHT, but this is something that Iāve noticed even in the ābadā brands of Tribulus (i.e. those with little protodioscin which do not have the same benefits that VemoHerb has), presumably they still contain those other saponins and polyphenols which can displace estrogen from the receptor.
Tongkat Ali you say? Hm, Might give it a try then. I found a 20:1 extract, that sounds crap compared to what you have?
I can PM you what I take
Guys you need to get blood tests if you feel things are affecting your hormones. You can make yourself crazy with this stuff just by trying to judge things based on feel. Take it from someone who has been around the block with TRT and all manner of hormone affecting drugs ā donāt go by feel, go by test results.
Yes I plan to get a sex hormone panel next week, was just waiting to end all supplement cycles first to see where Iām really at.
P.S. MediHerb Tribulus is available on eBay again at ~50 USD, get while you can lol. Iāve already ordered mine.
Blood tests are very overrated. Firstly because the reference ranges are garbage, basically a 20 year old with the T level of the average 70 year old is considered healthy. Also every individual has a level which is optimal for them. And blood tests do not take receptors, which are equally important as hormone levels, into consideration at all.
Nobody said to pay attention to the ranges. Numbers are a million times better than āfeelā which is highly subject to placebo, reverse placebo, and other general psychological effects such as mood and variable psychological environment. The more you try to āfeelā yourself, the more you start imagining things and can totally make yourself crazy. Go by numbers. Tests arenāt that expensive and theyāre certainly cheap compared to the costs of herbs people are experimenting with. You probably save money by using them vs going back and forth large number of times trying to see how you feel spending 100s a month on s.
Im to 4 capsules of trib now. I felt my estrogen rise a little last night into this morning(emotions on high, anxiety) so I skipped the longjack this morning. Itās mid day now and the anxiety has decreased. I wanted to note this because just as the dosage for the trib is tentative, the same goes for the longjack.
Will continue to update!
I recently finished off my VemoHerb tribulus, finished the last 12 or so capsules over 3-4 days so the last 2 days were 3 capsules per day and I finished it with no taper. During this time I was also taking Vitamin D 6000 IU and some probiotics at 2 tablets per day. Felt somewhat shitty the day after the last trib pill (was still suppressed) and then the day after that, I woke up noticing being in a quite different mental state.
Basically I feel like I am on topical DHT all the time - I have that ādrivenā mental edge, Iām ballsy, I talk shit, I have more energy (been doing some construction/masonry work around the house fixing some stuff from ages ago, for 2 days in a row, so that automatically means also that I had motivation to actually do shit which I normally donāt have), and slightly more libido, felt desire to watch porn twice in a day, which isā¦ Wow! Anyway, it feels permanent but weāll see how long it sticks. I like being like this. Unfortunately I canāt tell if itās the trib cycle on its own or the increased vit. D levels or even the probiotic.
To all the guys which benefit from the tribulus: How many days do you stop the in between the cycles?
It varies. I went close to two weeks
I came here to end this thread.
Here.
The aphrodisiac herb Tribulus terrestris does not influence the androgen production in young men.
I found this in wikipedia though. lol
