How much does Trib increase nat'k test production?
Drugs like arimidex are said to increase natural testosterone production by 50% (I think?). I want to know if anybody has heard how mucht Tribulus will increase your natural test production? I can't find arimidex around for PCT in time because it takes 4 weeks to get it from AR-Review.com to canada so I was thinking of throwing a Tribulus in at a certain daily dosage throughout my PCT.
What do you think?

since when has arimdex increases natty test by 50%!!?!
Why didnt you order arimidex before your cycle? Also nolva/clomid is better for pct anyways

yeah dont rely on trib for pct. i dont think they are strong enough to raise test levels back to normal after a cycle. getting the clomid and nolva is crucial, atlest if u wanna keep the gains u made after ur cycle.

Testosterone and Estrogen imbalance in Men
The most significant hormone imbalance in aging men is a decrease in free testosterone while estrogen levels remain the same or precipitously increase. Some men convert their testosterone to estrogen. In some men testosterone replacement therapy by itself does not work because the replacement testosterone may convert (aromatize) into even more estrogen. Estrogen is a necessary hormone for men, but too much causes a wide range of health problems such as heart attacks and stroke. High levels of estrogen have been implicated as a cause of benign prostatic hypertrophy and one mechanism by which nettle extract works is by blocking the binding of growth-stimulating estrogen to prostate cells.
High levels of estrogen in men also trick the brain into thinking that enough testosterone is being produced, thereby slowing down the natural production of testosterone. Based on the multiple deleterious effects of excess estrogen in men, aggressive actions should be taken to reduce estrogen to a safe range if a blood test reveals elevated levels.
Remember, excess estrogen (estradiol) blocks the production and effect of testosterone throughout the body, dampens sexuality, and increases the risk of prostate and cardiovascular diseases.
If estradiol levels are high (above 30), total testosterone in mid to high normal and free testosterone levels are low or low normal, you should:
1. Make sure you are getting 80 –90 mg of zinc daily.
2. Consume 110 mg of soy isoflavones (phytoestrogens) each day. High levels of physoestrogens compete with estradiol on cell receptor sites and stimulate the liver to remove estrogens from the blood.
3. Reduce or eliminate alcohol consumption. Heavy alcohol intake increases estrogen in men and women
4. Review all drugs you are regularly taking to see if they may be interfering with a health liver function. Common drugs that affect liver function are the NSAIDS…ibuprofen, acetaminophen (Tylenol), aspirin, the “statin” class of cholesterol lowing drugs, some heart and blood pressure medications and some anti-depressants.
5. Lose weight. Fat cells, especially in abominal region, produce aromatase enzyme, which converts testosterone into estrogen.
6. If all of the above fail to increase free testosterone and lower excess estradiol, then the potent aromatase inhibiting drug Arimidex (anastrozole) in the very low dose of ½ (0.5 mg) twice a week is indicated. This should cause an immediate drop in estradiol levels and a rise in free testosterone.
I got that from

Doesnt say anything about 50% though
