Does trib raise estrogen??

[Merc..]

Heard trib will raise estrogen levels is this correct??

[Myka]

Ive never heard that....I dont see how it could be true...it doesnt aromatize etc to my knowledge...who told you this? I know there are some ppl on this board that like to say random things...

[AnatomicallyBlessed]

not sure but it doesn't seem that elevated estrogen levels would result directly from the tribulus but maybe just a natural reaction to the elevated nat test response

[Milky87]

I beleive that trib stimulates LH, which in turn stimulates test. It is possible that some of the extra test will aromatize into estradiol

[AnabolicBoy1981]

it raises LH some 70%, test 40% and estrogen 80%
i don't now if its aromatization. some say the active saponin protoscion in trib converts to dhea, and dhea can convert to andro and estrogen. this could be the reason.

Thats quite a bit...where are the tests that you found this?

[AnabolicBoy1981]

these tests were done with tribestan. i read this in an articel about trib i think will brink wrote it, i could be wrong, i will find it and post it but he suggests using arimidex with trib.

persoanlly i diagree with using arimidex with it. I think you should just use nolva at 10mg/day and harness some the anabolic properties of estrogen. unless of course your cutting in which case you wanna slash estrogen, so arimedex may be better.

No it doesn't. Taking tribulus terrestris leads to the production of the luteinizing hormone (LH). When LH levels are increased, the natural production of testosterone also increases.

And testosterone is the substrate for estradiol

I've take Tribestan from Sopharma and I can say that it is a pecker erector for sure. All night long my third leg just won't go away.

Anyways....are you saying that tribestan is great for pct because you will be taking an estrogen blocker at the same time?

It does raise estrogen. I used it at 4g ED, without an AI, and gyno flared up. I immediately took Liquidex (AI) and the gyno went away. If you are taking high doses of trib (which I will never do again because tongkat ali is more effective), for your PCT, you should run an AI. I'm not gyno prone and it flared me up.

So would an estrogen blocker make trib ok?

If trib boosts LH 70% and test 40%, what is the info on tongkat ali? I've heard good things about tongat ali but I have never used it and don't know the info on it.

i took the NUTREX brand called VITRIX..nipples got real sensitive & one day actually got a tiny bit of fluid out of my right nip when i was massaging the tissue behind the nip. Stopped Immediately & hopped on 6oxo & all was good after.I have used sopharma tribestan & it DEFINITLEY works on all levels & i never had any prob w my nips or gyno flare up.

Sopharma Tribestan is one of my supplements I use during pct. I take two tabs, three times a day and I'll do this for three weeks total and then stop until next pct.

I've taken Sopharma Tribestan before and I never had any problems. I'd like to believe the 70% jump in LH and 40% jump in test but either way, I feel better when I'm taking it. And mentally I believe in it because of all the late night hard-ons..... so I think maybe the 40% jump in test is legit?

If you are gyno prone, then I would recommend taking an AI with trib (if you are going to use it).

What do you think?

[Bryan2]

Tribulus DOES NOT raise test levels to numbers like that in ANY way that study is a biased report just trying to get you to buy there product I have seen NUMEROUS studies showing absolutley no change in testosterone levels when trib is administered.


AND is does NOT work by raising LH it converts into DHEA and only sometimes DHEA converts into a small portion of test and estrogen.

[Bryan2]

Tongat ALI works effectively in raising test but there are still no published studies done on it yet.

It works by producing more natural HCG and then the HCG produces increased test.

It is NOT suppressive either and the amount of HCG produced will not cause suppresion.

Thanks for the info Bryan.

This thread was saying that it was suppressive. So now I'm confused

Either way I like what Tribestan does for my sex drive.

[Bryan2]

Yes anthing that you supplement is going to suppress somewhat because your replacing your bodies work but in this case it isnt anything to be concerned about.
