Sweet I just ordered this ON's Trib (from ASN) because it is so cheap and apparently dosed correctly. Good post bro

hmm so we can use Fenugreek and Dioscorea deltodea instead of tribulus???

I wouldn't take this article as gospel the writer says this-Firstly, I worked with the best extract manufacturers in the world to develop a Tribulus Terrestris product that is standardized for a minimum of 40% furostanolic saponins. Do you think he could be a bit biased? Or making money here in some way?

**sp9** · 06-05-2004, 06:31 AM

Not taking it as gosphel just wanted to get a discussion going. I does seem well established that the furostanolic saponins are the key ingredient. Who really has them in their product at the claimed levels? Anyones guess, but I am using vitamin shoppe brand tribulus at 20% saponins and that's before you break them out into furostanolic and spirostanolic saponins. Which they don't tell you!

Anyway, hopefully we can find a good product that has what they claim and has the detail on furostanolic saponins.

I just looked at my bottle and it says "standarized for 45% steroidal saponins" lol

**zOaib** · 06-06-2004, 07:37 AM

i have been using VITRIX by nutrex ........... these are the stats

Liquid German Tribulus Terrestris 1000mg

Total Saponins 80%

Protodioscin 20%

NTS - 5 500mg

Liquid proprietary blend phyto-nutrient blend
Vitex agnus castus
avena sativa
epidmedium
eurycomo longfolla jack

serving size 6 lqui-caps ............ either in morning or 30 min before workout or 30 minute before sexual activity .......................

i take 6 of them all the time and its the strongest trib i have used ......... i have used biotest , ON trib 625 , santrax , nutrbios trib powder ...... and a couple more .......... but by far this is the most potent ......... really gets me goign on my sex drive too

**zOaib** · 06-06-2004, 07:39 AM

the NTS-5 is an estrogen blocker , in this trib .............. so having that i guess why ti makes sense being potent since it forces the body to produce more test and no conversion to estro !

Biotest's tribulus is more towards the expensive side, but it is far and away the best I have used.

Never trust anyone who is trying to sell you something.
