Tribulus SupplementsTribulus supplements have been increasing in popularity since the early 90's. This started when many Eastern European Olympic athletes and sportsmen claimed that tribulus contributed to their success. Bodybuilders, athletes and people with low sex drive, took it in increasing numbers to see if it worked. Its popularity worldwide as one of the premier natural libido enhancers took off and it's never been more popular. What is Tribulus Terrestris?Tribulus Terrestris has been used for thousands of years in both Chinese and Indian medicine. It's a flowering plant in the family Zygophyllaceae, found in the warm and tropical regions of the Old World, southern Europe, southern Asia, Africa, and in Australia.Tribulus Terrestris has a long history in traditional medicine as an aphrodisiac. It works by stimulating the pituitary to release high levels of leutinizing hormone(LH). LH is the primary hormone responsible for telling the teses to increase testosterone production.

LH is the primary hormone responsible for telling the teses to increase testosterone production.Scientific evidenceWhat separates Tribulus from other aphrodisiacs is that it has good science to back it up. There is a study involving individuals taking 750 mg per day of tribulus terrestris. It showed that LH increased from 14.38 ml/U/ml to 24.75 ml/U/ml (which is a 72% increase in LH). Free testosterone went from 60 ng/dl to 84.5 ng/dl (which is an increase of 41%). These increases in testosterone are why bodybuilders have interest in using this supplement. They have been experiencing increases in muscle size, stamina, and strength.
