Tribestan: Nature's Anabolic Steroid

Not Tribulus Terrestris - but Tribestan (pronounced Trib-es-stan). Tribestan is the original Bulgarian Tribulus, and is made from the Bulgarian Tribulus plant. It is said to be a supplement that many professional bodybuilders who use anabolic steroids take after a cycle in order to encourage their bodies to start producing normal amounts of testosterone on their own again.

I don't know if that's true, but I have used both Tribestan and Tribulus, and Tribulus doesn't hold a candle to Tribestan. By that I mean, while using Tribestan I was able to workout harder and build muscle faster than I did prior to using it, or while using Tribulus Terrestris.

Tribestan is a natural non-hormonal herb, that encourages your body to increase its production of luteinizing hormones. Luteinizing hormones stimulate the production of testosterone, and you know how important testosterone is for building lean muscle. Tribestan has also been proven to support sexual health, and is safe for both men and women.

Tribestan is used in the same manner as anabolic steroids. A typical bulking cycle would be eight weeks on, followed by eights weeks off. You could continue this cycle as many times as you wish without affecting your body's ability to produce normal amounts of testosterone.

A one month supply of Tribestan costs between $45 and $50, but be sure to shop around to get the best deal possible. The recommended dosage is determined by your weight; one table one to three times per day for those under 200 pounds, and two tablets two to three times per day for those over 200 pounds.

But the best approach is to simply take one tablet before each workout. There are two reasons for this. One: is you will save money. Two: it will give you a chance to determine the absolute lowest dose that you can take and still get results. Remember, less is always best when taking supplements, as this is the best way to keep your liver and kidneys from being overworked.
