Tribulous Terrestris is OK for DH TTC BOY!!
|
|
This is what I found regarding this supplement. It looks like it is fine for both and DW! Please take note!
Tribulus Terrestris is the closest and strongest all natural
herbal alternative to synthetic anabolic hormones. This
non-hormonal supplement is proven to increase testosterone
levels in humans. Tribulus Terrestris causes your body to release luteinizing
hormone, which in turn then signals your testicles to
naturally produce more testosterone. But Tribestan also
prevents your body from recognizing that is producing high
levels of testosterone, so your body will not try to then lower
it luteinizing hormone levels. So your testosterone level
stays high. When taking external sources of testosterone, your body
can decrease it's own natural testosterone production.
Tribulus Terrestris keep your own bodies testosterone
level high.
. Tribulus Terrestris does not cause
excessive estrogen, in fact it will normalize estrogen
levels in your body, including bringing it down if it was
too high. Tribulus Terrestris will increase Testosterone levels
in women, but not enough to cause masculinizing effects.
Tribulus Terrestris is perfect for women looking to build
muscle and lose fat.

Again great find, Rebirtha! 
I also found this for those of you who are worried about growing a mustache! 
Q. Can Tribulus Terrestris cause "Gyno" or "bitch-tits"?
A. Gynecomastia is caused by excessive estrogen in the
body of males. Tribulus Terrestris does not cause
excessive estrogen, in fact it will normalize estrogen
levels in your body, including bringing it down if it was
too high.
Q. Is Tribulus Terrestris safe for women?
A. Yes! Tribulus Terrestris will increase Testosterone levels
in women, but not enough to cause masculinizing effects.
Tribulus Terrestris is perfect for women looking to build
muscle and lose fat.
Note: Women taking Tribulus Terrestris need to stop taking
it 5 days before thier period and resume after. Tribulus
Terrestris can increase follicle stimulating hormone (FSH)
in women. (FSH levels do not increase in men taking
Tribulus Terrestris).

What are the risk of taking this and for how long can you take it? I I know you said that is great for dh but I have hbp, Is it save for me to take?
 14 13  9 4 My GD baby coming soon...12-13-10.  Your labor prediction quiz results are below..... Just about the time you think you can't handle hearing one more "when is that baby going to pop?", your baby will decide to make it's appearance. We predict your baby will be born 3-7 days before its due date. Your baby will most likely be born in the morning. Justmommies predicts that your baby will weigh approximately 7.8 pounds and that your labor will be about 8 hours long.

Also good for sperm motility!
Sperm motility
Tribulus also helps improve sperm motility (movement), thus enhancing fertility, as found in a double-blind placebo-controlled trial conducted on 30 men at the Airlangga University in Surabaya, Indonesia. Half the men received a 500 mg dose of Tribulus three times per day for 60 days, and the rest were given sugar pills. The ejaculate volume, sperm concentration, and other parameters were evaluated before and after treatment.
A significant increase in the percentage of slow or sluggish sperm in the treated group was observed when compared to the control group. The percentage of the sperm with normal acrosome reaction (penetration of the sperm into the ovum) was also increased, whereas the percentage of immotile sperm decreased significantly.
The men who took Tribulus also experienced an increase in sex drive and had more frequent sexual intercourse. No one experienced any side effects. The researchers concluded that Tribulus terrestris, given at 500 mg three times a day for 60 days, proved to be effective in restoring significant sperm functions, such as motility.11

Maria - I found these for you. It seems to reduce high blood pressure.

and
Tribulus Terrestris and hypertension
Antihypertensive and vasodilator effects of methanolic and aqueous extracts of Tribulus terrestris in rats.
J Ethnopharmacol. 2006 Apr 6;104(3):351-5. Department of Pharmaceutical Chemistry, Faculty of Pharmacy, Kuwait University, P.O. Box 24923, 13110 Safat, Kuwait.
The effects of methanolic and aqueous extracts of Tribulus terrestris on rat blood pressure (BP) and the perfused mesenteric vascular bed were investigated. The tribulus terrestris extracts dose-dependently reduced BP in spontaneously hypertensive ratswith the aqueous fraction being more potent than the methanolic fraction at all doses tested. It was concluded that methanolic and aqueous extracts of Tribulus terrestris possess significant antihypertensive activity in spontaneously hypertensive rats. The antihypertensive effects appeared to result from a direct arterial smooth muscle relaxation possibly involving nitric oxide release and membrane hyperpolarization.

lol now you sucked me in!
ok its also known as puncture vine. This supplement takes salt out of the body. Salt is needed when ttc a boy. besides that it looks great. But remember, salt has a positive ion concentration and when you remove the salt you remove its ions as well.
I think it was this salt removal that made us turn it down last time. But maybe it i somthing to work around?
