The only reliable studies I've found on Pubmed pretty much say it doesn't work better than placebo.

also if your natural test is too high it wont work

Exactly. Young guys already have good levels of test. The studies I read were of weightlifters mostly in their 20s. Bottom line, no difference in total or free test levels in the serum.

Yeah, but the question is - how does this differ when someone is in post cycle form? Provided negative feedback is in order, test levels are LOW - mid-20's or not.

We could then get into the whole saponin, etc... discussion.

Well, then tribulus may have some benefit during post cycle therapy. But as a stand alone product with no other hormone-altering regimens it would seem to be of little use.

for a guy, say in his 30s or 40s, it may be of significant usage.

Damn.....you guys make me feel old. If you are thirty-something, I could be your father. No dang wonder it is so hard to add LBM and drop the BF. Dang low "test"....the supp co's are making a fortune on guys like me. We are trying everything to get a little "test". I do rememember those good ole days though. By the time most of you are my age, there will probably be much better science to maintain the test.

In the meantime, please try to NOT make me feel so "aged". I need to keep up a good positive mental attitude and good Mind to Muscle Attitude.

Ooops, I'm "only" 33... :lol: By the way, which is the best tribulus pct? I'm currently using SAN Endotest Pro. I like this thing because it uses german tribulus and fortified with rhodiola rosea.

Tribex is supposed to be pretty good too, or alpha male

I love Tribex - i feel and see the effects of it whether I take it post cycle or stand alone
