Benefits Of Tribulus Supplementation
Written by ama on December 30, 2008At the gym have you ever seen people making faster gains than you? You ask yourself why, do they work out more than you or are you just one of those hard gainers? One answer for that may be due to testosterone
Testosterone is the main male sex hormone found in the body and is responsible for many important functions in the body. It can increase muscle mass and improve bone density and strength. Testosterone is naturally produced in the body and people can have differing levels. The differences in these levels help explain why some people can gain muscle faster than others.
This has been known for a long time by doctors and people in the body building and sporting community, this is the reason why some athletes take anabolic steroids. These are synthetic and sometimes modified forms of testosterone that are either injected into the body or taken orally to increase the testosterone levels in the body artificially to help increase muscle mass and strength. Steroid use can have harmful side effects such as enlargement of the heart and liver cancer. While it is dangerous it’s also illegal for most sports and if you get caught using steroids in some sports you can get banned for life.
Steroid use increases testosterone levels by adding extra testosterone to the body but another way to raise levels is to promote the body to make more of its own. There have been natural ways found that can make the body produce more testosterone and Tribulus Terrestris is one of them. It is known as the puncture vine and has traditionally been a natural remedy promothing sexual performance and virility.
The way that Tribulus Terrestris promotes testosterone production is that it induces the pituitary gland in the brain to produce more luteinizing hormone. This hormone is involved with signalling the testes to manufacture more testosterone. The result of this is that the higher luteinizing hormone levels will increase the amount of testosterone produced in the body.
With these increased levels of testosterone ones strength will start to improve and it will become easier to add muscle. Increased testosterone levels have also been linked to improved mood and energy levels as studies have shown that depression in some males can be linked to low testosterone levels. So if you are worried that you may not be making the gains that you want to make or feel like you energy levels are flagging maybe this herb could be the thing you need.
