Which Is Considered The Most Effective Tribulus Terrestris?
Ever since athletes in the 90s came forward to praise the benefits of Tribulus Terrestris this herbal remedy has gained in popularity the world over. Not only does it improve muscle growth, weight reduction, strength, performance and stamina, it is also highly recommended for the fact that it aids in rectifying sexual dysfunction in both men and women. In men it helps as far as impotency and erectile dysfunction.
There are different strains of this plant found not only in Asia but also in some parts of Europe and Africa; however these do differ from each other due to their chemical makeup. Before we can answer the question of which strain of Tribulus Terrestris is considered to be the best or the most effective, let us first find out a bit more about the plant itself.
This is a low-growing, flowering vine that produces a spiny fruit. Because of this Tribulus Terrestris is also known as the Puncture Vine. It is the fruit and the leaves that are used to produce the medicinal extract. The fact that the herb is known to improve strength, muscle growth, etc. is well documented, and has to do with the fact that it contains steroid-like components. With the growing interest the world over in alternative remedies and medicines, especially those that are natural, Tribulus Terrestris has enjoyed greater acclaim. However, this herb has been used extensively in both China and in India, specifically to treat sexual dysfunction in both the sexes for literally thousands of years.
Now that we have familiarized ourselves somewhat with this herb, let’s move on to finding out the answer to the question of which strain is considered to be the most effective.
When it comes to clinical studies, Tribulus Terrestris has undergone a number of these. The Bulgarian Tribulus Terrestris strain appears to be the most effective and the best as far as quality is concerned. This is backed up by Bulgarian tests that were carried out. Numerous athletes participated in these tests and were given the herbal supplement on a daily basis. A high number of them reported improved performance, strength, stamina, sexual performance, etc. Another study involved men ranging in age from 22 to 72. The majority reported improved sexual stamina, libido, performance, strength, and so on.
One of the reasons why natural remedies are often considered safer as medicinal alternatives in place of traditional prescription medications is because they are purported to not produce any side effects. However it must be noted that herbal remedies can and do produce some side effects that range in severity. For instance, Tribulus Terrestris has been known to increase menstrual bleeding and is not suitable for either women who are pregnant or for those who happen to be nursing. In males it has been known to increase the breast size. For these reasons alone it is important to discuss any alternative treatments with your doctor before you start taking them. I personally have tried a tribulus product before and found it to be quite useful - but also understand that it is not for everyone, so do your research well.
Despite these side effects Bulgarian Tribulus Terrestris continues to garner widespread interest and much acclaim, especially as an alternative treatment for those suffering with sexual dysfunction. Athletes praise the herb for its ability to improve their stamina and energy levels, aiding them in their quest to perform better in their respective sports. It is also known to help muscles heal faster which in turn speeds up muscle growth and strength.
