Here's a recent study on Tribulus... I never believed that it worked and this study just proves it.

1: J Ethnopharmacol. 2005 Oct 3;101(1-3):319-23.
The aphrodisiac herb Tribulus terrestris does not influence the androgen production in young men.

OBJECTIVE: The aim of the current study is to investigate the influence of Tribulus terrestris extract on androgen metabolism in young males. DESIGN AND METHODS: Twenty-one healthy young 20-36 years old men with body weight ranging from 60 to 125 kg were randomly separated into three groups-two experimental (each n=7) and a control (placebo) one (n=7). The experimental groups were named TT1 and TT2 and the subjects were assigned to consume 20 and 10 mg/kg body weight per day of Tribulus terrestris extract, respectively, separated into three daily intakes for 4 weeks. Testosterone, androstenedione and luteinizing hormone levels in the serum were measured 24 h before supplementation (clear probe), and at 24, 72, 240, 408 and 576 h from the beginning of the supplementation. RESULTS: There was no significant difference between Tribulus terrestris supplemented groups and controls in the serum testosterone (TT1 (mean+/-S.D.: 15.75+/-1.75 nmol/l); TT2 (mean+/-S.D.: 16.32+/-1.57 nmol/l); controls (mean+/-S.D.: 17.74+/-1.09 nmol/l) (p>0.05)), androstenedione (TT1 (mean+/-S.D.: 1.927+/-0.126 ng/ml); TT2 (mean+/-S.D.: 2.026+/-0.256 ng/ml); controls (mean+/-S.D.: 1.952+/-0.236 ng/ml) (p>0.05)) or luteinizing hormone (TT1 (mean+/-S.D.: 4.662+/-0.274U/l); TT2 (mean+/-S.D.: 4.103+/-0.869U/l); controls (mean+/-S.D.: 4.170+/-0.406U/l) (p>0.05)) levels. All results were within the normal range. The findings in the current study anticipate that Tribulus terrestris steroid saponins possess neither direct nor indirect androgen-increasing properties. The study will be extended in the clarifying the probable mode of action of Tribulus terrestris steroid saponins.

I've been taking Tribulus for nearly 7 weeks now and IT DOES WORK ... My sex drive is through the roof and my erections harder than ever and I think it does do something positive ... studies have been done to indicate tribulus does work.

I think you MUST BUY THE CORRECT ONE ... makesure you read carefully what percentage of seponins are in the pills ... most are 40% which is trash, I get a brand from the UK which has 80% and 40% of the Prostadinins [spelt wrong I think] which is VERY HIGH and what you need from the tribulus to get the great effects.

Also all that about the Bulgarian Tribulus being the best is BULL ... it isnt, just that the Bulgarian lifters myth started and it all went from their ... I have used Bulgarian and Indian tribulus and both work well.

Take anywhere from 750-1500mg per day for a good dosage and think about cycleing it also, its debated what it can be better doing this.

For me anyways Tribulus works ... tried and tested.
