One of my favourite herbs - a great all rounder

I only discovered Tribulus terrestris earlier this year and now feel very fortunate to have stumbled across it whilst researching stress online. As a chronic fatigue syndrome sufferer I am constantly feeling fatigued and drained as well as being unable to cope with stress. I wanted something to give me a boost and allow me to cope more easily with day to day tasks. Tribulus gave me results better than I would ever have expected. After taking one 750mg tablet per day for 5 days I really began to feel a sense of well-being and I was able to cope with a lot more without becoming stressed. I had not felt such a powerful stress relief effect before except with DHEA supplements. Unfortunately I was unable to continue with DHEA due to liver complications. Unlike DHEA however, Tribulus actually improves liver function along with its stress relieving effects. I contantly have pale coloured stools accompanied by abdominal pain which is associated with poor liver function. Taking Tribulus leaves my stools a nice healthy brown colour and stops the abdominal pain/inflammation within a day or two. I was so amazed by this that I checked the available research and there are indeed a number of studies indicating that Tribulus has powerful beneficial effects on the liver.

I've been taking this herb at the same dose for a number of months now and continue to feel the benefits without experiencing any side-effects. Tribulus is now available from most healthfood stores and prices although higher than some herbs are not bad and well worth paying.
