I tried many products(for a full month)including B vitamins, multi-vitamins, ginseng, guarana, added protein (as i already had a fairly healthy diet)and nothing had any positive effect; if anything they actually made me feel worse. In the end (and despite my embarrassment - as it is used to increase libido) I bought this product reading that it may increase self esteem. I noticed a difference after just 5 days after taking the max dose. I felt generally happier and more confident, and felt like i could just be myself. And to this day i say that it is the ONLY product i would truly recommend from H & B. I have read that it only increases testosterone levels in small amounts, and perhaps because i was overtraining and stressed I had lower than normal testosterone levels and so the small increase made all the more difference to my moods.

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.
