Q: If Tribestanol is so powerful and increases your own testosterone production, does it aromatize? Can you get "gyno" from taking it?

A: Absolutely not. In fact, the opposite is true. Tribestanol may normalize estrogen levels in the body. If your estrogen levels are too high, it will decrease them to normal levels. And if they are too low, Tribestanol will raise them to normal levels. Most people are worried about heightened estrogen levels, but if they are too low they can go into a catabolic state more easily. Low estrogen levels relate to low testosterone levels. If testosterone levels are low, the body will balance hormonal levels by also lowering estrogen levels. Using Tribestanol will increase testosterone levels around 40%, while at the same time normalize estrogen levels to enhance anabolic mechanisms for maximum performance and growth.

Q: Is it dangerous for women to take Tribestanol since it increases testosterone production?

A: Not at all. Women should take it. There have been clinical studies on menopausal women that show Tribestanol can reverse the effects of menopause. Testosterone levels in women become slightly elevated, but not enough to result in any masculinizing effects. They are able to lose body fat more rapidly, increase strength and lean mass with no water retention. Women will not experience any negative side-effects from Tribestanol use. However, they need to stop taking Tribestanol 5 days before their period or an entire pregnancy. Then they can resume. When luteinizing hormone levels increase in women, follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) does as well, to keep hormones in balance. (FSH levels do not increase in men). This has the effect of increasing fertility, thus there is more chance of becoming pregnant. However, cycling Tribestanol to match your hormonal cycle will allow you to acheive optimum health through elevated balanced hormonal levels. Remember, as we age our hormonal levels drop. Using Tribestanol can keep women looking younger and healthier because the balanced hormonal levels will match levels produced when they were in their early twenties.

Q: How effective is tribestanol for a very active 20 year old trainer. I have been advised that my testosterone is already at its peak?

A: You have been told correctly that your testosterone peaks around your 20’s but you have not been told that during the day your testosterone levels vary and depending on stresses on different days, so can your levels. If you average this out you may find your levels a lot lower than your peak level. Using tribestonal pro will not only increase your testosterone levels, but also keep it high, throughout the day and day after day. This constant high testosterone output will ensure your body stays in an anabolic enviroment, providing the stimulus for lean muscle gain.

Q: Hi guys, you say that you cannot get gyno from taking tribestanol, but with respect I have taken tribulus products before and I got 3cm of gyno from taking it. The one I took said it was the most potent with high levels of protodioscin. How does tribestanol differ from other brands of tribulus?

A: For a start you should not get gyno from a correctly cultivated tribulus extract. Unfortunately not many companies process the tribulus plant right to allow for the maximum benefit to be achieved. Some companies have even added synthetic saponins to try and boost their tribulus product. Most likely like the one you have taken. In the Bulgarian Tribulus extract we use, the active components have been found to be steroid saponins of furostanol type, in which two dominating furostanol bisglycosides have been identified as protodioscin and protogracillin. These two furostanols alone give tribulus its properties of being able to increase testosterone levels. Only extracts high in these two furostanols will enable increased testosterone while maintaining hormonal balance. An imbalance in one of the active furostanols will cause side effects associated with increased hormonal levels. Therefore, tribulus products claiming increased high levels of protodioscin may indeed act the same as other simulating testosterone enhancers by activating feedback mechanisms which in turn cause undesired side effects.
