<h4 class="dechead">On One Hand: Recognized Benefits
Tribulus increases testosterone levels. Higher testosterone levels increase muscle growth and strength, as well as encouraging the body to lose fat stores. Since tribulus increases testosterone levels, it is commonly used to enhance sexual function in cases of erectile dysfunction. It also has diuretic properties.
On the Other: Experts Disagree
Studies have produced contradictory information about the benefits of tribulus. One study, performed at the National University of Singapore, observed significant weight gain and improvement in sexual function in rats. Another study, conducted at Australia's Southern Cross University, found no significant muscle or strength gains in rugby players who took tribulus.
Bottom Line
For strength gains, the recommended dose of tribulus is 250 to 750 mg twice a day. One dose should be with breakfast, and the other dose should be 60 minutes before a workout. It isn't recommended for use on rest days. There is no standard recommended dose for erectile dysfunction.
