Tribestan: A Plant Saponin

Tribestan is the component of Tribulu/Gokshura that makes it such a powerful herb. Tribestan is known as a saponin, which are natural chemical structures that have nutraceutical, or healing, properties.
Tribulus terrestris is an herb that has been used in the traditional medicine of China and India for centuries. The active compounds in tribulus are called steroidal saponins. Tribulus is most often used for infertility, erectile dysfunction, and low libido. In the last decade, it has become popular to improve sports performance. Since the body's natural testosterone promotes protein synthesis and positive nitrogen balance, the benefits for the professional or the recreational athlete engaged in active training and workout, are muscle cell growth and increased body strength as well as faster recuperation and recovery from muscular stress.

Tribestan is a completely natural non-hormonal herbal (phytochemical) biostimulator derived from the plant Tribulus terrestris L., Bulgaricum, which contains predominantly saponins of furostanol type, with prevailing quantity of protodioscin (not less than 45% in Tribestan). It is a natural herbal alternative to synthetic anabolic hormones without any clinically proven toxic effects.Tribestan administration leads to increased muscle mass in active sports by activating the enzyme associated with energy metabolism. At the same time it has also been reported to have the ability to stimulate some functions associated with the increase of the body's natural endogenous testosterone and lutenizing hormone (LH) levels.

Recommended dosage is 2 grams (½ - 1 teaspoon) three times each day with meals.
