Tribulus terrestris

So, is he taking this to bulk up while lifting weights? I haven't researched much about this, but it is supposed to be a natural atlernative to steroids for improved muscle growth. My ex-boyfriend was considering taking this, I'm glad he didn't because he is already overly testral. I beleive it stimulates testosterone production and just like anything, if he uses too much, his body may become hyper or hypo productive of neccesary hormones. He may be taking 3 times the correct dosage to try to boost size gain, is that correct?
I also beleive "getting off" 5-10 times a day is excessive and for a sexual partner, intimidating and frustrating. My ex had this occuring without tribulus, and it was very trying. I beleive he has a adrenalin and kidney disorder that was very much part of why this was occuring. Also, did you know him before he was taking this supplement? Has he struggled with depression, has he always been needing as much ejaculation everyday? Who he was before is greatly tied to who he is now. Also, for him to be taking so much, he may have extreme goals and expectations for fitness and muscle mass. It can't all be blamed on Tribulus, bottom line is he's overdoing it and needs help seeing how to regulate his needs and expectations better.
Good luck.

Although it is a natural product (unless it has other things added to it) this is a strong herb. Why is he taking it?
It sounds like it is affecting his liver (depression) and excessive libido etc.
How old is he?
Too much testosterone is not good. It can lead to other health problems, male pattern baldness (that may put him off taking them!) and sometimes excess testosterone actually turns into estrogen in the body (this happens to body builders who take steroids) and can then actually lead to muscles loss and the development of female characteristics including breasts. There are a few things to make him curtail his intake or stop it all together.
let us know how it goes
