This product is a mixture of the dry extract of Tribulus Terrestris and zinc gluconate. These substances belong to the "Testosterone Boosters", which directly or indirectly support the physiological action of this anabolising hormone.

Extracts of Tribulus Terrestris are used in traditional medicine in certain Middle and Far East countries for its diuretic effect to treat kidney stones, as agents against hypertension, hypercholesterolemia, to combat angina pectoris. Other actions of a sexual nature can be added to these (aphrodisiac, increased fertility, increased spermatogenesis and libido) due to reinforcing the action of testosterone by certain substances in Tribulus Terrestris (saponin steroids). The increased action of testosterone, at least in males, depends on an increase of the luteal hormone (LH), released by the pituitary gland (hypophysis), able to control the formation of testosterone, especially in the testicles. On the basis of this, the use of Tribulus Terrestris can also aid increase of muscle mass in sport, through the reinforcement of the testosterone action produced endogenetically by the human organism.

Zinc is an element that can support the action of testosterone and insulin (besides having an anti-oxidant action and supporting the immunity system). Certain recent research has shown a strict correlation between blood levels of zinc and of testosterone. The anabolising action of testosterone depends on good availability of zinc. However, the intake of zinc must not exceed 200-300 mg/day. These doses could cause anaemia, as iron is not absorbed, and also give rise to heart problems.

SPORT: on the basis of its effects, this product is considered a "testosterone booster" able, therefore, to support the physiological action of this hormone. It can be useful for athletes who wish to increase their muscle mass. In this sence BodyBuilding could be the ideal sport for using Tribulus Terrestris together with Zinc.

Dose: for average weight athletes, 6 capsules (equal to 0.9 g of Tribulus T and 22.5 mg of zinc) should be sufficient to produce the required effect. Do not exceed a dose of 50 mg of zinc in a day.

DAILY LIFE: the product could be used for those suffering from impotency and hypogonadism, due to low levels of testosterone, or as a general tonic (especially in the elderly).

Dose: 3-6 capsules per day.
