Tribestan – Bulgarian Tribulus Terrestris

Developed in the 1970s and 1980s after 16 years of researchby many

scientists at the Chemical Pharmaceutical Research Institute in Sofia

Bulgaria. The research expanded on the herb and herbal species, creating

a proprietary technology and methodologies to extract the valuable

components of a wild herb.

Further R&D efforts included incorporation in a tablet form of a substance

greatly affected by absorbed humidity. Tribestan was approved for

production and implemented in mainstream practice in 1985, and

on the market ever since. The product is practically non-toxic and

has no side effects – no changes of lifestyle required when accepting

Tribestan. Tribestan is natural and safe. Tribestan is based on a

proprietary extract from Sopharma and the active substance does not

contain herbal particles.

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 (not less

than 45% in Tribestan), with prevailing quantity of protodioscin. Over

25 years of experience with natural herbal Tribestan administration

has seen no toxicity and negative effects to date.

Formulation and Active Substance Content

Tribestan is an original non-hormonal preparation of plant origin. Its active components are steroid

saponins of furostanol type isolated from the epigeous part of the Tribulus terrestris L. plant. The

preparation has been standardized on a base of the predominating compound, protodioscine, not less than 45%.

Dosage and Mode of Application

In men: The dosage and duration of treatment are being determined by the character and severity of the

condition. Most often, the dose is 1 – 2 tablets of 250 mg 3 times a day with meals. The duration of the

therapy in some cases should be at least 40 – 50 days.

It is known that a period of at least 80 days is needed between the spermatogonial division and the

formation of a mature spermatozoon. This imposes the necessary minimal therapeutic cycle to be

80 – 90 days.

In women: The treatment is strictly individually adjusted and depends upon the severity of the condition.

The usual dose is 1 – 2 tablets of 250 mg 3 times a day with meals. The combined administration of

Tribestan with ovulation stimulating preparations is recommended in some cases.

Use during Pregnancy or Lactation

The animal experiments showed that Tribestan possesses a very low toxicity. No evidence of any

carcinogenic, embryotoxic and/or teratogenic effect was found. However, the preparation must be

discontinued whenever a pregnancy is established.

Cautions and Specific Warnings

In treatment of women the transition from the effect-achieving to the maintenance dose must be

gradually realized. The abrupt reduction of the dose that achieved the effect results in a renewed triggering

of the whole complex of signs and symptoms.

Regimen 1

Tribestan is usually prescribed in a dose of 2 tablets 3 times per day for 20 days. Thereafter, the dose

is being reduced by 1 tablet every 4 – 5 days to reach maintenance dose of 1 tablet 2 times a day

whereas the term of treatment depends upon the achieved effect.

Regimen 2

Alternatively, Tribestan may also be administered in a dose of 2 tablets 2 times per day for a 30-day course

with a following dose reduction to 1 tablet 2 times daily every 4 – 5 days.

Regimen 3

Tribestan may be administered in a dose of 1 tablet 3 times a day continuously for a longer period of time

(up to one year).

Use in bobybulding and recreational sport

Tribestan dosage varies considering the goals of the individual as it is used by endurance athletes,

bodybuilders, cyclists etc..

Typically a bodybuilding

Dosage requires 5 to 6 tablets per day for individuals over 180lbs (up to 8 tablets are took by hardcore

bodybuilders). Under 160lbs the individual can take 4 tablets per day  It is recommended to take 2 tablets

at a time (this typically elevates testosterone more efficently for bodybuilders), for example 2 tablets in

the morning, 2 after training and 1 or 2 before bed.

Tribestan is active in the body for approximately 8 hours, so you need to take it 3 times per day to ensure

that your body continually releases luteinizing hormone, which results in testosterone production.

Testosterone levels can be elevated by as much as 40%.

Cycling:

It was established empirically (at Sopharma Pharmaceuticals) that cycling of Tribestan, 8 weeks on and

2 weeks off being the most commonly used cycle, enhances the effects of the product in some individuals.

Tribestan is took by many every day all year round with incredible results.

Like many bodybuilding products a typical cycle for maximum gains in lean mass is 8 weeks.

Gains of up to 1 stone in lean mass are reported with an 8 week cycle of Tribestan!  Many of our customers

use this cycle time and time again with dramatic results!

Tribestan is also used by thousands of bodybuilders worldwide after a Steroid Cycle known as Post Cycle

Therapy (PCT).  This rapidly elevates natural testosterone levels helping to retain muscle mass gained on

cycle. A 4 week cycle of Tribestan is commonly used.

Dramatic strength increase and mass

Dramatic improvements in performance are seen within the first 30 days, many customers have reported

back with a 30 kg increase in bench press and 1 stone of lean mass.

Permanent results achieved

The incredible results achieved are permanent.  This is because ‘muscle memory’ is induced so that your

muscles permanently remain at their newly developed state.  Ligaments and cartilage also grow and are

strengthened during supplementation.

Increased endurance

By increasing your workout intensity and delivering more oxygen to your muscles, your workouts will

be more productive and with incredible muscular pumps, you will feel the veins popping out of your arms.

Ideally 4 to 6 tablets per day for endurance athletes.  Dosage will be dependant on the amount of endurance

training.  Customers of ours who are Olympic athletes use a typical 4 to 6 per day.
