Abstract in brief

  • The review examines the herbal plant Tribulus terrestris (TT), traditionally used for its diuretic, tonic, and aphrodisiac properties, and its popularity among athletes for supposedly boosting testosterone and enhancing performance.
  • Based on analyzing multiple studies, the evidence indicates that TT does not significantly increase testosterone levels in humans, especially when used alone, though some animal studies showed minor effects.
  • The potential benefits of TT might stem from its ability to release nitric oxide, which could improve physiological responses without actually raising testosterone levels, challenging marketing claims about its performance-enhancing effects.]

@ercuuiktisat Testosteron üzerine bir etkisi asla bulunamadı , bahsettiğiniz şeyler direk NO salgıladığı için ortaya çıkar be insanlar bunu libidom arttı diye yorumlayıp Testosterona bağlarlar. Uzun süreli NO artışının sonuçlarını ise araştırın. https://t.co/lq7EADWOn8.
