If you read our articles and reviews on a regular basis, you will know that there are variousof supplements promising to increase testosterone, we tend to be very skeptical. And it's no wonder, because the vast majority of them are mere money grabbers. But there are exceptions. When I was offered to try Bestier Tribulus by Alavis, whose protein we were very impressed with in our last review, I didn't think long about it.
So how is their testobooster doing? Do we recommend it or is it just another unnecessary investment? Does it work out well in terms of price/quality ratio? Find out that and much more in our review today.
Content of the review
At the beginning, it remains to note that I received two packs from the manufacturer so that I could test the effect in the long term. The results of several weeks of testing will be presented in today's review.
The new form of the supplement is significantly better than the old one
When you look at the composition of this supplement, at first glance you will certainly be attracted by the extract of the fruit of the anemone, which is standardized to 40% protodioscin. In fact, protodioscin is the most important saponin that positively affects libido and potency. Ordinary preparations contain only around 20% protodioscin, only the original Bulgarian tribulus contains over 40%. Protodioscin has been subjected to many studies, unfortunately most of them have been carried out on animals and studies on humans have not yetHowever, we can mention that in rats, the use of protodioscin has led to an increase in the number of androgen receptorsin rabbits, and in rabbits there was a change increased nitric oxide production in the apical bodies. It should be noted that the difference in protodioscin content is really marked in terms of effect, so it is definitely worth paying extra for a quality supplement with a higher concentration of this saponin.
The second component of this supplement is zinc. While the first version of this supplement contained zinc oxide, which we certainly had reservations about, the newly updated version already contains zinc gluconate, although many retailers still haven't corrected the product label. It should be noted that this compound is significantly better than the oxide, not only because of the possiblebut the positive effect is also noticeable when you use it.
An effect that absolutely everyone will notice
In relation to the effect that has been observed, it is definitely necessary to say that in the case of protodioscin, it is not necessary to reach an advanced age to feel any effect. Although of course if your natural testosterone production is declining, the effect will be more pronounced. What I have noticed while taking this supplement is definitely more productivity during the day. Likewise, I've noticed better recovery even after hard workouts, however I have to admit that I only achieved this effect when taking two capsules a day. As demonstrated by many professional articles, the effects of anemone confirmed by scientific studies are indeed several, but frankly, the effect of anemone, for exampleon the removal of kidney stones when taking it, you will definitely not notice it unless you are seriously suffering from this problem.
Ultimately, however, I think that if I, as a young and active athlete, was able to notice the positive effect on energy and recovery after training, absolutely everyone can. And although I have tried several similar supplements, I have never been this satisfied with any of them.
How and when did I take tribulus?
I received two packs of this supplement from Alavis, so I first took the recommended dose (1 tablet per day), but then I doubled the dosage to keep the blood level of tribulus constant throughout the day. So I took one tablet in the morning and one in the evening before bed. Each time I took the anemone with food and washed down with plenty of water.
Price-wise, Bestier Tribulus is among the better average
For 60 capsules, and therefore 60 doses of Bestier Tribulus, you will pay , which is an absolutely average price. Of course, you can argue that some supplements cost a few hundred cheaper, but these are in the vast majority of cases supplements with very low content of active ingredients. On the other hand, it is important to remember that the whole package lasts for two months. As we remind very often, this supplement is definitely not necessary in any way, but for certain types of individuals it can be really useful.
Final assessment - A good but expensive investment
I think that a strong ground anchor like this can be a great choice for more than just older exercisersexercisers whose natural testosterone is waning, but also for anyone who wants to get the most out of their natural production. Likewise, this supplement is definitely a good fit for anyone with naturally lower anabolic hormone production. Of course, the overall impression is spoiled by the relatively high price, which, although by the standards of tribulusbut overall I think it seems very high to most athletes.
Unless you really need the supplement, I don't consider investing in it necessary. For young and inexperienced exercisers, however, it will definitely be a better choicea quality multivitaminmagnesium, zinc and protein. But if you have the extra funds and want to try a high quality anchor, Bestier Tribulus is definitely a good choice.
