Hi,
quite abandoned topic although very interesting.
I've been using tribulus (max from aminostar) with very positive results prior to my diagnosis. I have used it also during my surveillance after IO to boost my testosterone levels which happened (see ny signature). I'va also experienced boost of my sperm counts (by 5x above normal) that were checked during cryo depostit prior starting my BEP.
I'm planning to use tribulus also after finishing my chemo to boost my TST.
Anyone else using Tribulus ?07 Aug 2014 - USG showed 5mm mass, bHCG: 6,45 AFP: 4,58

I actually used this supplement a few years ago, for bodybuilding/strength training purposes. I noticed no difference at all, but did not have levels checked before or after. Through research I found that most of these 'test boosting' supplements you can buy on shelves are garbage. It seems to me the only supplement that will have an effect is one prescribed by a doctor.
With all that said, I don't see any harm in trying different things out and see how they work for you.
Are you both experincing low T after just one testicle removed? or is it due to chemo?Comment

I was using Tribulus prior to my diagnosis, similarly for body building purposes. I've noticed slight difference only with version TribuMAX from Aminostar. After I/O I was taking tribulus with the aim to stimulate TST production. According to my blood tests my TST level was OK (I don't know it that was because of tribulus or not, though). I'm planning to check my TST levels also after finishing my BEP chemo.
P.S. apologies for brevity (I'm in rush to get a Bleo shot...).07 Aug 2014 - USG showed 5mm mass, bHCG: 6,45 AFP: 4,58
