Tribulus Supplement and Hair Loss
I am 41 year old with a history of succesful treatment of MPB with Propecia. Over the past 6 months I was taking a supplement (tribulus) to help with working out and muscle gains. It is a herb which is reputed to increase testosterone. It seems to me that my hair is losing some weight and thickness during the past 3 months or so. I am wondering if you think that such a supplement could negatively impact on hair?
It is difficult for me, as a physician who understands the classic drugs, to comment upon such substances which are not reflected or reported in standard PDRs (Physician Desk References are used for full disclosures of all FDA approved drugs). Based upon what I read in BodybuildingForYou.com, there is a clear suggestion that this botanical is stimulating hormone modification, some of it steroid like. That would mean that this supplement could caused hair loss.
I did not feel good after looking at USDA – Tribulus terrestris. Maybe I am just old fashioned. I try not to take anything that has such varied and powerful effects. I always point out that arsenic (another herbal) is very toxic. A single bubble of arsine (the hydride gas) can be fatal and it is this herbal that was promoted as the cure of syphilis by doctors some 100+ years ago (may have also killed some of the patients). It was a classic poison in many classic writings, and at the least, entertained thousands of readers of great literature.
I am a 65 year old male and let me tell you the Dr Max Powers Testosterone Booster works because I feel allot more energy and stamina,I recomend it for active men that do some exercises and workout,it makes allot of difference in your all around energy levels,it’s great. And no side efects at all.
I am on my 4th bottle; I use it for about a month, and then not use it for 3 months (really because I dont need it).
I have made it a hobby to study natural herbs and their effect on the human body. The Dr Max Testosterone Booster is an excellent buy. I have found cheaper brands to be inferior. It is a great product for increasing muscles, male enhancement, repairing damaged muscle, and providing energy and vigor.
