Could a high dose of purified saponin tribulus extract as it was obviously used in the study at hand actually be a valid TRT alternative or even option?  No, this is not the 2015 study in trained boxers that found similarly surprising, because impressive benefits from tribulus terrestris (TT) supplementation ( read it ). It's a new study from the  Jerzy Kukuczka Academy of Physical Education  in Katowice, Poland (Wilk. 2016) that has no direct link to the previously discussed study from the   Shanghai University of Sport Affiliated School of Sports in China.

This alone makes the latest study from the Shanghai University of Sport newsworthy. The fact that the scientists actually observed significant and practically effects when they 'fed' their subjects 1.25g of a standardize...

Just to make sure you don't suffer from withdrawl symptoms until Adelfo posts the next update on his current contest prep , I thought I'd share a photo that shows where he is currently at - not bad for someone of whom a handful of you have been shocked to hear that he eats at least 200g carbs per day and ice-cream almost every evening, right? It's Thursday and before I'll get to a question on a very recent study I received via the SuppVersity Facebook page , I will brief you on the line-up of today's installment of the SuppVersity Science Round-Up on the Super Human Radio Network .
