Tribex Gold Side Effects

Tribex Gold is a supplement designed to help its users increase muscle mass and energy levels, and speed up recovery times after workouts. The active ingredient in the product is Tribulus terrestris, an herb known to increase testosterone production in the body. As with any supplement, there is a chance of side effects occurring. The product is not designed to be used by women, especially those who are pregnant or nursing, those with preexisting health conditions, or those under 18. Before using this product make sure to consult a physician.

  1. Baldness

    • Baldness is a potential side effect of Tribex Gold use. The ingredients in Tribex Gold cause testosterone levels in the body to increase. In those who already produce a high level of testosterone, this can cause the body to have excess testosterone present. Over time, this excess amount of testosterone can cause baldness to occur. To avoid this side effect, make sure to have your testosterone levels checked before use.

    Acne

    • Using Tribex Gold can cause acne to develop or worsen. This is because high testosterone levels in the body can cause the body to produce more oil than normal. This oil is sometimes visually apparent on the skin, clogs pores, and leads to acne development. Avoid this side effect by bathing regularly and by following a sound hygiene routine. For small outbreaks of acne, there are several effective over-the-counter treatment options. In the case of more severe acne, consult your physician.

    Prostate Issues

    • Using Tribex Gold can cause prostate issues to occur or become worse, especially if the person using it produces a high level of testosterone naturally. The presence of too much testosterone in the body can cause the prostate to enlarge. This can be very painful, and is occasionally accompanied by difficult urination. Avoid this side effect by having a prostate exam and testosterone level check done before use.

    Behavioral Changes

    • Behavioral issues can develop in some people from the use of Tribex Gold, because of the testosterone increase it causes. Some of these side effects include depression, aggression, anxiety and other mental changes. If any of these issues arise while your are using Tribex Gold, discontinue use and contact your physician as soon as possible. If you have preexisting mental-health issues, consider using a supplement that does not boost testosterone levels.

    Liver Problems

    • Tribex Gold has the potential to cause liver damage if the dosing instructions are not followed. The liver filters excess testosterone from the body. If too much testosterone is present, the liver must work harder than usual to filter the excess testosterone. If this occurs for a long enough period of time, liver damage can result. In severe cases, liver failure may result. Those with preexisting liver conditions should not use Tribex Gold.
