GNC Tribulus??

[Honeydew56]

Ok Guys- GNC's Tribulus is promoted to increase libido and testesterone levels. I am wondering about anyone's experience using this, did it work, how long did it take to see some results.
Hubby is thinking about starting this as he was told it would help maintain firmer erections.

From the FDA's list of top 10 health related frauds.

Fraudulent Sexual Aids.

Products promoted to enhance libido and sexual pleasure are not new. FDA officials recently cracked down on an entrepreneur selling Chinese "Crocodile Penis Pills" purportedly prepared according to a 2,000-year-old formula for rejuvenating male sexual prowess.

The FDA says no nonprescription drug ingredients have been proven safe or effective as aphrodisiacs and has acted to ban these products. Over-the-counter products that claim to increase the size of a man's penis or cure impotence or frigidity don't work. Serious health risks are associated with the use of such purported aphrodisiacs as cantharides ("Spanish fly"), a chemical derived from the dried bodies of beetles. Other ingredients of similar OTC products include strychnine (a poison), mandrake and yohimbine (poisonous plants), licorice, zinc, and the herbs anise and fennel.

Although male sex hormones, available by prescription, do influence libido and sexual performance, they have potentially serious side effects and should only be used under a physician's supervision. The agency advises that people with sexual problems should not attempt to medicate themselves but rather should seek treatment by a medical professional.

This seems to be a recurring theme on lit that really astounds me. There are people that on the surface seem rational and intelligent and then they fall victim to these scams. Which I have to admit causes one to really wonder about thier intelligence and rationality.

If your husband is having real erectile problems he should seek medical help. Not some pill made of ground dirt and weeds. In most cases it won't really help him, and the possibility always exists that the ground dirt and weeds will cause an adverse reaction. If his problem seems to be a more once in a while thing, well chaulk that up to getting older. A change of pace and routine is usually sufficient to revive a sagging stiffy.

We've gone to the Moon, we've sent probes to places like Jupiter and Saturn, we've built machines capable of travelling at 1000s of miles an hour, we've built a communications network that allows us to talk to virtually everyone on the planet in real time. Scientists are unlocking the secrets of the atom and subatomic particles. And yet we still have people that believe in ghosts and quack cures, spirit guides, psyhics and ufos. We stand on the brink of curing many diseases, on scientific breakthroughs which rival the invention of the lightbulb and the laser. And yet we allow creationism to be taught in our schools.

Want to revive your hubby's sagging stiffy? Take the money you would have spent on those pills and go buy him something for you to wear from Victoria Secrets. Surprise him by wearing when he gets home one night. Or go ahead and buy the pills, the primary ingredient, PLACEBO, just might help.
