But it is believed that it works by regulating hormones via the liver, especially hormones that influence your reproductive system. Though it does not necessarily increase levels of testosterone directly, it helps regulate it, by making it more active.
Tribulus terrestris will help increase greater production of testosterone when you are not able to produce enough, which, in some cases, may be as much as 20 to 30 percent. An interesting fact is that when you have more production of testosterone levels in your body, it will have the opposite effect, helping to reduce the levels, for which it is safer than other drugs for boosting testosterone levels without any limits.
