Tribulus on empty stomach?

themanc84 · 01-Jan-2010, 11:36 AM

Does Tribulus really need to be taken on an empty stomach? That's what it says on the bottle, and I've heard people say it maximizes absorption. But I haven't been able to find anything concrete to support this. If anything all I've found is recommendations on taking it WITH food to prevent stomach discomfort. HCGenerate has Trib and it says take with food, and my Tribulus-Pro (750mg Trib + 750mg Avena Sativa) says take on empty stomach. Does it really matter?

I would try using it on an empty stomach first like it says on the bottle. If you get stomach discomfort like I have in the past, take it with food. All I can say.

interesting...both avena and tribulus need enzymes to cleave the
sugars off the steroidal-alkaloid molecules(avenocosides, and furostanol saponins
respectively). does anyone remember vyo-tech's viraloid? they claimed to have already pre-cleaved the sugars...any thoughts?
