What is the differance in the tribex gold and the blue?
listen bro i do not know a lot about gear and this is the reason why i am here to learn but about supplements i know a bit.......
the problem with tribulus is the extract of the herb this is the reason why we have inconsistent studies one says it works and the other it does not becasue use different type of tribulus.
there is cheap tribulus which is spiked with protodioscin (one of the active element which increase test); there is cheap tribulus without protodioscin. then there are product such as tribestan by sopharma and tribex gold which are extract of tribulus that contains not only protodioscin but the other compounds that deliver the test increase. believe me they work i did bloodwork after and i had a significant increase in test. The other thing is tha tribex is checked by chromadex as pure cee.
LJ100 is now a fact that increases test you can check on pubmed and google again you need the extract used in the studies 100:1
6-oxo again tested by uni and at that amount 600 mg does its work
about tribex gold and biotest; they have very expensive products and i believe overpriced but if you want quality of material then is what u get

this about tribex gold from their web
Most Tribulus products are either completely inactive or inferior herbal substitutes that are brainlessly spiked with protodioscin. Either way, you get the same result — nothing!
Tribulus that boosts Testosterone is only found in Bulgaria and contains many powerful compounds that are vital for results. All have to be present in precise amounts in order to achieve maximum effect.
None of the other companies talk about this because they're embarrassed to admit that their non-Bulgarian products are grossly deficient.
You can't take Chinese, or Indian, or "German" plant material and simply spike it with protodioscin to make real Testosterone-boosting Tribulus out of it.
That's too easy. That's too dishonest. That would be like packaging spiked lawn clippings and claiming it's real Tribulus.
So if you see ads that only tout protodioscin content, run! It's obvious these products aren't for anyone serious about boosting Testosterone. They're nothing but misleading hype! Don't believe them and don't waste your money.
TRIBEX contains the most potent, full-spectrum extraction of real, Testosterone-boosting Bulgarian Tribulus in the world. Each of the active compounds is present in the required amounts.
Clearly, manufacturing Tribulus, and other Testosterone-boosting extractions, is a serious and complicated business.
TRIBEX is the only super potent, full-spectrum Testosterone-boosting extraction of Tribulus terrestris in the world
In fact, TRIBEX Tribulus has just earned a #1 rating from ChromaDex, which is world renowned for its analytics of herbal materials. Here's what the president of ChromaDex had to say about TRIBEX Tribulus:
"We've tested hundreds of Tribulus terrestris samples and TRIBEX is the most potent, full-spectrum extraction we've analyzed. In fact, nothing else comes close to the rich and potent content of TRIBEX.
"Most of the Tribulus we test is either a poor-quality extract or a counterfeit that's been spiked with protodioscin-containing extracts, like fenugreek and wild yam. Just because a product contains protodioscin doesn't make it Tribulus.
"TRIBEX, in our opinion, is truly the most potent, full-spectrum Tribulus in the world."
