Tribugen | How We Took Tribulus To The Next Level This month, Emiel and Erika discuss the benefits of Tribulus Terrestris for energy, motivation, focus, and hormonal health. Making an effective stack takes more than just scientific research - this podcast episode focuses on the human element of stack creation, and why we spent so much time refining Tribugen until we got the effects profile just right. On this month’s podcast, learn more about: Tribulus Terrestris, Fenugreek, Dioscorea nipponica, and Cordyceps Monoamine oxidase A and B inhibitors Megadosing Tribugen How Nootropics Depot creates synergistic stacks Each ingredient in Tribugen was selected to compliment the stimulating and motivating effects of Tribulus, and in this episode Emiel discusses the mechanisms of action that are responsible for these effects. Before Tribugen made it’s debut, the team at Nootropics Depot tried a variety of Tribulus Terrestris extracts to find the most motivating but smooth extract that would shine as a stand-alone product. When making Tribugen, we wanted to increase the motivation benefits of Tribulus, but to smooth out the stimulation and edginess of Tribulus when taken on its own. After a year of bioassaying Tribugen, adjusting the dosages of the synergistic ingredients, and sharing the pre-released stack with friends, family and colleagues, we arrived at the finished product. If you are interested in learning more about this process, and the ingredients that make up the Tribugen stack, tune into this podcast episode!
