Maca and tribulus extracts- any updates?

I am really eager to hear if there's been any progress on sourcing/extracting Maca. One of the most interesting supplements but the stomach issues turned me away and you have to take so much of it to get any effect.
Also, anything on tribulus? In the bodybuilding world a lot of people claim only tribestan is legit, I don't know if that is true.. I'll try and grab some to try but it sounds like bulgaria is having supply issues with it.
Still really enjoying this 50% HGW and something that acts even more acutely on libido like Maca would be a great combo.

I'm sure they're not all this bad, this seems a bit dramatic? I've heard many people say maca regulated their hormones, boosted their mood and libido. If it was all shit it wouldnt have those effects, even accounting for placebo. Unless there are other effects you want an extract to have and standardise for, using a larger amount of regular maca should do the trick. The heavy metals are a concern though

Well sure, it is a bit dramatic. There are vitamins and minerals in maca that will help people, even if there are little to no macamides. The issue with large doses is the heavy metals and undigestable starches. Trust me, you don't want to fuck your GI tract up with bad maca. I passed out from the pain, and I had a messed up GI tract for 6 months. It was no bueno. This is why it has taken me almost 10 years now to bring out a maca supplement. I won't release one till I can be sure it lives up to the quality people expect from us.
