Stacking Tongkat & Tribulus - who here is on board and are there any staff anecdotes?

Original post in this thread

Lowering SHBG, enhancing 5AR activity and inhibiting aromatase in tandem would be pretty cool.

On paper this could be the consequence of stacking these two - although I think a short cycle may be best to assess affects.

Anyone here plan to stack this combo and do the ND team have any anecdotes?!

I've stacked them a few times. I like the effects. However, I have had more time stacking cistanche and tribulus. Those go really well together. I cycled off tongkat for a while, as I was dropping my E2 too low. It finally caught up to me. I was on 10% tongkat for a long time, though. I think when I added apigenin in, that's when I started to notice low E2 effects. Apigenin is a partial antagonist of the estrogen receptor. I was also taking our OptiNAD+, which has more apigenin in it. I cycled off anything with apigenin and cut out the tongkat for a bit. Now I am using cistanche without the tongkat, and it pairs well with tribulus. I just need to be doing something physical if I use the tribulus. If I take it and sit at the computer, I hate the effects. It's way too edgy and aggressive. If I am going to be outside doing physical labor, it's great, though!
