Bulgarian tribulus scam
Original post in this thread

I made a purchase for Boldanic Tribulus as recommended by another redditor on here and never got an order confirmation. Pretty sure it was a scam. Then I realized there are a lot of test boosting/tribulus websites that look questionable. The main appeal is the Bulgarian Tribulus but NootropicsDepot admitted this would be 3 to 4 times more expensive so they didn’t use it. I did buy there product because the con of getting Bulgarian Tribulus is fake sites and high pricing if it is legit.

When I was saying it would be 3-4X more expensive, I was not talking about that brand/extract. I was referring to one of our suppliers that has an origin-verified Bulgarian Tribulus. They are much more expensive because they do all this extra tracking, verification, and testing. We beta tested some of their extracts, and we just didn't like them as much. It's not the protodioscin that's causing those other effects, because our extract actually has more than the ones we tried. It has to be something else in the plant. Our hunch is beta-carbolines. The thing is that I don't like just carrying something else without knowing what is different about it. I would want to elucidate exactly which compounds were causing these other effects, quantify them, then standardize to them. I am not opposed to that, but I am not just going to bring out another 15-20% protodioscin Tribulus from Bulgaria just because it claims to be from that country. As /u/Pretty-Chill said, anyone can claim anything. There are no lab tests to validate country of origin, and I would bet many people are just buying Chinese Tribulus and calling it Bulgarian. Nobody would be able to prove one way or another. Gator don't play that shit!
