Reviews

Matthew

When I started going to the gym, I was advised Tribestan. So taking it for about two months, so far no side effects noticed. But the pros – Yes they are! It seems that even in training more energy appeared. In General, try, fear not! And about the impressions I will write later.

Thank

Tried Enanthate for mass. After the course gained 8 lbs (of course with proper diet). A friend was sitting on the Tribestan, the effect was much worse. Now interesting patch to try, still is. Guys, if anyone tried, tell us about the sensations and the result.

Egor

As for me, all of these drugs are only chemicals and benefit from it will not be exact. Well, this is assuming that testosterone is not medically necessary. A better way herbs, folk methods to improve their health. At least harm from them will not be exact.
