The bottle makes it look like something you would put in the engine of a car. I still don't see anything in the ingredients to show that it would be worth buying, maybe someone more experienced with supplements could answer this better than I could.

Ingredients: Water, Tribulus Terrestris (Viraloid), Dextrose, Arginine Peptide, Tribulus Extracted Sterols, Magnesium Gluconate, Natural Flavours, Zinc Sulphate, Vitamin B6, Sodium Benzoate, Brilliant Blue 133.

So ''Tribulus Terrestris'' is the ingredient that is supposed to increase testosterone levels, however, some studies have proven otherwise.

If possible, I would stay away from anything that would affect your test levels esp if you're young. But if your mind is made up on trying a trib supplement, I suggest trying USP Prime, Animal Stak or my fav Muscle Pharm Battle Fuel.

according to Wikipedia Tribulus Terrestris is "is now being promoted as a booster for the purpose of increasing sex drive"

and if you read the second review on the product page some guy is saying his "sex drive went through the roof"

Anybody can write those reviews, Wikipedia isn't great either because anybody can edit the pages. However, the links at the bottom of each Wikipedia article are very useful, that is where I got the links to those studies from. Regardless of what the reviewer thought, I think it would be stupid to pay $90 for a supplement that isn't 100% proven to work.
