urine analysis help;

so my buddy just got out of jail, and he wants to know if ashwagandha or tribulus will make you fail a urine analysis for any reason. Thanx

Well since the search is now updated and fixed, you may find that it works well. Good luck!

umm how is that going to help me? there aren't exactly a lot of threads on urine analysis especially ashwagandha, so I hoping someone who knew what they were talking about would reply. thanx

Lol, there's lots of questions asking about this. I've seen quite a few since I've been a member.
The tests will not show up on a standard piss test and it's doubtful they would even show up on blood tests for hormones :rolleyes:

once someone shows that those supplements actually do something that changes blood or urine content I would like to know.

Well what type of test are you taking? About 99% of civilian piss tests do not check for hormones. Plus, tribulus is arguably potent enough to alter anything but the cost of your piss.
EDIT: The reason they don't test for hormones is because the cost is extremely higher than just testing for the more common drugs like *******, weed, opium, etc. I would take about 5 times the normal dose, go in for the test and not worry one ounce. I'd worry more about driving in the rain than pissing positive for anything (which doesn't say much, imo).

Yep, it's just WAY too expensive to test for hormones/steroids....
Someone on here said it costs like $500...or $300 per person to test for Steroids???(dont know if that's exactly right or not...but I know it's expensive)

Standard piss test checks for Coke, Pot, Heroin, other Opiates, Meth...etc.
I've heard Ephedrine can pull a Positive Result from a piss test and comes up as Speed(methamphetamine...) However speed/ephedrine is out of your piss the Same day or Next day....


BTW: Not to change the subject, but does anyone know if standard drug tests will show up ********,Vicodin or other prescription drugs?? I know they only stay in your system 1 to 3 days anyways....but I was just curious.
I was lead to believe that THEY show up as Heroin(since it's the same thing technically...)

Can anyone confirm this?

As of a year or two ago, it cost around $300. I think that this thread needs to be a sticky or just scrolling across the top or something. This question comes up way too often.

I don't know what ashwagandha is, but tribulus exerts its effect by increasing LH production, thereby promoting increased testosterone production by the leydig cells in the testes. There is no way that will show up on any sort of drug screen. As for the ashwagandha, I have no idea...

Ashwagandha is just that dude sneezing and hitting the keyboard at the same time :D

The reason that synthetic opiate painkillers work is that they activate the same neuro receptors as real opiates like heroin. The reason they are able to stimulate those receptors is because their chemical structures are very similiar and so they will have very similar products of metabolism in the urine which will give you the positive and even though the drug itself is metabolized relatively quickly the products of metabolism can stay in the body for as long as thirty days in some individuals.

Short answer: Yes, Vicodin, ********, Oxycodone, Oxycontin, Tylenol 3, Loritab and any other codeine based opiate will pop on a drug test

poppy seed bagels will show up too, as opiates i believe.

Right on the money. I work for a very large government organization with lots of tanks and guns and cool **** like that. We cannot afford to a tweeker rolling down the street in an M1A1 looking for the five o'clock free crack giveaway.

One of my additional jobs is to run the drug testing program in my unit. I have been doing it for a couple of years and only seen one test for steriods given and that was after we found them in the dudes room. The test has to go to a different lab and cost alot more than the normal test. However, if it shows up on an Olympic screen it will show up in ours. But I can't think of any state or federal organization that would go to the extreme testing end to test for roids without probable cause. That being said, oppiates the other poster mentioned of course will show. I don't know about the 30 residiual window though. As I recall that is a bit on the long side.

By the time you ate that many poppy seed bagels you would be the size of 80's Oprah.

so if one get a blood test to check hormones and they took tribulus, it would show as their test levels being alittle higher, not that they are taking something right? How long would it take without taking something like tribulus, to get test levels back to normal so when getting a blood test it would be testing one's true levels?
