I've long considered Python one of the most underrated and low-profile supplements on the market today.
Compared to its contemporaries, it's excellent, especially the price. Normally, a 60-tablet bottle runs $10. But, I've seen it marked down 50% at two different locations.
Here's a rundown:

Saw palmetto, ginkgo and guarana are the only decent ingredients .. Save money and avoid.

It's $5, hardly a wallet buster.
Plus, the Trib and Utica Diocia (in high dosages) work well. Other products with these ingredients cost a small fortune.

Water is free. And has more proven benefits.

Sadly, when vitaminshoppe has 50% off, the item is being phased out.

Trib seems to have a bad rep, but I like it. The original Tribex from Biotest gave me noticeable increases in strength and libido.

Not necessarily. Vitamin Shoppe has marked down a lot of RTDs to 50% off, over the years. Yet, few of them have been discontinued.
Plus, it's only the 60-tablet bottles that have been reduced. The 120-tablet bottles are regular price.

From what I've seen, Trib has a bad rep, because the studies cited have people using too little of the stuff. There was one study where the test subjects were using 1.5 g per pound of bodyweight.
That would be only 300 grams of Trib (less than half a tablet, in most cases) for a 200-lb guy; and I doubt the study was using 200-lb guys.
Plus, I don't recall if it mentioned the percentage of saponins. Usually 40% saponins is the bare minimum for a Trib supplement to be any good.

One can never have enough Oat Straw :-\

You may have to take more Python pills than Tribex pills to get similar results. Python doesn't have eurycoma longfolia; but, it does contrain Utica diocia (stinging nettle), which is reported to help free testosterone levels naturally.
