Tribulus Terrestris

Herbal Supplements

Tribulus terrestris is a flowering plant with a long history of use in traditional medicine systems, particularly Ayurveda and traditional Chinese medicine. Research suggests it may support libido and sexual function in both men and women, with some studies indicating improvements in sexual desire and satisfaction, though results vary across populations. Its potential role in exercise performance has also been explored, but current evidence remains mixed, with most well-controlled studies showing limited effects on strength or body composition in trained athletes. Some preliminary research points to possible benefits for urinary tract health, including support for normal urinary flow. The fruit and aerial parts are most commonly used in supplement extracts, and while generally considered well-tolerated, individuals with specific health conditions should consult a healthcare provider before use.
