Tribulus Terrestris Extract

A traditional herbal extract that supports male energy, healthy libido, and physical stamina.

What it is

Tribulus Terrestris Extract is derived from the fruit and leaves of a plant used for centuries in Ayurvedic and Mediterranean traditions. It contains plant compounds called steroidal plant compounds (saponins), particularly protodioscin. Tribulus helps support natural blood flow, physical stamina, and male sexual vitality without artificially disrupting your body's natural hormones.

Also known as: Puncture Vine, Tribulus, Gokshura

Key benefits

  • Supports male sexual vitality, healthy libido, and performance, so you feel confident.
  • Promotes natural nitric oxide production, which supports healthy blood circulation.
  • Assists physical energy and stamina during exercise, helping you stay active.

Amplified by probiotics

The plant compounds in Tribulus are bound to complex natural sugars that make them hard to absorb on their own. Friendly gut bacteria like Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium break these sugars apart, transforming Tribulus into active forms your body can easily absorb. Probiotics also protect your gut lining, helping active plant nutrients reach your circulatory system.

Typical dose

250–750 mg/day (made to a consistent strength of 40–60% plant compounds)

The evidence

Evidence: moderate

Well-controlled human studies confirm that made to a consistent strength Tribulus terrestris extract significantly supports male sexual health, circulation, and satisfaction (GamalEl Din et al. 2019, Aging Male; Kamenov et al. 2017, Maturitas). Sports science studies also show it supports post-workout recovery and healthy nitric oxide levels.
