Tribulus terrestris

Did you know?


Tribulus terrestris is a plant species from the genus of Tribulus. It is especially common in tropical and subtropical areas of Asia, Africa, southern Europe and northern Australia. The herbaceous plant can reach up to 100 cm shoot length and has yellow, five-petaled flowers.

In traditional Ayurvedic medicine, Tribulus terrestris is used as a tonic and is said to promote potency. In this context, terrestris is also valued for its anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial and antioxidant properties and is said to be beneficial to the cardiovascular system and increase testosterone levels. Other positive effects of Tribulus terrestris on the body include boosting the immune system, maintaining a healthy respiratory system, calming the nervous system, maintaining healthy blood iron levels, blood clotting and gum health, and promoting a healthy skin appearance. Particularly relevant to achieving these positive effects is the group of saponins.

Saponins are a subgroup of glycosides, represent secondary plant compounds and are particularly present in the fruit of the plant. In food, they are typically found mainly in legumes, beet, asparagus and sugar beet. Various scientific studies have investigated the effect of Tribulus terrestris on sexual function in women, showing significant improvements especially in premenopausal women1,2,3,4. In addition, another scientific study showed a reduction in blood pressure with the help of Tribulus terrestris5.
