What is Tribulus Terrestris?

Tribulus Terrestris is an annual herbaceous plant native to Asia, Europe, Africa, and Australia, widespread in warm, tropical, and subtropical areas. It prefers arid, rocky, and sandy soils. It is a creeping plant with branched stems, small compound leaves, and distinctive five-petaled yellow flowers. The name derives from Latin: tribulus (spiny plant) and terrestris (of the earth), used for centuries in traditional Chinese and Ayurvedic medicine as a tonic and energizer.

In Indian Ayurvedic tradition, it is known as gokshura and is often used as a tonic for physical vigor, sexual health, and urinary tract support. In traditional Chinese medicine (bai ji li), it is used for the liver, as a cardiovascular remedy, and for fatigue.

In Europe, especially in the east (Bulgaria, Russia), it has been used for centuries as a general tonic and sexual stimulant, gaining significant attention since the 1990s when it was even adopted by Eastern European Olympic athletes as a natural supplement.

Composition and Active Ingredients

Tribulus Terrestris contains a rich and complex phytochemical profile:

• Steroidal saponins (including protodioscin, the most studied compound of the plant)
• Flavonoids (with antioxidant function)
• Alkaloids
• Resins and essential oils
• Minerals (potassium, polyunsaturated fatty acids)

What is Tribulus Terrestris used for? Traditional Uses

Tribulus has been used for centuries in various medical traditions. It is important to note that EFSA has not yet approved specific claims for this plant and that scientific evidence is still being explored.

• Tonic and energizer: traditionally used to combat physical and mental fatigue and as metabolic support.
• Tribulus Terrestris and testosterone: traditionally used as an aphrodisiac plant for both men and women. Steroidal saponins (protodioscin) have been studied for their potential role in hormonal stimulation. However, studies on healthy men remain conflicting and inconclusive regarding testosterone levels.
• Tribulus Terrestris for women: traditionally used for supporting female hormonal balance and well-being during menopause.
• Urinary tract and prostate: traditionally used as a natural diuretic and for urinary tract functionality. Also mentioned for the prostate, although medical consultation is always necessary in this area.
• Purifying and digestive function: in Asian tradition, used for renal, hepatic, gastrointestinal functionality, and abdominal bloating.
• Sports performance: popular among athletes and bodybuilders as a natural supplement. However, studies on its anabolic effect in healthy men have not produced significant results.

How to Prepare Tribulus Terrestris Herbal Tea

• Bring 200 ml of water to a boil.
• Turn off the heat, add 2-3 g of herbal tea cut (about a teaspoon).
• Cover and let it steep for 10-15 minutes. Strain and consume warm.

The infusion has a bitter and astringent taste and a yellow-green color. To soften the flavor, sweeten with honey or pair with mint, licorice, ginger, or a slice of lemon. It is recommended to have 1-3 cups a day, away from meals. To enhance the absorption of active compounds, accompany with a source of vitamin C.
