How Tribulus Terrestris works

Tribulus terrestris contains plant compounds called saponins, which are thought to have mild effects on sexual desire and wellbeing. Claims that it raises testosterone have not been confirmed in good-quality human studies, so any benefit is likely to be modest and varies from person to person.

What is Tribulus Terrestris used for?

• Men's vitality and wellness support

Tribulus Terrestris is a herbal supplement taken mainly by men for general vitality, energy and libido support. It comes from a plant long used in traditional medicine systems, including Ayurveda and Unani. It is not a licensed treatment for any disease, and it should not be used in place of a proper medical check-up when there are ongoing problems with erections, fertility or low energy.

Side effects of Tribulus Terrestris

Tribulus Terrestris is usually well tolerated. When side effects happen, they tend to involve the stomach and include:

• Stomach pain or cramps
• Nausea
• Diarrhoea
• Constipation
• Difficulty sleeping

Stop taking it and see a doctor if you notice yellowing of the skin or eyes, dark urine, pain in the side or back, or signs of an allergic reaction such as swelling or a widespread rash.

Precautions and warnings

• Problems with erections can be an early sign of diabetes, heart disease or high blood pressure, so speak to a doctor rather than relying on a supplement.
• Tell your doctor if you have diabetes, as Tribulus Terrestris may affect blood sugar levels.
• Check with your doctor or pharmacist before taking it with lithium, blood pressure medicines or diabetes medicines.
• Do not use it if you are pregnant or breastfeeding.
• Speak to your doctor first if you have a hormone-sensitive condition such as prostate problems, or kidney or liver disease.
