What is Tribulus terrestris? Tribulus terrestris is an herb used in Traditional Chinese Medicine for the treatment of eye trouble, edema, stomach ailments, and sexual dysfunction. It is also used in Indian Ayurvedic medicine for the treatment of impotence and infertility, urogenital disorders, cardiovascular diseases, inflammation, and chronic pain.[5] Of the more than 70 compounds found in Tribulus terrestris, the most common include steroidal saponins and flavonoids, which are contained in the root and the fruit of the plant and appear to be largely responsible for its antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, and neurological properties.[6] The particular composition of Tribulus terrestris largely depends on its geographical origin.[7] What are Tribulus terrestris� main benefits? Tribulus terrestris is commonly claimed to have aphrodisiac properties. There is indeed some evidence that it can improve sexual desire, increase sexual satisfaction, and reduce symptoms of erectile dysfunction (ED) in men[8][9][4][10] and enhance libido in women.[11][12] These effects seem to be most prominent in people who are experiencing some form of sexual dysfunction. Current evidence fails to support that claim that Tribulus terrestris elevates testosterone levels.[13][14] Tribulus terrestris may also have benefits for reducing blood pressure and cholesterol[15][16] and for reducing blood glucose in people with diabetes,[17][18] though evidence is limited.
