HelloPharmacist Scorecard of 100% Pure Tribulus by NutraBio

Our pharmacy team’s full take, with four database checks built into the cards below — a summary of what is known, not a grade of the product itself.

From our pharmacy team — supplement deep dive

What’s inside

Full disclosure
Ingredient Transparency · database check
Full

Every active ingredient lists its own amount on the label.

Why this rating?
  • The label discloses an exact amount for 1 of its 1 active ingredient.
  • No proprietary blends here — you can verify the dose of every single component.

This product is exactly what the name says: one active ingredient, tribulus terrestris, with no other fillers or binders added. Tribulus is a plant extract that's been studied for sexual function and athletic performance.

The powder form means you'll mix it with water or another beverage before taking it.

Does it work?

Not established
Evidence for Intended Use · database check
By FDA rules, dietary supplements can’t claim to treat, cure, or prevent disease — so labels speak in careful marketing language. We discern each product’s intended use from its name, label claims, and label statements, then grade the clinical evidence for that use. How these ratings are computed
Not established

The graded evidence we hold for these ingredients covers different conditions than the ones this product is marketed for, so there's no established rating for its stated use — see Tribulus's own graded uses on its monograph.

Why this rating?
  • The label markets this product for: growth hormone and strength support.
  • We looked for evidence on: Athletic performance, Exercise-induced muscle damage, Muscle mass, Testosterone support, Endurance.
  • The closest evidence on file: Tribulus is rated "Possibly Ineffective" for Athletic performance (Natural Medicines).
  • Also on file: Tribulus is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Exercise-induced muscle damage.

The evidence for tribulus centers on sexual dysfunction, where it's rated Possibly Effective—meaning some clinical evidence supports benefit, but it's not conclusive. For athletic performance, the data suggests it's Possibly Ineffective.

As for benign prostatic hyperplasia (enlarged prostate), we don't have enough reliable evidence to rate it either way.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Tribulus

How safe is it?

Well-documented data
Safety Information · database check
Well characterized

Adverse-effect, pregnancy, and general safety data are on file for most of these ingredients.

Why this rating?
  • We hold adverse-effect (side-effect) data for 1 of the 1 matched ingredient.
  • Pregnancy & breastfeeding safety ratings cover 1 of 1.
  • General safety write-ups exist for 1 of 1.
  • Remember: this measures how much safety information exists. Thin data is not the same as being safe.

Tribulus is generally well tolerated short-term in healthy adults, though long-term safety data are limited and quality varies between products. Serious side effects are rare but have been reported, including liver and kidney injury, seizures, and painful erection with sexual problems.

More commonly, people may experience stomach upset—abdominal pain, cramping, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, or constipation—though in one study these rates matched placebo. Don't use tribulus during pregnancy; the safety data advise against it because it may affect hormones.

The same applies to breastfeeding—there isn't enough reliable information to know it's safe, so skip it while nursing.

Side effects, ingredient by ingredient Tribulus

Meds to double-check

Why this rating?

  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Moderate.
  • Some involve high-stakes drug classes: diabetes medications; lithium.
  • For scale: 259 individual medications appear in the full list. A big number alone doesn't make a product dangerous — what matters is whether YOUR medication is on it, so run yours through the interaction checker on this page.

Double-check this supplement if you take blood pressure medications, diabetes medications, or lithium. All three carry Moderate interactions with tribulus that could affect how your drugs work or your safety.

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with no established evidence rating for its marketed use. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.

Tribulus might be worth considering if you're interested in sexual function support and you don't take blood pressure, diabetes, or lithium medications. If you're on any of those—or any other regular prescription—run it past your pharmacist first.

Long-term safety isn't well established, so think of this as short-term use only.

Tribulus is thought to have diuretic properties. Due to these potential diuretic effects, tribulus might reduce excretion and increase levels of lithium. The dose of lithium might need to be decreased.

100% Pure Tribulus by NutraBio: Common Questions

Does 100% Pure Tribulus by NutraBio interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, 100% Pure Tribulus has a known interaction with 259 medications. Use the checker to see how it interacts with a specific drug.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
100% Pure Tribulus contains a single active ingredient, and that one ingredient can interact with many different medications on its own. We check it against each medication and show the mechanism responsible.
Where does this information come from?
The product label data comes from the NIH Dietary Supplement Label Database (DSLD); the interaction data is built on the Natural Medicines database and reviewed by HelloPharmacist pharmacists.
Will tribulus actually help with sexual dysfunction?
The evidence says Possibly Effective—meaning some clinical research supports it, but results aren't definitive. It's worth discussing with your doctor whether it's a reasonable option for you alongside other approaches.
Can I take this if I'm pregnant or breastfeeding?
No to pregnancy—the safety data advise against it because tribulus may affect hormones. While breastfeeding, we don't have enough safety information, so skip it then too. Talk with your OB or midwife if you're considering it at any stage.
What are the common side effects I might notice?
Stomach complaints like cramping, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, or constipation are possible, though in one study they occurred about as often as with placebo. Serious side effects are rare but have included liver and kidney injury or seizures.
Is this safe to use long-term?
Short-term use in healthy adults is generally well tolerated, but long-term safety data are limited. Think of this as a short-term supplement, not a permanent daily one, and talk with your pharmacist about how long is reasonable for you.
What's actually in this powder besides tribulus?
Nothing—there are absolutely no inactive ingredients or fillers. It's 100% tribulus terrestris powder, straight up.
