HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Boost by UNALTERED

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.

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 2 of its 2 active ingredients.
  • No proprietary blends here — you can verify the dose of every single component.

Boost contains 2 active ingredients: tribulus terrestris extract and red maca root extract. Tribulus is traditionally used for sexual function and athletic performance.

Red maca root extract is similarly used for sexual health and general wellness. The capsule also contains several inactive ingredients — hypromellose, silica, and magnesium stearate — which are fillers and binders used to form and hold the capsule together.

Does it work?

Moderate evidence
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
Moderate

Some clinical evidence supports this product's ingredients for its stated purpose, but it isn't conclusive.

Why this rating?
  • The label markets this product for: boost drive desire enhance lubrication regulate hormones.
  • We looked for evidence on: Sexual desire, Sexual dysfunction, Erectile dysfunction (ED), Antidepressant-induced sexual dysfunction, Premature ejaculation, Male infertility — and 4 related terms.
  • The strongest evidence on file: Tribulus is rated "Possibly Effective" for Sexual dysfunction (Natural Medicines).
  • Also on file: Tribulus is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Erectile dysfunction (ED), Menopausal symptoms, Premature ejaculation, Male infertility.
  • Also on file: Maca is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Antidepressant-induced sexual dysfunction, Postmenopausal conditions.

Tribulus terrestris for sexual dysfunction is rated possibly effective. For athletic performance, the evidence suggests it is possibly ineffective.

For benign prostatic hyperplasia (enlarged prostate), there is insufficient reliable evidence to rate it. Red maca root extract has insufficient reliable evidence for all conditions tracked in our data — amenorrhea (absence of periods), anemia of chronic disease, antidepressant-induced sexual dysfunction, athletic performance, and osteoporosis.

In short, the data we hold does not establish that it works for any of these uses.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Tribulus Maca

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 2 of the 2 matched ingredients.
  • Pregnancy & breastfeeding safety ratings cover 2 of 2.
  • General safety write-ups exist for 2 of 2.
  • Remember: this measures how much safety information exists. Thin data is not the same as being safe.

Tribulus terrestris is often well tolerated short-term in healthy adults, though long-term safety data are limited. Rare serious side effects reported include liver and kidney injury, seizures, and painful erection with sexual dysfunction.

More common are stomach complaints like abdominal pain, cramping, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, or constipation — though one study found these rates similar to placebo. Red maca root extract is generally well tolerated as a food, but long-term supplement safety has not been studied.

Uncooked maca may cause stomach pain. The safety data advises against both ingredients during pregnancy and breastfeeding — neither has enough reliable information to know they are safe in those situations.

Side effects, ingredient by ingredient Tribulus Maca

Meds to double-check

Moderate interaction found
Known Interaction Concern · database check
Moderate identified

The most serious documented interaction for these ingredients is Moderate. Check your medications for a personalized result.

Why this rating?
  • 1 of the 2 matched ingredients can interact with medications — Tribulus.
  • 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.

Before taking Boost, double-check your medications. The most important ones to flag are blood pressure medications (antihypertensives) — tribulus can lower blood pressure further.

Also check if you take diabetes medication (antidiabetes drugs) or lithium. If you take any of these, your pharmacist may need to adjust your dose or monitor you more closely.

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with some supporting evidence for its stated purpose. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.

Boost may be worth considering if you're interested in tribulus for sexual function and your medications don't interact with it. However, if you take blood pressure medication, diabetes medication, or lithium, you need to check with your pharmacist first — the interactions are real and potentially serious.

Tribulus terrestris Extract3 drug types · 259 drugs

Antidiabetes Drugs

Taking tribulus with antidiabetes drugs might increase the risk of hypoglycemia.
Clinical research shows that Tribulus can lower blood glucose levels in adults with type 2 diabetes who are taking antidiabetes medications.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Antihypertensive Drugs

Theoretically, taking tribulus with antihypertensive drugs might increase the risk of hypotension.
Animal research shows that tribulus can lower blood pressure by inhibiting angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE). Tribulus has also demonstrated hypotensive effects in pre-hypertensive adults.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Lithium

Theoretically, tribulus might increase the levels and clinical effects of lithium.
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.

Boost by UNALTERED: Common Questions

Does Boost by UNALTERED interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Boost 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?
Boost contains 2 active ingredients, and an interaction can come from any of them. We check every ingredient, combine the results into one list per medication, and show which ingredient and mechanism is 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.
Can I take this if I'm trying to get pregnant or am breastfeeding?
The safety data advises against both tribulus and red maca during pregnancy and breastfeeding. There isn't enough reliable information to know they're safe in those situations. Please talk with your doctor or pharmacist about what's right for you.
What's the difference between tribulus and red maca in this product?
Both are plant extracts traditionally used for sexual health. Tribulus has some research suggesting it may help with sexual dysfunction, though the evidence is modest. Red maca hasn't been studied enough to establish what it does — we just don't have the data yet.
Does this help with athletic performance?
Tribulus is often marketed for athletics, but the evidence suggests it's probably not effective for that purpose. Red maca doesn't have enough data to say either way.
What side effects might I experience?
Most people tolerate it well. The most common complaints are stomach-related — pain, cramping, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, or constipation — though one study found these similar to placebo. Rare serious effects like liver or kidney injury and seizures have been reported, though they're uncommon.
How long have people been taking this safely?
Tribulus is often well tolerated short-term, but long-term safety data are limited. Red maca is generally well tolerated as a food, but supplement safety hasn't been studied long-term. We don't have robust data on years of use.
