HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Gokshura Powder by Banyan Botanicals

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

Generated from HelloPharmacist’s pharmacist-curated databases and editorial rules · Last generated Aug 6, 2026

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.

Gokshura Powder is a single-ingredient product containing tribulus, a plant traditionally used in Ayurvedic medicine. That's the only active ingredient in this powder—there are no inactive fillers or other added ingredients.

Does it work?

Insufficient 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
Insufficient

There isn't enough reliable clinical evidence to rate this product's ingredients for its stated purpose.

Why this rating?
  • The label markets this product for: kidney and urinary tract health support.
  • We looked for evidence on: Kidney stones (nephrolithiasis), urinary tract infections, urinary incontinence, chronic kidney disease.
  • The closest evidence on file: Tribulus is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Kidney stones (nephrolithiasis) (Natural Medicines).

Tribulus is possibly effective for sexual dysfunction, though evidence is modest. For athletic performance, the evidence suggests it's possibly ineffective.

For benign prostatic hyperplasia (enlarged prostate), we don't have enough reliable evidence to rate it one way or the other.

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 over the short term in healthy adults, but long-term safety data and product quality information are limited. Rare but serious side effects—liver and kidney injury, seizures, and cases of painful erection—have been reported.

Gastrointestinal complaints like nausea, cramping, and diarrhea can happen, though in one study they occurred at similar rates as placebo. The safety data advises against use during pregnancy because it may affect hormones and safety is not established.

Avoid it while breastfeeding due to lack of reliable safety information.

Even if you don't take these, run your full medication list through the checker on this page to be sure.

The bottom line

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

Gokshura Powder may be worth considering if you're exploring options for sexual dysfunction and don't take blood pressure or diabetes medications or lithium. If you do take any of those—or any other regular prescription—talk with your doctor or pharmacist first to see if this product fits safely into your routine.

Long-term safety data are limited, so keep that in mind.

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.

Gokshura Powder by Banyan Botanicals: Common Questions

Does Gokshura Powder by Banyan Botanicals interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Gokshura Powder 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?
Gokshura Powder 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.
Can I take this if I'm pregnant or breastfeeding?
No. The safety data advises against tribulus during pregnancy because it may affect hormones and safety is not established. Avoid it while breastfeeding too—there isn't enough reliable safety information. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist about what's appropriate for your situation.
Does it actually work for sexual dysfunction?
Tribulus is possibly effective for sexual dysfunction, meaning there's some supporting evidence but it's not ironclad. Results vary, and the evidence base isn't huge. Your own response may differ.
What side effects might happen?
Most people tolerate it without problems. Nausea, cramping, diarrhea, and constipation can occur, though in one study these happened about as often in the placebo group. Serious side effects like liver or kidney injury and seizures are rare but have been reported.
Does it help with athletic performance?
No—the evidence suggests tribulus is possibly ineffective for athletic performance. If that's your goal, this product is unlikely to help.
Is this supplement safe long-term?
We don't have strong long-term safety data on tribulus, and product quality information is limited. Short-term use in healthy adults appears okay, but use over months or years hasn't been well studied. Talk with your pharmacist if you're thinking of taking it regularly.
What is tribulus and what does it do?
Tribulus is a plant used traditionally in Ayurvedic medicine. It's in your bloodstream and may lower blood pressure and blood sugar, which is why it can interact with medications for those conditions. It's also thought to have mild diuretic properties—meaning it increases urine output slightly.
