HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Gokshura Powder by Vedic Care

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.

Gokshura Powder contains one active ingredient: gokshura fruit powder, a traditional Ayurvedic herb also known as tribulus. There are no inactive ingredients listed for this product.

The powder form makes it straightforward to measure and mix into water or food.

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

This product doesn't appear to be marketed for a specific use, so we graded Tribulus's overall clinical evidence instead.

Moderate

Some clinical evidence supports Tribulus for:

Why this rating?
  • We looked at the product name, claims, and label statements and couldn't find a stated purpose to grade.
  • Since the label doesn't commit to one use, we graded the ingredient's overall clinical evidence instead.
  • On file: Sexual dysfunction — rated "Possibly Effective" (Natural Medicines).

The evidence for gokshura in sexual dysfunction is rated possibly effective—meaning some clinical research supports its use, though more high-quality studies would strengthen the case. For athletic performance, the evidence leans toward possibly ineffective.

As for benign prostatic hyperplasia (enlarged prostate), the evidence is insufficient to rate it either way. If you're considering this for one of these purposes, talk with your doctor about whether it fits your situation.

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.

Short-term use in healthy adults is generally well tolerated, though long-term safety data are limited and quality varies between products. Rare but serious side effects reported include liver or kidney injury, seizures, and chronic painful erection.

More common side effects are gastrointestinal—abdominal pain, cramping, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, or constipation—though in one study these rates matched placebo. Avoid gokshura during pregnancy because it may affect hormones and safety is not established.

Also avoid it while breastfeeding due to lack of reliable safety data. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist before starting if you're pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or breastfeeding.

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 1 matched ingredient 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 you take gokshura, double-check if you use any antihypertensive drugs (blood pressure medications), antidiabetes drugs (diabetes medications), or lithium—all carry Moderate interaction risk with tribulus. Your doctor or pharmacist can review your specific medications and decide if this product is safe for you or if your doses need adjusting.

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with some supporting evidence behind its ingredients' uses. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.

Gokshura may help with sexual dysfunction, though the evidence is still developing. If you take blood pressure medications, diabetes medications, or lithium, you'll need to check this product with your doctor or pharmacist first—it can affect how all three work.

Quality and long-term safety data are thin, so it's best used short-term and under guidance. Talk it over with your own healthcare provider before you start.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Antihypertensive Drugs

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 Vedic Care: Common Questions

Does Gokshura Powder by Vedic Care 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 gokshura if I'm pregnant or breastfeeding?
No. The safety data advises against gokshura during pregnancy because it may affect hormones, and it should be avoided while breastfeeding due to lack of reliable safety information. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist if you're pregnant, planning pregnancy, or breastfeeding before considering any supplement.
What is gokshura used for?
Gokshura (tribulus) is used most commonly for sexual dysfunction, where it shows possibly effective evidence. It's also been studied for athletic performance, though the evidence suggests it may be ineffective for that purpose. For prostate health, the evidence is too limited to know either way.
What side effects might I get from gokshura?
Most people tolerate it well short-term. The most common side effects are gastrointestinal—abdominal pain, cramping, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, or constipation—though in studies these matched placebo rates. Rare serious effects like liver or kidney injury and seizures have been reported; if you notice unusual symptoms, stop and contact your doctor.
How long has gokshura been used safely?
While gokshura is well tolerated over the short term in healthy adults, long-term safety data are limited and product quality varies. It's safest to use it short-term and under guidance from your doctor or pharmacist.
Does this powder have any fillers or inactive ingredients?
No. This product lists only gokshura fruit powder with no inactive ingredients added.
Can gokshura affect my blood pressure or blood sugar medications?
Yes. Gokshura may lower blood pressure and blood sugar, so combining it with blood pressure or diabetes medications could increase the risk of dangerously low readings. Your doctor or pharmacist needs to review your exact medications before you start and may adjust your doses.
