HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Organic Gokshura 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 27, 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.

This product contains one active ingredient: gokshura (also known as tribulus). Gokshura is a plant used traditionally to support sexual function and athletic performance.

The product contains no other inactive ingredients listed.

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: support kidney, bladder and urinary function.
  • We looked for evidence on: Kidney stones (nephrolithiasis), urinary tract health, bladder function, renal support.
  • The closest evidence on file: Tribulus is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Kidney stones (nephrolithiasis) (Natural Medicines).

Gokshura has possibly effective evidence for sexual dysfunction—meaning some research supports it, though more study is needed. For athletic performance, the evidence points toward possibly ineffective.

For benign prostatic hyperplasia (enlarged prostate), we don't have enough reliable evidence to say whether it works.

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.

Gokshura is generally well tolerated in the short term for healthy adults, but long-term safety data and quality information are limited. Serious side effects are rare but have been reported, including liver and kidney injury, seizures, and in one case, painful erection with sexual problems.

More common minor side effects may include stomach upset like cramping, nausea, diarrhea, or constipation—though in one study, these occurred at rates similar to 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.

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 taking this product, check with your doctor or pharmacist if you take blood pressure medications, diabetes medications, or lithium. Tribulus may lower blood pressure or blood sugar further, or raise lithium levels to unsafe amounts.

These are moderate-severity interactions worth confirming before you start.

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 may be worth considering if you're interested in sexual function support and don't take blood pressure medication, diabetes medication, or lithium. If you're on any of those drugs, or if you're pregnant or breastfeeding, talk with your doctor or pharmacist before starting.

Check your full medication list with your healthcare provider before adding this supplement.

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.

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.

Mild stomach issues like cramping, nausea, diarrhea, or constipation have been reported, though in one study these occurred at rates similar to placebo. Serious side effects are rare.

The evidence suggests it's possibly ineffective for athletic performance, so research doesn't support its use for that purpose.
