HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Tribulus 1 g Unflavored by Nutricost

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 Jul 11, 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: tribulus terrestris extract, a plant compound used to support sexual function and athletic performance. There are no other active ingredients.

The product is a plain powder with no added inactive ingredients listed.

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).

Tribulus terrestris is possibly effective for sexual dysfunction — that's the main use it's studied for, though the evidence is mixed. For athletic performance, the data suggests it's 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.

Tribulus is generally well tolerated in the short term in healthy adults, but long-term safety data and quality control information are limited. Avoid this product during pregnancy because it may affect hormones and safety isn't established.

Also avoid it while breastfeeding — we don't have reliable safety data. Rare serious side effects reported include liver and kidney injury, seizures, and painful erection.

More common mild side effects are stomach pain, cramping, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and constipation, though in one study these occurred at similar rates in both tribulus and placebo groups.

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.

Check your blood pressure medication (antihypertensives), diabetes medication (antidiabetes drugs), and lithium before starting — all three are Moderate-severity concerns. The medication search tool on this page will help you confirm your exact drugs.

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.

Tribulus might be worth considering if you're interested in sexual function support and have no blood pressure, diabetes, or lithium concerns. If you're on any medications — especially blood pressure, diabetes, or mood stabilizers — check with your pharmacist first.

Long-term safety data are thin, so this is best used short-term.

Tribulus 1 g Unflavored by Nutricost: Common Questions

Does Tribulus 1 g Unflavored by Nutricost interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Tribulus 1 g Unflavored 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?
Tribulus 1 g Unflavored 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 advise against it. Tribulus may affect hormones during pregnancy, and we don't have reliable safety information for breastfeeding. Talk to your doctor or pharmacist about what's right for you.
What are the most common side effects?
Stomach upset — cramping, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, or constipation — has been reported, though in one study these happened at similar rates in both the tribulus group and placebo group. Serious side effects are rare.
Does this really work for sexual function?
Tribulus is possibly effective for sexual dysfunction — meaning there's some evidence, but it's not definitive. Results vary, and individual outcomes differ.
Is this safe to take long-term?
The safety data we have focus on short-term use in healthy adults. Long-term safety and quality control information are limited, so we don't have solid evidence for extended use.
Will this help me with sports performance?
The evidence suggests tribulus is possibly ineffective for athletic performance, so it's not a reliable choice for that goal.
