HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Tribulus 625 mg by BIOVEA

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

Low disclosure
Ingredient Transparency · database check
Low

Most active ingredients don't disclose an individual amount — you can't tell how much of each you're getting.

Why this rating?
  • The label discloses an exact amount for 0 of its 2 active ingredients.
  • “Proprietary Tribulus Blend” is a proprietary blend — the label gives one combined amount (625 mg) without saying how much of each component you get.

This product contains 2 active ingredients: Tribulus Terrestris extract and whole Tribulus Terrestris plant material, both forms of the same herb. Tribulus is traditionally used for sexual function and male vitality.

The capsule also holds inactive ingredients—microcrystalline cellulose, hydroxypropyl methylcellulose, silica, and vegetable magnesium stearate—which are fillers and binders that keep 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

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).

For sexual dysfunction, Tribulus Terrestris is rated possibly effective—the evidence supports benefit, but it's not ironclad. For athletic performance, the evidence tips toward possibly ineffective, so don't count on it for that goal.

For benign prostatic hyperplasia (an enlarged prostate), the data we hold isn't strong enough to rate either way.

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 short-term in healthy adults, but long-term safety data are scarce and quality varies. Serious side effects are rare but have been reported—liver and kidney injury, seizures, and a painful kind of persistent erection.

More common are stomach upset: abdominal pain, cramping, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, or constipation. In one study, these complaints happened at the same rate in people taking tribulus and those on placebo.

Avoid tribulus during pregnancy because it may affect your hormones and safety isn't established. Also avoid it while breastfeeding due to lack of reliable safety data.

Side effects, ingredient by ingredient Tribulus

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 start Tribulus 625 mg, double-check it with your pharmacist if you take blood pressure medications, diabetes medications, or lithium. Moderate interactions apply to all three.

Blood pressure and diabetes drugs carry the highest risk because tribulus works in the same direction—lowering pressure and blood sugar—while lithium needs careful kidney clearance that tribulus may interfere with.

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFormula with limited ingredient disclosure with some supporting evidence behind its ingredients' uses. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.

If you're interested in tribulus for sexual function and you're otherwise healthy without blood pressure, diabetes, or lithium use, this product may be worth a trial—but don't expect miracles, and watch for stomach complaints. Anyone on blood pressure meds, diabetes drugs, or lithium should talk with their pharmacist before starting; your dosing may need adjustment.

Long-term use isn't well studied, so don't plan to take it indefinitely without check-ins.

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.

Tribulus 625 mg by BIOVEA: Common Questions

Does Tribulus 625 mg by BIOVEA interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Tribulus 625 mg 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 625 mg 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 pregnant or breastfeeding?
No, the safety data advise against it. Tribulus may affect your hormones during pregnancy, and safety during breastfeeding isn't established. Talk with your doctor before using it if you're pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or nursing.
Does tribulus actually work for sexual function?
The evidence says possibly—it's rated possibly effective. That means studies support some benefit, but results aren't guaranteed for everyone. Individual results vary.
What side effects should I watch for?
Most people tolerate it fine, but stomach upset is the main concern—abdominal pain, cramping, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, or constipation. Rare serious effects like liver or kidney injury and seizures have been reported, though they're uncommon. Stop and call your doctor if you notice anything unusual.
Is this safe to take long-term?
Short-term use in healthy adults is generally well tolerated, but we don't have solid long-term safety data. The quality of tribulus products varies too. For ongoing use, check in with your pharmacist or doctor.
Will this help me build muscle or improve athletic performance?
The evidence suggests no—tribulus is rated possibly ineffective for athletic performance, so it's not a reliable choice for that goal.
