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 capsule contains 2 active ingredients, both forms of tribulus terrestris extract. Tribulus is a plant used traditionally to support sexual function and athletic performance.

The product also includes inactive ingredients—hydroxypropyl methylcellulose, silica, vegetable magnesium stearate, and microcrystalline cellulose—which are the capsule and binding materials.

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 is rated possibly effective for sexual dysfunction based on the evidence we have. For athletic performance, the research suggests it's possibly ineffective.

For benign prostatic hyperplasia (enlarged prostate), the evidence isn't strong enough to rate it one way or the other. Keep in mind that the long-term safety data is limited, so what we know comes mostly from shorter-term studies.

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 for most healthy adults, but long-term safety data are thin. Rare serious side effects have been reported in the literature, including liver and kidney injury, seizures, and a painful prolonged erection.

Gastrointestinal upset—stomach pain, cramping, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, or constipation—can occur, though one study found these complaints occurred at similar rates in people taking tribulus and those on placebo. Avoid this product during pregnancy because it may affect hormones and safety hasn't been established.

Also avoid it while breastfeeding due to lack of reliable safety data. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist about whether it's right for your situation.

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 taking Tribulus 625 mg, double-check with your doctor or pharmacist if you take blood pressure medications (antihypertensives) or diabetes medications—both Moderate risk—or if you take lithium (Moderate risk). These are the drug types with documented interactions that matter most.

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.

Tribulus may help with sexual dysfunction based on available evidence, but it's not proven for athletic performance and evidence is unclear for prostate health. If you take blood pressure medications, diabetes drugs, or lithium, you need to check with your doctor or pharmacist before starting—this supplement can affect how those drugs work.

It's generally well tolerated short-term, but long-term safety isn't well studied, and it's not safe in pregnancy or while breastfeeding.

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.
Does tribulus actually work for sexual dysfunction?
It's rated possibly effective based on available research, which means there's some evidence supporting it, but it's not proven. Results vary from person to person, and more studies would help clarify how well it really works.
Can I take this if I'm pregnant or breastfeeding?
No—the safety data advise against it during pregnancy because tribulus may affect hormones and safety isn't established. While breastfeeding, there isn't enough reliable information either, so it's best to avoid it. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist about alternatives.
What side effects should I watch for?
Most people tolerate it well, but stomach upset—cramping, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea—can happen. Rare serious effects like liver or kidney injury and seizures have been reported. Stop taking it and contact your doctor right away if you experience severe symptoms or unusual pain or weakness.
Is tribulus safe to take long-term?
Short-term use seems generally well tolerated in healthy adults, but long-term safety data are limited. There isn't enough information to say how safe it is over months or years, so this is something to discuss with your pharmacist or doctor.
Will this help me build muscle or improve athletic performance?
The evidence suggests tribulus is possibly ineffective for athletic performance, so it's unlikely to give you a boost in that area. It's primarily used for sexual function, not for sports performance.
