HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Tribulus 625 mg by DC

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.

Tribulus 625 mg contains one active ingredient: tribulus terrestris extract, a plant-derived compound. The capsule also holds gelatin, cellulose, and magnesium stearate — these are inactive ingredients that help form and stabilize the supplement.

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 shows possibly effective evidence for sexual dysfunction — that's the main use people reach for it for. On athletic performance, the evidence points toward possibly ineffective, meaning it's unlikely to boost strength or endurance.

For benign prostate enlargement (BPH), we don't have enough reliable evidence in our data to rate it 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.

Short-term, tribulus is generally well tolerated in healthy adults, but the quality and long-term safety data are limited — we just don't have a lot of long-term studies. Most people who take it orally don't report problems, though some have had abdominal pain, cramping, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, or constipation at rates similar to placebo in one study.

Serious side effects are rare but have been reported in individual cases, including liver and kidney injury and seizures. You should avoid tribulus during pregnancy because it may affect hormones and safety isn't established.

Also avoid it while breastfeeding because we don't have reliable safety information for nursing infants.

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, double-check it with antihypertensive drugs (blood pressure medications), antidiabetes drugs, and lithium. These carry Moderate risk of dose or level changes.

If you take any of these, we need to review your specific medication before you add tribulus.

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 looking into sexual dysfunction support and don't take blood pressure medication, diabetes drugs, or lithium. If you're on any of those — or any prescription at all — check your specific medications first.

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 DC: Common Questions

Does Tribulus 625 mg by DC 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 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 advises against it. Tribulus may affect hormones and safety in pregnancy isn't established. While breastfeeding, there isn't reliable safety information for your infant, so it's best to skip it during nursing too. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist about alternatives if you're thinking about tribulus during these times.
What does tribulus actually do?
Tribulus shows possibly effective evidence for sexual dysfunction. For athletic performance or strength, the evidence suggests it's probably not going to help. If you're interested in it for prostate health, we don't have enough reliable evidence to say one way or the other.
What are the side effects?
Most people tolerate it well. Some report stomach issues — abdominal pain, cramping, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, or constipation — but those rates matched placebo in one study. Serious side effects like liver or kidney injury and seizures are rare but have been reported in individual cases.
Is this safe long-term?
We don't have strong long-term safety data. Short-term use in healthy adults is generally well tolerated, but quality and long-term studies are limited. If you're thinking about taking it regularly, that's something to discuss with your pharmacist.
Will this affect my blood sugar if I have diabetes?
Tribulus can lower blood glucose levels, so yes — it may affect your blood sugar if you're on diabetes medication. That's why it carries a Moderate interaction risk with antidiabetes drugs. Your dose might need adjusting, so check with us before starting it.
