HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Tribulus 750 by MET-Rx

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 750 contains a single active ingredient: tribulus extract at 750 mg per capsule. Tribulus is a plant whose fruit and root have been used traditionally to support sexual function and athletic performance.

The capsule itself is made from gelatin and cellulose—standard inactive ingredients that hold the extract together.

Does it work?

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
Leans against

The strongest graded evidence we hold for the stated purpose leans against a benefit.

Why this rating?
  • The label markets this product for: athletic performance and muscle building.
  • We looked for evidence on: Athletic performance, Exercise-induced muscle damage, Strength, Endurance, Muscle recovery.
  • The closest evidence on file: Tribulus is rated "Possibly Ineffective" for Athletic performance (Natural Medicines).
  • Also on file: Tribulus is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Exercise-induced muscle damage.

The evidence for tribulus is mixed. For sexual dysfunction, the data suggests it's possibly effective—meaning there's some clinical support, but it's not ironclad.

For athletic performance, the evidence leans toward possibly ineffective. For benign prostatic hyperplasia (enlarged prostate), we don't have enough reliable evidence to say whether it works or not.

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 are sparse and quality varies. Avoid this product during pregnancy because it may affect hormones and its safety hasn't been established.

Also skip it while breastfeeding—we don't have reliable safety information for nursing. Mild side effects like stomach upset, nausea, diarrhea, or cramping can occur, though in one study these rates matched placebo.

Rare serious effects including liver or kidney injury and seizures have been reported, and one case described a person who drank 2 liters of tribulus water daily and developed weakness, seizures, and kidney damage (which improved after stopping and getting dialysis).

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 with your pharmacist before combining this product with blood pressure medications, diabetes drugs, or lithium. Tribulus can lower blood pressure and blood sugar and may raise lithium levels, all of which could require dose adjustments or closer monitoring.

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with graded evidence leaning against its stated purpose. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.

Tribulus might help with sexual function, but the evidence is modest. If you take blood pressure medication, diabetes drugs, or lithium, talk to your pharmacist or doctor before starting—this supplement can amplify their effects.

Short-term use seems okay for most people, but we don't know much about long-term safety, so treat it as a trial rather than a forever habit.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Antihypertensive Drugs

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 750 by MET-Rx: Common Questions

Does Tribulus 750 by MET-Rx interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Tribulus 750 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 750 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 Tribulus 750 if I'm pregnant or breastfeeding?
No. The safety data advise against tribulus during pregnancy because it may affect hormones. Skip it while breastfeeding too—we don't have enough safety information. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist if you're considering it during these times.
Does tribulus actually help with sexual function?
The evidence says it's possibly effective, meaning there's some clinical backing but it's not a proven home run. Results vary from person to person, and the quality of studies isn't perfect.
What are the most common side effects?
Mild stomach upset—nausea, cramping, diarrhea, or vomiting—can happen, though in one study these rates were the same as placebo. Most people tolerate it well in the short term.
Will tribulus help my athletic performance?
The evidence suggests it's possibly ineffective for athletic performance, so it's not a reliable choice if that's your main goal.
How long can I safely take this supplement?
The data show it's generally well tolerated short-term in healthy adults, but long-term safety information is limited. Treat it as a trial and chat with your pharmacist before taking it long-term.
