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 Black 1300 contains one active ingredient: tribulus terrestris fruit extract at 1,300 mg per dose. Tribulus is a plant used traditionally and studied for sexual function and athletic performance.

The capsule itself is made from cellulose and filled with inactive ingredients including vegetable stearates, silicon dioxide, and food colorings (FD&C Blue No. 1 and FD&C Red No.

40).

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
Moderate

Some clinical evidence supports this product's ingredients for its stated purpose, but it isn't conclusive.

Why this rating?
  • The label markets this product for: Natural testosterone support for male vitality and strength.
  • We looked for evidence on: Athletic performance, Exercise-induced muscle damage, Male infertility, Erectile dysfunction (ED), Sexual dysfunction, Testosterone levels — and 2 related terms.
  • The strongest evidence on file: Tribulus is rated "Possibly Effective" for Sexual dysfunction (Natural Medicines).
  • Also on file: Tribulus is rated "Possibly Ineffective" for Athletic performance.
  • Also on file: Tribulus is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Erectile dysfunction (ED), Male infertility, Exercise-induced muscle damage.

Tribulus terrestris is rated possibly effective for sexual dysfunction — the clinical evidence suggests it may help, though more research would strengthen that confidence. For athletic performance, the data we hold rates it possibly ineffective, meaning evidence doesn't currently support its use for that goal.

For benign prostatic hyperplasia (enlarged prostate), we have insufficient reliable evidence 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.

Orally, tribulus is generally well tolerated in the short term by healthy adults, but long-term safety data are limited and quality varies depending on the source. Gastrointestinal side effects — abdominal pain, cramping, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and constipation — can occur, though in one study these rates matched placebo.

Serious adverse effects are rare but have been reported, including liver and kidney injury, seizures, and painful erection with sexual dysfunction. One case tied extremely high intake (2 liters of tribulus water daily for two days) to weakness, seizures, hepatitis, and acute kidney injury.

During pregnancy, safety is not established and tribulus may affect hormones, so it should be avoided. The same goes for breastfeeding — there isn't reliable safety information, so it's best to skip it while nursing.

Side effects, ingredient by ingredient Tribulus

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 Black 1300, check whether you take blood pressure medications (antihypertensive drugs), diabetes medications (antidiabetes drugs), or lithium. All three have Moderate interactions with tribulus and require a conversation with your pharmacist about whether this product is right for you.

The bottom line

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

Tribulus may help with sexual dysfunction, but it's only one of many options and your mileage will vary. If you take blood pressure medication, diabetes medication, or lithium, you need to check this product first — it can interact with all three and change how your drugs work.

Talk to your pharmacist before starting, especially if you're pregnant, breastfeeding, or on any regular medication.

Tribulus Black 1300 by Nutrex Research Black Series: Common Questions

Does Tribulus Black 1300 by Nutrex Research Black Series interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Tribulus Black 1300 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 Black 1300 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.
Will this help with sexual function?
Tribulus is rated possibly effective for sexual dysfunction, meaning clinical evidence suggests it may help some people, though more research would make us more confident in that claim. Results vary, and it's one option among several — talk to your pharmacist about what might work best for your situation.
Can I take this if I'm trying to improve athletic performance?
The data we have rates tribulus as possibly ineffective for athletic performance, so evidence doesn't currently support using it for that goal. If you're an athlete, there may be better-studied options to discuss with your pharmacist.
Is tribulus safe to take long-term?
Tribulus is often well tolerated in the short term, but long-term safety data are limited. Quality also varies depending on where the product comes from. If you're thinking about taking it regularly, check with your pharmacist about what the current evidence suggests for your specific situation.
What side effects might I notice?
Common side effects are mostly gastrointestinal — abdominal pain, cramping, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, or constipation. Interestingly, in one study these rates were similar to placebo. Serious effects like liver or kidney injury are rare but have been reported in isolated cases.
Can I take this while pregnant or breastfeeding?
No — tribulus should be avoided during pregnancy because it may affect hormones and safety isn't established. The same applies to breastfeeding, where there isn't enough reliable safety information. Talk to your doctor or pharmacist if you're pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or nursing.
What's in the capsule besides the active ingredient?
The capsule itself is cellulose, and it contains vegetable stearates, silicon dioxide, and two food colorings: FD&C Blue No. 1 and FD&C Red No. 40. These are all inactive fillers and binders.
