HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Tribulus by Herbal Terra

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.

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.

This product contains a single active ingredient: Tribulus Fruit Extract. The liquid formulation also includes alcohol, water, and glycerin as inactive ingredients.

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: Sexual function and athletic performance support.
  • We looked for evidence on: Athletic performance, Erectile dysfunction (ED), Male infertility, Premature ejaculation, Sexual dysfunction, Female sexual dysfunction — 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), Premature ejaculation, Male infertility.

Tribulus is possibly effective for sexual dysfunction — that's where the research best supports its use. For athletic performance, the evidence leans toward it being possibly ineffective.

For benign prostatic hyperplasia (enlarged prostate), we don't have enough 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.

Short-term use in healthy adults appears generally well tolerated, but quality data and long-term safety information are limited. Serious adverse effects are rare, though cases of liver and kidney injury, seizures, and chronic painful erection have been reported.

More commonly, some people experience mild gastrointestinal upset — abdominal pain, cramping, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, or constipation — though in one study these rates matched placebo. Avoid tribulus during pregnancy because it may affect hormones and safety isn't established.

Avoid it while breastfeeding due to lack of reliable safety data.

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 carries Moderate interactions with blood pressure meds, diabetes medications, and lithium. If you take any of those, talk with your pharmacist before starting.

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 by Herbal Terra: Common Questions

Does Tribulus by Herbal Terra interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Tribulus 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 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 my sexual function?
Tribulus is possibly effective for sexual dysfunction — that's the use with the best research support. Results vary, and it's not a guarantee, but it's worth discussing with your doctor if you're interested in trying it.
Can I take it while pregnant or breastfeeding?
No. The safety data advise against tribulus during pregnancy because it may affect hormones, and there isn't enough reliable information to recommend it while breastfeeding. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist about safer options.
What side effects should I watch for?
Most people tolerate it well, but some experience mild stomach upset — nausea, cramping, diarrhea, or constipation. Serious effects are rare but have included liver or kidney injury and seizures in isolated cases. Stop and call your doctor if you develop weakness, seizures, or yellowing of the skin or eyes.
Is this safe long-term?
Short-term use in healthy adults seems okay, but we don't have solid long-term safety data. It's best used as a short-term trial, and quality of supplements varies. Check with your pharmacist about a reputable brand.
Does this work for athletic performance?
No — the evidence actually leans toward tribulus being possibly ineffective for athletic performance. If you're looking for a sports supplement, there are better-studied options.
