HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Tribulus by L.A. Naturals
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
Low disclosure
L.A. Naturals Tribulus Liquid contains one active ingredient: dry Tribulus.
The formula also includes grain alcohol and deionized water as inactive ingredients.
Does it work?
Moderate evidence
Tribulus is possibly effective for sexual dysfunction based on the data we hold. For athletic performance, the evidence suggests it's possibly ineffective.
For benign prostatic hyperplasia (enlarged prostate), we don't have enough reliable evidence to rate whether it works.
How safe is it?
Well-documented data
Tribulus is generally well tolerated in the short term in healthy adults, though long-term safety data are limited and quality varies. The most commonly reported side effects are gastrointestinal — abdominal pain, cramping, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and constipation — though in one study these occurred at similar rates in both tribulus and placebo groups.
Rare serious effects including liver and kidney injury, seizures, and chronic painful erection have been reported. Avoid this product during pregnancy because it may affect hormones and safety is not established.
Avoid it while breastfeeding due to lack of reliable safety information.
Meds to double-check
Moderate interaction found
Before taking this product, check whether you're on blood pressure medications (antihypertensives), diabetes medications, or lithium — all carry Moderate interaction risk with Tribulus. Use the interaction tool on this page to confirm your exact medications.
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 be worth considering if you're exploring options for sexual dysfunction, though the evidence is modest. If you take blood pressure medications, diabetes medications, or lithium, check with your doctor or pharmacist before starting — the interaction risk is real.
Quality and long-term safety data are sparse, so this isn't a long-term daily supplement without a reason and oversight.

Tribulus by L.A. Naturals Drug Interactions
HelloPharmacist Interaction Report
L.A.
Naturals Tribulus Liquid, which contains dry Tribulus as its single active ingredient, does interact with medications. The main concern is with blood pressure medications (antihypertensives), diabetes medications (antidiabetes drugs), and lithium — all Moderate severity.
Read the full breakdown — every affected drug type, severity by severity
Tribulus can lower blood pressure by blocking an enzyme your body uses to regulate it, so taking it alongside blood pressure medications might push your pressure too low. Similarly, it may lower blood sugar in people taking diabetes medications, raising the risk of low blood sugar (hypoglycemia).
If you're on lithium, tribulus's diuretic (water-shedding) effects might keep lithium from leaving your body properly, potentially building it up to harmful levels.
Although these are the documented interactions we have data for, Altogether, these interactions span 259 individual medications. Before you start this product, use the interaction checker below to confirm your exact medications — especially if you take anything for blood pressure, diabetes, or mood.

Antidiabetes Drugs
Taking tribulus with antidiabetes drugs might increase the risk of hypoglycemia.
Clinical research shows that Tribulus can lower blood glucose levels in adults with type 2 diabetes who are taking antidiabetes medications.
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.
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.
