HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Tribulus Extract 750 mg by Source 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.

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.

This product contains one active ingredient: tribulus fruit extract at 750 mg per tablet. Tribulus is a plant used traditionally in Ayurvedic medicine, and modern research has studied it for sexual function and athletic performance.

The tablet also includes inactive ingredients (acacia, stearic acid, silica, modified cellulose gum, and magnesium stearate) that help hold it together and make it easier to swallow.

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: Supports reproductive function.
  • We looked for evidence on: Erectile dysfunction (ED), Male infertility, Sexual dysfunction, Premature ejaculation, Female fertility, Libido — and 1 related terms.
  • The strongest evidence on file: Tribulus is rated "Possibly Effective" for Sexual dysfunction (Natural Medicines).
  • Also on file: Tribulus is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Erectile dysfunction (ED), Premature ejaculation, Male infertility.

Tribulus extract is possibly effective for sexual dysfunction—that's what the research suggests, though evidence isn't ironclad. For athletic performance, studies point to it being possibly ineffective.

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

Tribulus is often well tolerated in the short term in healthy people, but long-term safety data and consistent quality information are limited. Avoid it during pregnancy—it may affect hormones and we don't have solid safety data in pregnant people.

Also avoid it while breastfeeding due to lack of reliable safety information. Serious side effects are rare but have been reported: liver and kidney injury, seizures, and in one extreme case, a person who drank 2 liters of tribulus water daily developed seizures, kidney damage, and liver inflammation.

More common but mild side effects can include stomach pain, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and constipation—though in one study these rates matched placebo.

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 product, double-check with your pharmacist if you're on blood pressure medications (antihypertensives), diabetes drugs, or lithium. These are the medication types documented to interact with tribulus, and the interactions are Moderate severity.

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, though the evidence is modest. If you take blood pressure drugs, diabetes medications, or lithium, you need to check with your pharmacist first.

For everyone else, short-term use seems tolerable, but we don't have strong long-term safety data. Definitely talk to your pharmacist before starting, especially if you're on any regular medication.

Tribulus Extract 750 mg by Source Naturals: Common Questions

Does Tribulus Extract 750 mg by Source Naturals interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Tribulus Extract 750 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 Extract 750 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 tribulus in pregnancy because it may affect hormones. Avoid it while breastfeeding too, since we don't have enough safety information. Talk with your doctor if you're planning pregnancy or are currently pregnant or nursing.
What are the side effects I should know about?
Most people tolerate it well. Mild side effects can include stomach pain, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, or constipation—though one study found these rates similar to placebo. Rare serious side effects (liver or kidney injury, seizures) have been reported, and extreme overuse has caused kidney damage and inflammation.
Does this actually work for sexual dysfunction?
The evidence suggests it's possibly effective—meaning there's some research backing it, but it's not proven. Results vary from person to person, so talk with your pharmacist about what to expect.
Will it help me with athletic performance?
Research points to tribulus being possibly ineffective for athletic performance, so it's not a reliable choice for that goal.
How long can I safely take this?
Tribulus is often well tolerated short-term in healthy people, but long-term safety data are limited. We don't have solid information on how long you can take it safely, so ask your pharmacist about duration.
