HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Tribulus Maximum Strength by Muscle Force

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 2 of its 2 active ingredients.
  • No proprietary blends here — you can verify the dose of every single component.

This product has two active ingredients. Lecithin is a compound found naturally in eggs and soy that's used in supplements for various health claims.

Tribulus terrestris is a whole plant extract — the aerial (above-ground) part — that's traditionally used in herbal medicine, mainly for sexual function. The capsule also contains gelatin and magnesium stearate as inactive ingredients that help hold the formula together.

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: promote natural testosterone and athletic performance.
  • We looked for evidence on: Athletic performance, Erectile dysfunction (ED), Exercise-induced muscle damage, Male infertility, Sexual dysfunction, Muscle strength — 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.

For Tribulus terrestris, the evidence suggests it's possibly effective for sexual dysfunction — meaning there's some clinical support, though it's not conclusive. For athletic performance, the data shows it's possibly ineffective.

The evidence for benign prostatic hyperplasia (enlarged prostate) isn't established enough to rate. Lecithin's evidence is sparse: it's rated likely ineffective for Alzheimer disease, and for other conditions like age-related cognitive decline and anxiety, there isn't enough reliable evidence to know whether it works.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Lecithin 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 2 of the 2 matched ingredients.
  • Pregnancy & breastfeeding safety ratings cover 2 of 2.
  • General safety write-ups exist for 2 of 2.
  • Remember: this measures how much safety information exists. Thin data is not the same as being safe.

Lecithin is generally well tolerated orally; the most common side effects are abdominal pain, diarrhea, bloating, and nausea. If you have an egg or soy allergy, lecithin can trigger allergic skin reactions.

Tribulus is often well tolerated short-term in healthy adults, but long-term safety data is limited. Rare serious side effects have been reported with tribulus, including liver and kidney injury, seizures, and in one case report, lower limb weakness and acute kidney injury after consuming large amounts of tribulus water.

Do not use tribulus during pregnancy — the safety data advises against it because it may affect hormones. Avoid it while breastfeeding due to lack of reliable safety information.

Lecithin is likely safe in pregnancy and lactation.

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 2 matched ingredients 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 your medications if you take blood pressure pills (antihypertensives), diabetes medications, or lithium. All three have documented Moderate-severity interactions with tribulus.

No interactions are documented for lecithin in our 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.

If you're interested in this supplement for sexual function and you don't take blood pressure medications, diabetes drugs, or lithium, it's worth checking with your pharmacist first. Anyone on those three medication types should avoid it or get clearance from their doctor.

Long-term safety data is thin, so talk to your pharmacist about whether this is right for your situation.

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 Maximum Strength by Muscle Force: Common Questions

Does Tribulus Maximum Strength by Muscle Force interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Tribulus Maximum Strength 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 Maximum Strength contains 2 active ingredients, and an interaction can come from any of them. We check every ingredient, combine the results into one list per medication, and show which ingredient and mechanism is 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 while pregnant or breastfeeding?
No — avoid tribulus during pregnancy because it may affect hormones and safety isn't established. Skip it while breastfeeding too, since there's not enough reliable safety data. Lecithin is likely safe in both pregnancy and lactation, but since the product contains tribulus, you should talk with your doctor or pharmacist before taking it.
What is lecithin and why is it in here?
Lecithin is a natural compound found in eggs and soy. It's added to supplements for various claimed health benefits, though for most of these — like memory and cognitive decline — the evidence is weak or not established.
Does tribulus actually help with sexual function?
The evidence suggests it's possibly effective, meaning some clinical studies support it, but the proof isn't ironclad. Results vary person to person.
What are the most common side effects?
Both ingredients can cause stomach upset — abdominal pain, diarrhea, nausea, bloating — though in one tribulus study these rates were similar to placebo. Most people tolerate it short-term without serious problems, but long-term safety data is limited.
Is this safe to use long-term?
Long-term safety data for tribulus is limited, so we don't have enough information to say it's safe for extended use. Stick with your pharmacist on this one — they can advise based on your health.
I'm allergic to eggs or soy. Can I take this?
Lecithin is derived from eggs or soy and can trigger allergic skin reactions in people with those allergies. Avoid this product if you have either allergy.
