HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Tribulus Pro by Universal

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
Ingredient Transparency · database check
Low

Most active ingredients don't disclose an individual amount — you can't tell how much of each you're getting.

Why this rating?
  • The label discloses an exact amount for 0 of its 2 active ingredients.
  • “Proprietary Tribulus Blend” is a proprietary blend — the label gives one combined amount (625 mg) without saying how much of each component you get.

Tribulus Pro contains 2 active ingredients: tribulus terrestris powder and a tribulus terrestris extract, both forms of the same plant. The product also contains inactive ingredients — gelatin, dicalcium phosphate, and magnesium stearate — which are the capsule and binding materials.

Both active forms deliver the plant's compounds, which are studied mainly for sexual function and athletic performance.

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: Strength, libido support and hormone support.
  • We looked for evidence on: Athletic performance, Erectile dysfunction (ED), Exercise-induced muscle damage, Male infertility, Premature ejaculation, Sexual dysfunction — and 3 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, Exercise-induced muscle damage.

Tribulus terrestris appears possibly effective for sexual dysfunction based on the evidence we have. For athletic performance, the research suggests it's possibly ineffective — it doesn't seem to boost your workouts the way some hope.

For benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), we don't have enough reliable evidence to rate whether it works.

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 seems generally well tolerated in the short term for healthy adults, but we don't have solid long-term safety data, so caution is warranted if you're thinking of using it long-term. Most people don't report side effects, but some experience stomach upset — cramping, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, or constipation.

Rare serious side effects including liver and kidney injury and seizures have been reported. Avoid this product during pregnancy because it may affect hormones and safety is not established.

Also avoid it while breastfeeding due to lack of reliable safety information.

Why this rating?

  • 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.

Blood pressure meds risk a dangerous drop; diabetes meds risk low blood sugar; lithium risks toxic buildup. Use the medication search tool below before you start.

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFormula with limited ingredient disclosure with some supporting evidence for its stated purpose. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.

Tribulus Pro might appeal to you if you're exploring options for sexual dysfunction, though the evidence is modest. If you take blood pressure medications, diabetes medications, or lithium, you need to check with your pharmacist first — the interactions are real and potentially risky.

Pregnant women and those breastfeeding should not use this product.

Tribulus Pro by Universal: Common Questions

Does Tribulus Pro by Universal interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Tribulus Pro 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 Pro 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.
Will Tribulus Pro help me with sexual dysfunction?
Tribulus appears possibly effective for sexual dysfunction based on the research we have. Results vary, and it's not a guarantee — the evidence is modest rather than strong. Talk to your pharmacist about whether it's a fit for you.
Can I use this if I'm pregnant or breastfeeding?
No. The safety data advises against tribulus during pregnancy because it may affect hormones. Similarly, avoid it while breastfeeding due to lack of reliable safety information. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist about your options.
What side effects should I watch for?
Most people tolerate it well, but some experience stomach issues — cramping, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, or constipation. Rare serious effects like liver and kidney injury and seizures have been reported. Stop and contact your doctor if you notice anything unusual, especially weakness, seizures, or yellowing of the skin.
How long have people used this safely?
We have good short-term safety data for healthy adults, but long-term safety information is limited. If you're thinking of using it long-term, that's a conversation to have with your pharmacist.
What exactly is tribulus terrestris?
It's a plant, and Tribulus Pro gives you both the powder and an extract of it. Both deliver the plant's active compounds, which researchers have studied mainly for sexual function and athletic performance.
Will this help me perform better athletically?
The research suggests tribulus is possibly ineffective for athletic performance — it doesn't appear to boost your workouts. If that's your main goal, this probably isn't the right choice.
