HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Tribulus Terrestris 625 mg by Pure Advantage

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 a single active ingredient: tribulus terrestris at 625 mg per capsule. The capsule also holds inactive ingredients — microcrystalline cellulose, magnesium stearate, rice flour, and a gelatin capsule shell — which are fillers and binders that give the supplement its form.

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: testosterone support and sexual function.
  • We looked for evidence on: Erectile dysfunction (ED), Male infertility, Premature ejaculation, Sexual dysfunction, Menopausal symptoms, Libido — 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 "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Erectile dysfunction (ED), Menopausal symptoms, Premature ejaculation, Male infertility.

Tribulus terrestris is rated possibly effective for sexual dysfunction in adults — the evidence shows promise but isn't conclusive. For athletic performance, the data suggests it's possibly ineffective.

We don't have enough reliable evidence to rate whether it helps benign prostatic hyperplasia (enlarged prostate).

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 generally well tolerated in the short term for healthy adults, though long-term safety data are limited. Most people don't report side effects, though some experience mild gastrointestinal complaints like stomach pain, nausea, cramping, or changes in bowel habits — though studies show these occur at rates similar to placebo.

Serious side effects are rare but have been reported: liver and kidney injury, seizures, and in one case a patient drinking large amounts of tribulus water developed severe weakness, seizures, kidney injury, and liver inflammation. Avoid this product during pregnancy because it may affect hormones and safety is not established.

Don't take it while breastfeeding due to lack of reliable safety information.

Side effects, ingredient by ingredient Tribulus

Before taking this product, check your blood pressure medications, antidiabetes drugs, and lithium with your pharmacist or using the medication checker on this page. All three drug types carry Moderate-severity interaction risks with tribulus.

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 terrestris may be worth considering if you're interested in sexual function support and don't take blood pressure or diabetes medications or lithium. If you take any of those drugs, or have kidney or liver concerns, talk with your pharmacist before starting.

Long-term safety data are thin, so this is best used short-term and under professional guidance.

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 Terrestris 625 mg by Pure Advantage: Common Questions

Does Tribulus Terrestris 625 mg by Pure Advantage interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Tribulus Terrestris 625 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 Terrestris 625 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 nursing?
No. Tribulus may affect hormones during pregnancy and safety isn't established, so avoid it if you're pregnant. There isn't enough reliable safety data for breastfeeding either, so skip it while nursing. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist about what's right for you.
Does tribulus actually help with sexual function?
The evidence says possibly — it's been studied and shows promise, but the data aren't definitive. Results vary from person to person.
Will this help me build muscle or improve athletic performance?
No — the evidence suggests tribulus is likely ineffective for athletic performance.
What side effects should I watch for?
Most people tolerate it well. Mild stomach upset — pain, nausea, cramping, or diarrhea — can happen, though studies show it occurs at rates similar to placebo. Serious effects like liver or kidney injury are rare but have been reported, especially with very high doses or long-term use.
How safe is tribulus long-term?
Short-term use in healthy adults is generally well tolerated, but we don't have strong long-term safety data. If you're thinking of taking it regularly, check in with your pharmacist first.
Will this help my enlarged prostate?
We don't have enough reliable evidence to say whether tribulus helps benign prostatic hyperplasia. If that's a concern, talk with your doctor about treatments with stronger evidence.
