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 capsule contains one active ingredient: organic Puncture Vine powder at 400 mg per serving. Puncture Vine (Tribulus terrestris) is a plant used traditionally to support sexual function and athletic performance.

The product is made from 100% pure organic Puncture Vine Powder with no other listed fillers or additives.

Does it work?

Not established
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
Not established

The graded evidence we hold for these ingredients covers different conditions than the ones this product is marketed for, so there's no established rating for its stated use — see Tribulus's own graded uses on its monograph.

Why this rating?
  • The label markets this product for: libido, stamina, testosterone, heart and fertility support.
  • We looked for evidence on: Erectile dysfunction (ED), Sexual dysfunction, Male infertility, Athletic performance, Exercise-induced muscle damage, Hypertension — and 4 related terms.
  • The closest evidence on file: Tribulus is rated "Possibly Ineffective" for Athletic performance (Natural Medicines).
  • Also on file: Tribulus is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Antidepressant-induced sexual dysfunction, Erectile dysfunction (ED), Hypercholesterolemia, Hypertension, and more.

Tribulus shows possibly effective evidence for sexual dysfunction — the primary use for this product. However, 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 it 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 generally well tolerated in the short term by healthy adults, but long-term safety data are limited and quality varies between products. Gastrointestinal side effects like stomach pain, nausea, and diarrhea can occur, though in one study these rates matched placebo.

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

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

Side effects, ingredient by ingredient Tribulus

Moderate interaction found
Known Interaction Concern · database check
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 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.

Check with your doctor or pharmacist before using this product if you take blood pressure medications, diabetes medications, or lithium. Tribulus can lower blood pressure and blood sugar, and may increase lithium levels — all Moderate-severity interactions that could affect how your medications work.

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with no established evidence rating for its marketed use. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.

Tribulus may help with sexual dysfunction, but it's not proven for athletic performance. If you take blood pressure meds, diabetes meds, or lithium, check with your doctor or pharmacist before starting — the interactions can be significant.

Long-term safety isn't well established, so use short-term and talk it over with your healthcare provider first.

Tribulus Terrestris Capsules 400 mg by Organic Aura: Common Questions

Does Tribulus Terrestris Capsules 400 mg by Organic Aura interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Tribulus Terrestris Capsules 400 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 Capsules 400 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.
Does tribulus really help with sexual performance?
The evidence says it's possibly effective for sexual dysfunction, meaning there's some clinical support but it's not conclusive. Results vary person to person, and you may want to give it a few weeks to see if it works for you.
Can I take this while I'm on blood pressure or diabetes medication?
Not without checking first. Tribulus can lower blood pressure and blood sugar on its own, so combining it with those medications risks dropping them too low. Talk to your doctor or pharmacist — they may need to monitor you or adjust your dose.
Is tribulus safe to take long-term?
Short-term use in healthy adults is generally well tolerated, but we don't have solid long-term safety data. Quality also varies between products. Use it for a few weeks and discuss any concerns with your healthcare provider before continuing.
Can I take this if I'm pregnant or breastfeeding?
No — avoid it during pregnancy because it may affect hormones and safety isn't established. Also avoid it while breastfeeding due to lack of reliable safety information. Talk with your doctor about safe alternatives.
What's in these capsules besides tribulus?
Just the active ingredient: 100% pure organic Puncture Vine powder. There are no other fillers or additives listed.
What side effects might I experience?
Mild gastrointestinal complaints like stomach pain, nausea, diarrhea, or constipation can occur, though in one study these rates matched placebo. Rare serious effects like liver or kidney injury and seizures have been reported in case reports.
