HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Tribulus terrestris Extract Powder 1500 mg by BulkSupplements.com

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 terrestris Fruit, Whole Herbs Extract at 1500 mg per serving. Tribulus is a plant extract traditionally used to support sexual function and athletic performance.

The powder also contains dextrin as an inactive ingredient (a filler that helps with consistency and flow).

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

This product doesn't appear to be marketed for a specific use, so we graded Tribulus's overall clinical evidence instead.

Moderate

Some clinical evidence supports Tribulus for:

Why this rating?
  • We looked at the product name, claims, and label statements and couldn't find a stated purpose to grade.
  • Since the label doesn't commit to one use, we graded the ingredient's overall clinical evidence instead.
  • On file: Sexual dysfunction — rated "Possibly Effective" (Natural Medicines).

Tribulus appears possibly effective for sexual dysfunction — multiple studies support some benefit here. For athletic performance, the evidence leans toward possibly ineffective, so don't count on it to boost your workouts.

Benign prostatic hyperplasia (enlarged prostate) — we simply don't have enough reliable evidence to know whether it helps.

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 short-term use by healthy adults, but long-term safety data are limited and quality varies across products. Serious side effects are rare but have been reported, including liver and kidney injury, seizures, and in one case, a person who drank 2 liters of tribulus water daily for two days developed seizures, kidney damage, and liver inflammation.

More common mild effects include abdominal pain, cramping, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and constipation — though in some studies these occurred at similar rates in people taking placebo. Avoid this supplement during pregnancy because it may affect hormones and safety is not established.

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

Meds to double-check

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.

Before you take this, double-check with your pharmacist if you're on blood pressure medications (antihypertensives) — tribulus may lower your pressure too much. Also flag it if you take diabetes medications (risk of low blood sugar) or lithium (may raise your lithium levels).

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with some supporting evidence behind its ingredients' uses. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.

Tribulus may help with sexual dysfunction if you're looking for that effect, but it's not proven for athletic performance. Because it can lower blood pressure and blood sugar and may raise lithium levels, check your medications before starting — especially if you take blood pressure pills, diabetes medications, or lithium.

Talk to your pharmacist about whether it's right for you.

Tribulus terrestris Extract Powder 1500 mg by BulkSupplements.com: Common Questions

Does Tribulus terrestris Extract Powder 1500 mg by BulkSupplements.com interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Tribulus terrestris Extract Powder 1500 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 Extract Powder 1500 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 — avoid it during pregnancy because tribulus may affect hormones and safety hasn't been established. Also avoid while breastfeeding because we don't have reliable safety data. Talk to your doctor or midwife if you're thinking about any supplement during pregnancy or lactation.
What are the most common side effects?
Mild gastrointestinal complaints like abdominal pain, nausea, diarrhea, and cramping have been reported, though in some studies these happened at similar rates in people taking placebo. Serious effects are rare but have included liver and kidney injury and seizures.
Does tribulus actually work for sexual function?
The evidence suggests possibly — multiple studies point to some benefit for sexual dysfunction, so it's worth trying if that's what you're after. Results vary person to person, though.
Will this help my athletic performance?
The research leans toward no — the evidence we have rates it possibly ineffective for athletic performance, so you shouldn't count on it for a workout boost.
How long can I safely take this?
Tribulus is generally well tolerated short-term in healthy adults, but long-term safety data are limited. We don't have solid information on how long you can take it, so check with your pharmacist about your specific situation.
What's in this besides the tribulus extract?
Just dextrin, which is an inactive filler ingredient to help the powder flow and mix well.
