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 type of starch used to fill out the dose).

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 has been studied mainly for sexual dysfunction, where the evidence suggests it may be effective—but the data isn't conclusive, so we call it possibly effective. For athletic performance, the research points the other way; it appears possibly ineffective.

For benign prostatic hyperplasia (an enlarged prostate), we don't have enough reliable evidence to say 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.

Short-term, tribulus is generally well tolerated in healthy adults, but we don't have solid long-term safety data. The most common side effects are mild: abdominal pain, cramping, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, or constipation—though in one trial, these occurred at similar rates in the tribulus and placebo groups.

Rare serious effects have been reported, including liver and kidney injury, seizures, and a case of lower limb weakness and acute kidney injury in someone who drank very large amounts (2 liters daily) of tribulus water. Avoid this product during pregnancy because it may affect your hormones and safety hasn't been established.

Also avoid it 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 product, double-check with your pharmacist if you're on blood pressure medications, diabetes medications, or lithium. Tribulus can make all three work more strongly than intended, potentially lowering your blood pressure, blood sugar, or letting lithium build up to unsafe 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 be worth considering if you're interested in supporting sexual function and you don't take blood pressure or diabetes medications or lithium. If you're on any of those drugs, or if you're pregnant or breastfeeding, talk with your pharmacist or doctor before starting.

Quality and long-term safety data are limited, so it's not a supplement to use indefinitely without guidance.

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.

What's tribulus actually supposed to do?

We don't have solid long-term safety data. Short-term use in healthy adults is generally well tolerated, but quality and long-term safety information are limited, so this isn't a supplement to use indefinitely without guidance.
