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.

The liquid form also contains glycerin and chocolate flavor as inactive ingredients (fillers and flavoring).

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 shows possibly effective evidence for sexual dysfunction — the main use people reach for this supplement. For athletic performance, the evidence leans toward possibly ineffective.

For benign prostatic hyperplasia (enlargement of the prostate gland), the evidence is insufficient to rate its effectiveness. If you're considering it for sexual health, talk with your doctor or pharmacist about whether it fits your situation.

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, but long-term safety data and product quality information are limited. Serious adverse effects are rare but have been reported, including liver and kidney injury, seizures, and in one extreme case, a patient who drank 2 liters of tribulus water daily for two days developed kidney injury and required hemodialysis.

More common side effects — abdominal pain, cramping, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea — occurred at rates similar to placebo in one study, suggesting they may not be directly caused by the supplement. During pregnancy, tribulus is rated possibly unsafe because it may affect hormones and safety hasn't been established; avoid it if you're pregnant.

While breastfeeding, there isn't enough reliable safety information — skip this product while nursing. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist about what's safe for you if you're pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or breastfeeding.

Tribulus Terrestris Fruit Chocolate Flavor by TerraVita: Common Questions

Does Tribulus Terrestris Fruit Chocolate Flavor by TerraVita interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Tribulus Terrestris Fruit Chocolate Flavor 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 Fruit Chocolate Flavor 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 is tribulus, and what's it supposed to do?
Tribulus is a plant extract that has possibly effective evidence for sexual dysfunction — that's the main reason people take it. Evidence for athletic performance leans toward it not being effective, and for prostate enlargement, we don't have enough reliable data to say whether it works.
Can I take this while I'm pregnant or breastfeeding?
No — avoid tribulus during pregnancy because it may affect hormones and safety hasn't been established. While breastfeeding, there isn't enough reliable safety information, so skip it then too. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist about what's safe during these times.
What side effects should I expect?
Most people tolerate tribulus well in the short term. Nausea, abdominal pain, cramping, diarrhea, and constipation can occur, but in one study these happened at rates similar to placebo. Serious effects are rare but have included liver and kidney injury and seizures, usually in extreme situations.
How long can I safely take this?
Short-term use in healthy adults appears well tolerated, but long-term safety data are limited. We don't have solid evidence for how long it's safe to use, so check with your doctor or pharmacist about your specific situation.
Is this product just tribulus, or does it have anything else in it?
It's a one-ingredient active supplement — just Tribulus terrestris Fruit Glycerite Liquid Extract. The liquid contains glycerin and chocolate flavor as inactive ingredients for taste and texture.
