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 is possibly effective for sexual dysfunction based on available evidence. For athletic performance, the evidence suggests it's possibly ineffective.

For benign prostatic hyperplasia (enlarged prostate), we don't hold enough reliable evidence to rate it one way or the other.

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 often well tolerated short-term in healthy adults, but long-term safety data and quality information are limited. The product should be avoided during pregnancy because it may affect hormones and its safety in pregnancy is not established.

Avoid it while breastfeeding due to lack of reliable safety information. Most people who take tribulus orally don't experience side effects.

Gastrointestinal complaints like abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and constipation have been reported, though in one study these rates were similar to placebo. Serious adverse effects are rare but have been reported, including liver and kidney injury, seizures, and in one case a patient drinking very high amounts of tribulus water daily developed weakness, seizures, and acute kidney injury that improved after stopping the product and receiving dialysis.

How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Tribulus Terrestris Fruit Vanilla 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.
Can I take this while I'm pregnant?
No—tribulus is rated possibly unsafe in pregnancy because it may affect hormones and its safety hasn't been established. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist about whether it's right for you.
Is it safe to breastfeed while taking this?
The safety data aren't reliable enough to know. Avoid it while breastfeeding, and ask your doctor or pharmacist if you have questions about alternatives.
Does tribulus actually work for sexual dysfunction?
It's rated possibly effective for sexual dysfunction based on available evidence, so there's some scientific support—but the evidence isn't definitive.

The active ingredient is tribulus terrestris fruit in glycerin (a liquid concentrate). The inactive ingredients are glycerin and vanilla flavor.
Will this help my athletic performance?
The evidence suggests tribulus is possibly ineffective for athletic performance, so it's unlikely to help with that goal.
What side effects should I watch for?
Most people tolerate it well. Gastrointestinal complaints like nausea, diarrhea, and abdominal pain can happen, though they were similar to placebo in one study. Serious side effects like liver or kidney injury are rare but have been reported, especially with very high daily amounts.
