HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Tribulus Vital Extracts 450 mg by Solaray

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 2 of its 2 active ingredients.
  • “Tribulus Fruit Extract” is listed as a grouped ingredient — the label gives one combined amount (450 mg) without saying how much of each component you get.

This product contains 2 active ingredients. Tribulus, the main one, is an extract from the fruit of a plant traditionally used for sexual function and athletic performance.

The product also contains saponins, which are natural plant compounds. The capsule is filled with cellulose, an inert filler.

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 — meaning some clinical evidence supports it, but more research would strengthen the case. For athletic performance, the evidence leans possibly ineffective.

For benign prostatic hyperplasia (enlarged prostate), there isn't 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 short-term in healthy adults, though long-term safety data are limited and quality varies by product. Serious side effects are rare but have been reported: liver and kidney injury, seizures, and painful erection with sexual dysfunction.

More commonly, some people report stomach pain, cramping, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, or constipation — though in one study these rates matched placebo. Avoid this product during pregnancy because it may affect hormones and safety hasn't been established.

Do not use 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.

Check before taking this if you're on blood pressure–lowering drugs, diabetes medications, or lithium. All three carry Moderate interaction risks with tribulus.

Altogether, these interactions span 256 individual medications.

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 function, but it's not proven for athletic performance. If you take blood pressure medicine, diabetes medication, or lithium, talk to your pharmacist before starting — the interactions are real.

Stick to short-term use in healthy adults, and know that long-term safety isn't well studied.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Antihypertensive Drugs

Theoretically, taking tribulus with antihypertensive drugs might increase the risk of hypotension.
Animal research shows that tribulus can lower blood pressure by inhibiting angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE). Tribulus has also demonstrated hypotensive effects in pre-hypertensive adults.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Lithium

Theoretically, tribulus might increase the levels and clinical effects of lithium.
Tribulus is thought to have diuretic properties. Due to these potential diuretic effects, tribulus might reduce excretion and increase levels of lithium. The dose of lithium might need to be decreased.

Tribulus Vital Extracts 450 mg by Solaray: Common Questions

Does Tribulus Vital Extracts 450 mg by Solaray interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Tribulus Vital Extracts 450 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 Vital Extracts 450 mg contains 2 active ingredients, and an interaction can come from any of them. We check every ingredient, combine the results into one list per medication, and show which ingredient and mechanism is 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 isn't established. Also avoid it while breastfeeding because there's not enough reliable safety data. Talk to your pharmacist or doctor about what's safe for you in either situation.
Does tribulus actually work for sexual function?
The evidence says possibly effective — meaning some research supports it, but we'd need more studies to be confident. It's worth trying if you're curious, but set realistic expectations.
What are the most common side effects?
Stomach upset — pain, cramping, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, or constipation — is what you'll hear about most. In one study, though, these complaints happened just as often in people taking placebo, so they might not all be from tribulus itself.
Is this safe to take long-term?
Short-term use in healthy adults seems generally well tolerated, but we don't have much data on long-term safety. Quality and purity vary by brand too. If you're thinking of taking it regularly, ask your pharmacist first.
What's in this product besides tribulus?
The active ingredient is tribulus fruit extract plus saponins, which are natural plant compounds. The capsule itself is made from cellulose, a filler.
