Short answer:<\/strong> Tribulus terrestris is a low, spiny flowering plant, also called puncture vine or caltrop, whose fruit and leaves have long been used in traditional Chinese, Ayurvedic and folk formulas, and whose extracts are sold today as men\u2019s supplements. It is rich in saponins and is mainly used for men\u2019s fitness and general vitality, but the popular claim that it reliably raises testosterone is not well supported in human studies. It is a herbal supplement, not a medicine: if you take medication or have a heart, blood pressure, kidney or liver condition, ask your doctor first. Tribulus is one of six botanicals in EROJAN Men\u2019s Energy Capsules<\/a>, which we sell in Singapore.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Tribulus is a familiar name on men\u2019s supplement labels, and an often oversold one. Where we mention our own product, we only use what our Singapore product page states.<\/p>\n

What is tribulus terrestris?<\/h2>\n

Tribulus terrestris<\/em> is a creeping plant with small yellow flowers that grows in warm, dry places across Asia, Africa, southern Europe and Australia. Its hard fruits carry sharp spines, which is where the names puncture vine and caltrop come from. In Chinese medicine the fruit is known as ji li, and in Ayurveda as gokshura.<\/p>\n

Supplements use extracts of the fruit or the whole above-ground plant. The compounds people talk about are steroidal saponins, such as protodioscin, and the amount differs a lot from one extract to another. You may also see Tribulus omanense<\/em>, a related species from the Arabian Peninsula that is far less studied, and \u201ctribulus complex\u201d products, which are blends of tribulus with other herbs or nutrients.<\/p>\n

What are tribulus benefits for men?<\/h2>\n

Traditionally, tribulus was used in formulas for men\u2019s strength and vitality, and gym-goers adopted it for training. Our EROJAN page puts it in those traditional terms: tribulus is \u201crich in saponins, which support healthy blood circulation\u201d and has been \u201clong used in traditional formulas for men\u2019s fitness.\u201d<\/p>\n

Modern research in people is limited and mixed. Small studies have looked at well-being, exercise and general vitality with varied results, and the quality of the extract matters. A fair way to think of tribulus is as a traditional herb that some men include in a daily routine, not a performance drug and not a medicine.<\/p>\n

Does tribulus raise testosterone?<\/h2>\n

This is the claim that made tribulus famous, and it is the weakest part of its reputation. Early animal research and heavy marketing built the \u201ctestosterone booster\u201d label, but controlled studies in healthy men have generally not found a consistent rise in testosterone from tribulus. Some lab and animal results have not carried over to people.<\/p>\n

So do not buy tribulus, or any supplement, expecting it to change your hormone levels. If you have ongoing tiredness, low mood or loss of strength and wonder about testosterone, see a doctor: a simple blood test gives you a real answer. We describe EROJAN the way its bottle does, \u201ctraditionally used for men\u2019s health and energy\u201d; it is not a test or a treatment for low testosterone.<\/p>\n
