Tribulus Terrestris is a plant that grows in tropical climates. The part of the plant from which there is the most interest lies in the root. This plant has been used around the world for a variety of ailments. It has been used as an herbal supplement diuretic, antiseptic, anti-inflammatory, and as a mood-enhancing tonic.*

Urinary Tract Health - As a diuretic, Tribulus may encourage urine flow, which helps with cleansing the kidneys, bladder, liver, and urethra. The removal of wastes and the cleansing action attributed to increased urine output and kidney support. Additionally, the release of fluid may encourage the elimination of toxins, something that can have a dramatic impact on mood and energy. (Journal of Ethnopharmacology. 2003 April;85(2-3):257-60.)

Tribulus contains active compounds labeled steroidal saponins that are mainly found in the leaf of the plant. Use of Tribulus is proven to rapidly increase levels of luteinizing hormone. This hormone is responsible for sending the signal through the body to start producing testosterone. There is a study involving individuals taking 750 mg per day of Tribulus Terrestris. It showed that LH increased from 14.38 ml/U/ml to 24.75 ml/U/ml (which is a 72% increase in LH). Free testosterone went from 60 ng/dl to 84.5 ng/dl (which is an increase of 41%). Tribulus Terrestris is the most commonly used natural libido enhancer for both men and women. The active ingredient in Tribulus Terrestris extract is Protodioscin, which is a natural precursor to the most anabolic hormone in the body, testosterone. Regularly supplementing with Tribulus is proven to help balance out hormone levels and increase your body’s natural testosterone production. Studies have proven that Tribulus Terrestris can also boost your circulatory system, which will help your body transport oxygen and nutrients to your muscles more efficiently.
