Tribulus had been used as traditional medicine to treat sexual dysfunction and male infertility in Europe and Asia for many decades before improvement in scientific extraction techniques allowed identification of its active ingredient, called protodioscin.
Recently there has been a push from the public to explore more holistic approaches to health. The popularity of “alternative medicine” has been growing every year for the past decade or more. Where are we getting this alternative medicine? From countries in Eastern Europe, the Middle East, and of course the Far East. In countries such as China, Bulgaria and the former Soviet Union plants with medicinal properties are taken very seriously. Scientists involved in this research are just as respected as those involved in more traditional “western” medicine, unlike here in the U.S. where they are often labeled as quacks.
CNP Professional’s material represents the Gold Standard of Tribulus terrestris shoot extracts, developed by a large German phytochemical company over several years and standardized for protodioscine content approximately 300% higher than Bulgarian material, as determined by modern HPLC analysis. This high spec analysis is also employed in the anti-doping protocols that govern Olympic athletes. In fact, CNP Professional Tribulus terrestris extract has been demonstrated not only to contain a high yield of protodioscine, but also the full array of tibuluo-saponins, -essential for their synergy in producing the effects associated with this closely guarded secret of eastern bloc athletes.
