The active ingredient in tribulus is unknown, but is though to be a component known as furostanol saponins. There has been very little research conducted on the effectiveness of tribulus in elevating testosterone levels – the main claim made by body building products which contain the herb. In some cultures, the tribulus terrestris plant has been used as a “tonic” to in crease energy levels and treat sexual dysfunction (usually in males). In animals, tribulus may stimulate “mounting” behavior. Some European studies suggest that tribulus extract can increase testosterone levels 30-50% above baseline levels.
Tribulus terrestris is available in bulk powder, capsule, tablet, and liquid extract and tincture forms. The recommended dosage is 750 to 1,250 milligrams per day (about a teaspoon of bulk powder), but you should divide the dosage and take it with meals to avoid stomach upset. Approximately one in ten people report gastrointestinal upset when taking Tribulus terrestris. In addition, although no toxic effects have been associated with human consumption of this supplement, some laboratory animals actually demonstrated permanent reduced muscle strength and coordination when given high doses of terrestris, so its important to keep your dosage within the recommended range.
