Does Tribulus Terrestris Really Work?

As with most dietary supplements, Tribulus terrestris is claimed to work for a variety of different uses. However, does it really work? This article will summarize the available scientific evidence about the effectiveness of T. terrestris for various uses.

Scientific Evidence on Tribulus Terrestris

T. terrestris does not seem to be effective for improving athletic performance or improving body composition. Studies generally show no benefit for this use, whether T. terrestris was used alone or in combination with other supplements.

Early evidence suggests that T. terrestris may be of use for treating angina (chest pain due to lack of blood flow to the heart). A specific extract seemed to improve the pain and increase blood flow to the heart. However, more evidence is necessary to confirm these early findings and to see if other forms of the supplement (not just the specific extract) are also effective.

Research of T. terrestris for eczema treatment has shown mixed results. It is too early to know if the supplement really provides any benefits for relieving the symptoms of eczema.

There is not enough scientific evidence to suggest that T. terrestris works for other uses, including enhancing sexual performance.
