Tribulus Terrestris Overdose

It is not known exactly what to expect from an overdose with Tribulus terrestris (or if an overdose is even possible). If the supplement does indeed increase male hormone levels, as is often claimed, an overdose may cause testosterone-like effects, such as increased body or facial hair growth or lowering of the voice (in women). Treatment for an overdose will likely involve supportive care.
