Tribulus

Tribulus, also known by its scientific name Tribulus terrestris or puncture vine, is a plant used for centuries for its many wellbeing benefits. Native to hot, arid regions, this plant is renowned for its ability to support sexual health. Tribulus terrestris is often associated with supporting libido and sexual function. It is also used to support the functioning of the reproductive system.

Tribulus Terrestris is a plant that grows and is traditionally used in many regions of the world, particularly in Asia and Africa. Tribulus Terrestris contains bioactive compounds, including steroidal saponins, which are considered responsible for most of its beneficial effects. In the 1970s, Tribulus Terrestris began to be used in Eastern Europe by athletes seeking to maintain good sports performance. As this information spread, Tribulus Terrestris began to be used more widely as a food supplement. Today, it is commonly used to help increase libido and sexual performance and to support the functioning of the reproductive system.

To naturally increase testosterone, it is suggested to maintain a healthy and balanced lifestyle. It is important to exercise regularly, favouring high intensity activities and resistance training. Adequate, restorative sleep is also essential, as is stress management. A balanced diet, rich in protein, healthy fats and vegetables, can also promote optimal testosterone levels.

Tribulus is generally considered safe when taken according to the usage instructions. However, some potential side effects may occur in certain people. These adverse effects include gastrointestinal disorders such as stomach aches or nausea. In rare cases, allergic reactions may occur, manifesting as skin rashes or itching. In the event of adverse reactions, it is best to stop the supplementation programme and consult a doctor. We strongly recommend consulting your doctor before starting a new programme and finding out about potential interactions if you are taking prescription medication.

Signs of testosterone deficiency may include decreased libido, increased fatigue, reduced muscle mass, increased body fat, difficulty building muscle, concentration and memory problems, mood changes, irritability, as well as sleep problems.
