Tribulus
Terrestris
Tribulus terrestris
is a tropical vine common in sandy soil throughout India, Pakistan,
and Sri Lanka. The herb has been used since ancient times in India
as a powerful treatment for both male and female sexual problems,
and is highly popular for its potent role in supporting reproductive
function. Tribulus has been widely tested for its efficacy in enhancing
sperm quality and mobility, and for increasing libido and sexual
performance.
It has also been the subject of clinical attention, and is widely
used to aid in muscle performance and recovery in body building.
Tribulus works by increasing
the levels of Luteinizing hormone (LH) levels, in some studies by
as much as by 72%, and free testosterone levels by 41%. It is a
well known fact that increased testosterone is one key factor in
increasing libido and heightening sexual response – and erection
strength – in human males. Recent clinical studies show that
tribulus has been proven to improve sexual desire and enhance erections.
Tribulus terrestris can, however, be used by both men and women.
Used by bodybuilders for its ability to increase testosterone, and
therefore to build muscle and enhance performance. Tribulus naturally
counteracts impotence, and supercharges libido and male fertility.
