Tribulus terrestris, also known as puncture vine, has been traditionally used for centuries in ancient Greece, India, and Africa to support fertility. Scientific studies suggest that although it does not contain hormones, Tribulus extract helps support normal hormone production and overall male reproductive health.
Tribulus is believed to influence testosterone production by stimulating the body to release luteinizing hormone (LH), which signals the production of more testosterone. Its effects are attributed to a specific group of steroidal glycosides, belonging to the broader class of natural compounds known as saponins (either steroidal or triterpenoid).
NOW Sports uses Tribulus extract derived from authentic Bulgarian leaves, containing the standardized compound protodioscin along with the full spectrum of saponin glycosides characteristic of the plant. Product quality is verified through HPLC (High Performance Liquid Chromatography), ensuring the purity, authenticity, and potency of the active ingredients.
Tribulus is widely used by top athletes worldwide, but it is also suitable for physically active individuals. With a minimum saponin content of 45%, NOW Sports Tribulus 1,000 mg is considered one of the most potent formulations in the natural supplements market.
