Tribulus Terrestris
or "Puncture Vine", traditionally used in the treatment of
prostate and urinary difficulties, has more recently been found by Eastern
European athletes to be effective as a performance enhancer, increasing
strength & endurance during workouts. It has also been reported to have a
stimulating effect on the immune, sexual and reproductive systems, with
improved muscle building, stamina and endurance. Other positive changes
observed in a number of cases are reduction in cholesterol, enhanced mood
and well-being. |

Men:
In men, it stimulates the secretion of leutinising hormone (LH), which in
turn stimulates the gonads to produce more testosterone. In one study of
men aged 28-45, it increased testosterone levels by as much as 30% over a
five-day period. Other studies using Tribulus have shown an increase in
sperm production and motility, as well as increased sexual activity.
Studies on 212 men at The Chemical Pharmaceutical Institute in
Sofia,
Bulgaria
on Tribulus showed improved reproductive functions and indicated that it
increases libido, frequency and strength of erections and sexual reflexes
(recovery from sexual activity). Other positive changes include reduced
cholesterol levels, and positive psychological effects such as improved
mood and increased self-confidence. No adverse effects were noted in
clinical studies.
Women:
Tribulus
has been found to improve libido and alleviate vasomotor and neuro-psychic
symptoms of the menopause (hot flushes, depression & emotional
instability). Regular use of Tribulus for several months often
significantly decreases intensity and occurrences of hot flushes,
insomnia, general tenseness, sweating, insomnia, irritability, depression,
apathy & loss of sexual interest. Two thirds of women treated reported
increased sex drive after using Tribulus. In studies the effect of a 45%
extract of tribulus was found to be equivalent and in some cases, even
better in relieving many menopausal symptoms than an estrogen/testosterone
hormonal preparation. Furthermore it did not cause the adverse side
effects of the estrogen/testosterone preparation which included
virilisation (masculini-sation) and weight gain.
Liver:
The liver is a major
synthesizer of hormones. They are synthesized from cholesterol, so a herb
such as Tribulus that has a stimulating effect on the liver, will have a
major influence on cholesterol and other products of the liver. Tribulus’
role as a liver tonic is very important - breaking down the cholesterol
and fats that inhibit healthy liver function. The cholesterol and fats are
converted to hormones and energy, resulting in increased performance and
stamina. This role of improving liver function,
stamina and endurance is particularly beneficial to athletes and
bodybuilders.
