Tribulus terrestris
Tribulus terrestris is composed of saponins, including glycosides ruscogenin, chlorogenin and protogracillin. The plant also contains flavonoids (kaempferol, quercetin and rutin), phytosterols and indole alkaloids (harmanine and harmane).
In addition, its activity most documented by studies corresponds to its effects on libido and sexual activity, in both men and women:
A randomized, placebo-controlled trial: 67 women with hypoactive sexual desire disorder were randomly assigned to Tribulus terrestris extract (7.5 mg/day) and a placebo for 4 weeks. Conclusion of this study: Tribulus terrestris can safely and effectively improve desire in these women.
A prospective, randomized, double-blind study: Results are mixed and inconclusive on men with erectile dysfunction. The dosage is 800 mg divided into doses of 400 mg, twice a day.
A prospective, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial: This study involved 180 men aged 18-65 with mild to moderate erectile dysfunction , with or without hypoactive sexual desire disorder: 90 were randomized to the TT group and 90 to the placebo group. Dosage: 1500mg per day. Sexual desire seems to have been increased.
