What is Tribulus Powder?

Tribulus Powder is the ground aerial parts and fruit of Tribulus terrestris, a low, sprawling plant with small yellow flowers and hard, spiny burs. The burs are sharp enough to puncture a bicycle tire, which is where the English common name Puncture Vine comes from.

About the plant

Tribulus turns up under different names across several old traditions: Gokshura in Ayurveda, Bai Ji Li in traditional Chinese herbalism, and Tribulus in Greek and European herbalism. Now globally distributed as a warm-climate weed, it was originally native to the Mediterranean region and South Asia. Its studied constituents include steroidal saponins such as protodioscin, along with flavonoids.
