What is Tribulus Terrestris Powdered Extract (PE) 40%?

Tribulus terrestris, also known as puncture vine, is a plant that can be found in moderate and tropical climates in the U.S., Mexico, India, China and other countries in Eastern Europe. It is particularly abundant in India, Pakistan, and Sri Lanka.

Tribulus has a long history of medicinal use in Europe, India, and China. Its traditional usages are varied; it has been recommended for everything from the treatment of water retention, depression, liver, kidney and heart disease to its reputation for increasing sexual capability.

Tribulus terrestris powdered extract is a main ingredient in dietary supplements used by powerlifters, bodybuilders and other athletes who train for strength and maximum power output.

Health Benefits of Tribulus Terrestris PE

Tribulus has been shown in some clinical studies to increase both strength and stamina. Tribulus may indirectly support testosterone production by raising blood levels of luteinizing hormone (Wikipedia), which plays a role in natural testosterone regulation.

Athletes working to increase strength and build muscle mass often combine tribulus terrestris with DHEA and androstenedione (Wikipedia) supplements, a method known as “stacking.”

Purebulk's Tribulus Terrestris contains a minimum of 40% saponins, a type of glycoside compound, that has been studied for its amphiphillic chemical structure. It has cytotoxic and immune modulating properties.
