Tribulus is an herb with a long history in traditional medicine. In recent years, it has gained popularity as a dietary supplement that has a positive effect on men's health, testosterone, and cardiovascular function.
Description and main properties of tribulus
Tribulus (Tribulus Terrestris) is an annual plant that originates from the warm temperate and tropical regions of the Mediterranean, but is now widespread throughout the world. In our country it is known as grandmother's teeth. It prefers places with a dry climate, where few other plants can withstand. It has yellow flowers and prickly fruits that easily penetrate various surfaces (soles, bicycle tires, fur and the mouths of herbivores) and expand its distribution.
The plant has been popular for centuries in Ayurveda and traditional Chinese medicine as a means of increasing libido and improving athletic performance. Its action is due to the steroid substances it contains, called furostanol steroids. They stimulate the production of the sex hormone testosterone by suppressing natural hormone receptors. This increases the amount of luteinizing hormone (LH), which regulates the secretion of testosterone in the testicles.
Although known as the "male" sex hormone, testosterone is a major factor in good health in both sexes. In addition to sexual activity, it increases energy in the body, red blood cell production, and counteracts osteoporosis.
The dietary supplement Tribulus Extract from Double Wood is one of the most effective on the market. The standardized extract contains up to 95% saponins, while competing products contain around 45%.
Benefits of taking tribulus

The extract helps with erectile dysfunction by affecting the relaxation of the cavernous bodies. In addition, it contributes significantly to improving the sperm count in reproductive problems and slows down age-related changes in the prostate. Tribulus also helps in the treatment of sexual dysfunctions in women. A scientific study shows a significant improvement in indicators such as desire, arousal, pain and satisfaction in those taking the supplement compared to control groups.
