Rating (out of 5): 1

Tribulus Terrestris has a long history of use in traditional medicine systems, particularly in Ayurveda and Traditional Chinese Medicine, where it has been utilized to address various urinary and reproductive disorders, including symptoms that may be associated with benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), such as urinary frequency or difficulty. However, the use of Tribulus Terrestris specifically for BPH is primarily based on traditional practices rather than modern scientific validation. Most traditional use focuses on its perceived diuretic and anti-inflammatory properties, which are thought to help alleviate urinary symptoms.

Scientific evidence supporting the effectiveness of Tribulus Terrestris for BPH is limited and of low quality. A few preclinical studies suggest potential anti-inflammatory or antioxidant effects, but robust human clinical trials addressing BPH symptoms are lacking. The bulk of research on Tribulus Terrestris in humans has centered on its effects on libido, sexual function, and testosterone levels, rather than direct effects on prostate enlargement or urinary symptoms related to BPH. Therefore, while Tribulus Terrestris is used in some traditional herbal blends for prostate and urinary health, there is insufficient high-quality evidence to recommend its use for BPH based on current scientific standards.
