Synopsis
Source of validity: Traditional
Rating (out of 5): 2
Tribulus terrestris has a long history of use in traditional medicine systems, particularly in Ayurveda and Traditional Chinese Medicine. In these traditions, tribulus has been used to support female reproductive health, including the management of menstrual disorders, enhancement of libido, and improvement of fertility. The plant is believed to possess adaptogenic and aphrodisiac properties, which have contributed to its use for hormonal balance and reproductive function.
However, scientific studies specifically focusing on the effects of tribulus on the female reproductive system are limited. Most available research has been conducted on animal models or focuses on male reproductive health. A few small human or animal studies suggest potential benefits for ovarian function and hormonal modulation, but these findings are preliminary and not robustly established. As such, the use of tribulus for female reproductive support remains primarily rooted in traditional practices, rather than modern scientific validation.
In summary, while there is a significant traditional basis for the use of tribulus in supporting the female reproductive system, high-quality clinical evidence is lacking. More research is needed to clarify its efficacy and safety in this context.
