Rating (out of 5): 2

Tribulus alatus is traditionally used to support the reproductive system, particularly in the context of male sexual health and fertility. Historical texts and ethnobotanical surveys indicate that Tribulus species, including T. alatus, have been employed in various traditional medicine systems, especially in North Africa and the Middle East, for their purported aphrodisiac and fertility-enhancing properties. The plant is believed to improve libido, enhance sperm quality, and balance reproductive hormones.

However, while there are numerous traditional claims, the scientific evidence specifically supporting the efficacy of Tribulus alatus for reproductive health is limited and largely preliminary. A small number of animal studies suggest that extracts of T. alatus may influence testosterone levels and sperm parameters, but these findings are not consistently replicated in human trials, and the sample sizes tend to be small. Most available scientific research focuses on a related species, Tribulus terrestris, rather than T. alatus itself. Therefore, while the traditional use is well-documented, robust clinical evidence is lacking, and the scientific community considers the level of support for its reproductive system benefits to be modest at best.

In summary, the use of Tribulus alatus to support the reproductive system is justified primarily by tradition, with a limited and inconclusive scientific basis at present.
