Tribuloside is a flavonoid glycoside found in Tribulus terrestris, a plant traditionally used in various cultures, particularly in Ayurvedic and Traditional Chinese Medicine, to address issues related to low sex drive and sexual dysfunction. The traditional use of Tribulus terrestris extracts for enhancing libido and sexual performance is well-documented, but it is important to note that these traditional claims are based on the whole plant or crude extracts, not isolated tribuloside. There is limited scientific research specifically on tribuloside itself regarding effects on sex drive. However, some preclinical studies on Tribulus terrestris extracts (which contain tribuloside among other constituents) have suggested potential androgenic and libido-enhancing effects, mostly in animal models. Human studies are sparse, and results are mixed or inconclusive. Thus, while tribuloside-containing herbs have a traditional reputation for supporting sex drive, there is not strong direct scientific validation for tribuloside alone in this context. The evidence supporting its use for low sex drive is therefore primarily traditional, with a modest evidence rating due to a lack of robust clinical trials.
