Synopsis

Source of validity: Traditional
Rating (out of 5): 2

Tribulus alatus, a plant related to the more widely known Tribulus terrestris, has been traditionally used in some regions, particularly in Middle Eastern and North African folk medicine, to support male reproductive health and vitality. Historical and anecdotal reports indicate its use as an aphrodisiac and to enhance male virility, suggesting a role in supporting the testes and related functions. However, scientific evidence specific to Tribulus alatus is limited. Some animal studies (e.g., on rats) have indicated possible improvements in testosterone levels and sperm parameters, but these studies are few and often preliminary. Most of the broader claims about Tribulus species and male reproductive support stem from research on Tribulus terrestris, not T. alatus. There are no large-scale, high-quality human clinical trials confirming its effectiveness for testicular or overall male reproductive health. Thus, while traditional use exists and some early data are suggestive, the quality and quantity of scientific evidence remain low, justifying a modest evidence rating.
