Synopsis

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

Tribulus alatus, a plant in the Zygophyllaceae family, is closely related to Tribulus terrestris and has traditionally been used in folk medicine in various regions, particularly the Middle East and North Africa, as an aphrodisiac and general tonic. The traditional use of Tribulus alatus to support male reproductive health and enhance vitality is often extrapolated from its more widely studied relative, Tribulus terrestris. Some animal studies on Tribulus alatus have reported increased testosterone levels and improved sexual behavior in rats, but these results have not been strongly corroborated in human studies. Overall, the scientific evidence supporting its role in boosting testosterone in humans is limited and not robust. The traditional use, however, is well documented in regional ethnobotanical literature, and the plant continues to be used in traditional medicine systems for male health. Due to the lack of high-quality human clinical trials, the evidence rating remains low, although the historical use is established.
