Supporting Healthy Libido
While it’s more likely to be a topic of conversation after a few drinks with friends rather than at a casual BBQ, you may be wondering about ingredients in the natural health space that have been shown to be useful in supporting healthy sexual function in both males and females.
While it’s been around for centuries, Tribulus terrestris is certainly a herb of interest.
Tribulus terrestris, commonly referred to as just Tribulus, is a small leafy plant which grows in many places around the world, including parts of Europe, Asia, Africa, India and the Middle East.
Tribulus has a long history of traditional use in Ayurvedic medicine as an aphrodisiac to enhance healthy libido. The plant contains an important steroidal saponin, known as protodioscin, considered to be the main compound responsible for the herb’s therapeutic effect in both men and women.
The therapeutic value of Tribulus is often determined by its protodioscin content, with the amount of protodioscin in Tribulus varying depending on the plant part used and the country of origin, with research supporting the saponin content of Tribulus terrestris differs across different bioclimatic regions[1].
With a high-strength protodioscin level in mind, Herbs of Gold Bulgarian Tribulus Complex has been formulated using a combination of both Bulgarian and Indian Tribulus with over 300mg of protodioscin per tablet.
Bulgarian Tribulus Complex contains over 13g of herbal Tribulus, supporting healthy libido and healthy sexual function in both males and females.
