NATURAMEDICIN HERBARIUM
Tribulus terrestris
A small herb whose fruits have a story of their own.
Tribulus grows close to the ground, but it is easy to remember. Yellow flowers open among its small leaflets, followed by hard, spiny fruits. They resemble little anchors and inspired the plant's Czech name. Tribulus has featured in herbal tradition for many centuries.
THE PLANT'S ROLE
What makes tribulus interesting?
Tribulus supports urinary system function.
This is why the herb attracts attention in relation to the body's natural excretory functions. Different parts are used in formulas; INETHAN uses the fruit.
From warm regions to sunny sites
Tribulus (Tribulus terrestris) grows in many warmer parts of Europe, Asia and Africa. It favours sunny, dry sites and well-drained soil. Its low stems spread outwards, and small yellow flowers appear in summer.
A fruit shaped like a little anchor
After flowering, a hard fruit develops and splits into spiny sections. This is more than a distinctive feature for identification: it is the tribulus fruit that provides the material for the extract used in INETHAN. The aerial parts are a different part of the plant.
Tribulus and testosterone: what can you expect?
Tribulus is known in both Ayurveda and Chinese herbal tradition. Its characteristic compounds include saponins.
It is often described as a “men's herb” or discussed in relation to testosterone. However, results from human studies are inconsistent; its presence in a supplement does not promise an increase in testosterone. The full ingredients list and the product's suitability for the individual matter when choosing.
When to seek advice
If you take medicines for blood pressure or diabetes, or diuretics, discuss using tribulus with your doctor or pharmacist. It may also cause digestive discomfort.
