saponins, proteins, phenols, flavonoids, glycosides and large amounts of vitamin C.
Tribulus species and how their different extracts of active ingredients
Tribulus is a common herb in Europe and Asia, in different geographical areas found significant differences in
the proportion of active plant substances.
Protodiostsinat, which is the most active saponin in triblusa and who allegedly has muskuloizgrazhdashti
properties is contained in the largest quantities in Bulgarian, Turkish and gatherings in Macedonia Tribulus.
These three types contained almost twice as much protodioscin than other species.
Moreover, Indian and Vietnamese Tribulus missing important steroidal saponins as tribestin and prototribestin
but tribulozin concentrations are several times more.
Scientists found that the geographic location affects the balance of saponins as Tribulus growing in South East
Europe and West Asia is very rich protodioscin and those in South Asia and the Far East is rich in saponins
tribulozin and gitogenni.
There are other types of Tribulus, which differ in their content of active ingredients. Tribulus pentandrus is
extremely rich in bioflavonoids such as quercetin, kaempferol and tricine, it exerts a powerful antioxidant
properties.
Tritsinat completely lacking in Tribulus terrestris. Another popular type used in some sports formulas is
Tribulus alatus, which contains steroidal glycosides similar to those in trubulus terrestris. There is a study that
demonstrates the ability of Tribulus alatus to increased testosterone in rats.
How does Tribulus Terrestris?
Like most herbs, and trubulus terrestris has a whole complex of bioactive plant substances that can affect certain
processes in the body.
Tribulus is rich in saponins, which are derived metabolic substances in plants. Saponins in Tribulus are based on
steroid skeleton and therefore they are called steroidal saponins.
The main steroid saponin in Tribulus terrestris is protodioscin, which in some cases may constitute up to 45%

by weight of dry extract. Other saponins in Tribulus are psevdoprotodiostsin, dioscin, tribulozin, prototribestin
and tribestin, spirostanol and furostanol.
Despite many conflicting data, the researchers argue that the main mechanism of action of Tribulus is bound by
its effect on hormones. In men, it increases luteinizing hormone in the testes, which is formed by testosterone.
In women not Tribulus increases testosterone and regulate female hormones.
Of the other active substances in the herb phenols constitute about 18% of the water extract and vitamin C
concentrations reach 900 mg per 100 g. This implies certain antioxidant properties of the herb.
What to combine Tribulus Terrestris?
Tribulus is an herb that is not expressed by the side effects and adverse reactions with other similar herbs or
substances and therefore can be combined with a wide range of nutritional supplements.
If the user aims to stimulate hormones and assume that Tribulus has a positive influence on them, then the herb
can be combined with other herbs like nettle root, Sao Palmetto, Epimedium, amino acids such as D-aspartic
acid or micronutrients such as zinc, magnesium and vitamin D.
To increase muscle mass suitable combination with creatine monohydrate, whey protein and leucine. Old
School in the gym and bodybuilding recommends combining Tribulus with ecdysterone, as most potential
would extract levzeya, the only source of ecdysterone that shows the benefits of research. The combination of
Tribulus and levzeya demonstrated improved libido and quality of sperm.

can be taken on an empty stomach before or after meals.
Although not toxic in recommended doses, Tribulus can be dangerous when taken in extremely high amounts.
In a rat study, scientists found that a dose equivalent to 80 mg / kg weight of human being, is completely safe
and non-toxic. On the other hand higher doses and doses of about 118-143 mg / kg bw can be extremely
dangerous and toxic.
