TRIBULUS

Some body builders use Tribulus terrestris as post cycle therapy or "PCT". After they have completed an anabolic-steroid cycle, they use it under the assumption that it will restore the body's natural testosterone levels.

The extract is claimed to increase the body's natural testosterone levels and thereby improve male sexual performance and help build muscle. Its purported muscle-building potential was popularized by American IFBB bodybuilding champion Jeffrey Petermann in the early 1970s. However, Tribulus terrestris has failed to increase testosterone levels in controlled studies.

In Ayurvedic pharmacology, tribulus terrestris is used as a powder form of the aerial parts, particularly the fruits and it is known in Sanskrit as gokshura, meaning the "cow's hoof". Gokshura is believed to contribute to overall physical, as well as sexual, strength by building all the tissues, especially shukra dhatu (reproductive tissue) but it is not considered as a particular vajikarana (sexual functions) herb. It is believed to be useful in kidney, bladder, urinary tract and uro-genital related conditions, where it is said to act as a diuretic.

In traditional Chinese medicine Tribulus terrestris is known under the name bai ji li (白蒺藜)
