Tribulus Terrestris: a plant with secrets
Better blood circulation in vessel walls
Tribulus Terrestris is an annual plant of the Zygophyllaceae family that has been used for generations as it is believed to activate, revitalize and enhance sexual function and physical performance. The fruit and roots of Tribulus Terrestris have been used as a folk medicine in China, India, Sudan and Pakistan for thousands of years. The extract obtained from the roots of the plant is said to have a positive effect on the testosterone level, but this has never been proven. It has been proven that it has a positive effect on the blood circulation in the vessel walls. This allows it to support potency.
Protection and lowering of blood sugar
The fruit of the plant has a more protective effect on the function of the organs. In addition to these benefits, the herb appears to be able to lower blood sugar. This can be very good news for people with type 2 diabetes or people who are at an increased risk of developing type 2 diabetes. When burning fat, it is also important that blood sugar does not rise too quickly. A rapid rise gives a boost for minutes, followed by fatigue. This is then compensated by eating foods with a lot of sugar and you end up in a vicious cycle. This can lead to obesity and increases the risk of diabetes. When 100 mg per kg was administered to laboratory animals, a scientific study showed that Tribulus Terrestris can halve the blood sugar.
Other benefits
One compound, tribulosin, is said to have a strong effect on the cardiovascular system. However, no very specific research has ever been conducted into this. Still, that means a very promising benefit.
Tribulus gives you more energy during exercise. In addition to all the benefits, the plant has a diuretic effect. Tribulus is an aphrodisiac and naturally stimulates masculinity. In short, a powerful herbal preparation with many benefits that will be subject to a lot of research!
In short : the research into this versatile plant is far from over and will continue. We can hardly wait for more information to be discovered and substantiated. We will continue to monitor it.
