So you have gotten over your aversion to ingesting a supplement derived from a spiny, noxious weed also known as puncture vine, thanks to its sharp protrusions that can, well, puncture you.
So what should you expect it to do for you?
One Iraqi study showed that certain parts of the tribulus terrestris plant can help people fight off infection. Taking extracts from the plant's leaves and roots and fruit and applying them to parts of the body prone to fungus and bacteria, the researchers found that tribulus terrestris can help cure urinary tract infections.
There are other positive effects that proponents say can result from the use of tribulus terrestris. One use of tribulus terrestris, is through a supplement created to make both men and women more amorous by increasing sexual desire. And, not only might tribulus terrestris serve as an aphrodisiac, but it might even help men with impotence issues.
There is a long list of ways that proponents say tribulus terestris can help you. Some say tribulus terrestris is an alternative treatment for diseases like high blood pressure, kidney stones and gonorrhea. It may take on the heartbreak of psoriasis. And some say it may even help treat some forms of cancer.
Despite all these claims and suggestions, a lack of scientifically sound studies raises questions about just how effective tribulus terrestris can be.
