The Sexual Health Benefits of Tribulus Terrestris

Tribulus Terrestris is a popular herbal supplement used to increase testosterone levels, sex drive, and DHEA. plant which is extracted from the supplement is more commonly known as puncturevine, which is native to southern Asia, southern Europe, and Africa. In this article I will discuss some research that explains how Tribulus functions in the human body.
the active chemical components of Tribulus Terrestris as a steroid saponins. Most active steroidal saponins in Tribulus called Protodioscin. Protodioscin been shown to trigger the release of nitric oxide in the erectile tissue in the penis. Nitric oxide signals the blood vessels in the penis to dilate (vasodilation), increases blood flow and leads to a fuller, firmer erections. In animal studies, Protodioscin was found to dramatically increase testosterone and DHEA levels.

DHEA (dehydroepiandrosterone) is a steroid hormone that is secreted from the adrenal glands. This is the most abundant steroid in the body. In a study conducted at the University of Airlangga, Tribulus was found to significantly raise DHEA levels in adult men (55% in diabetics and 85% in non-diabetics). As a result, the sex drive has increased in 60% of men suffer from erectile problems (DHEA levels increased in men who suffer from erectile dysfunction, although a smaller amount ).

In animal studies Tribulus terrestris has demonstrated its ability to increase testosterone levels as high as 50%. This was accomplished Protodioscin mechanism, which increases the luteinizing hormone (LH), a hormone that signals the body to produce testosterone. There is an ongoing debate in the scientific community about whether or not human Tribulus may increase testosterone levels above the normal range, but it is generally agreed that it can help restore balance and normal testosterone levels in men who suffer from suboptimal levels.
