Tribulus (Tribulus terrestris)
 
Tribulus grows predominantly in India and Africa, is mentioned in ancient Indian Ayurvedic medical texts dating back thousands of years, and is used widely in the Ayurvedic system of medicine for the treatment of sexual dysfunction and various urinary disorders. The active ingredient in Tribulus is marketed as Tribestan. Frequent clinical trials and studies have been carried out using this extract. Tribestan has passed all the drug tests at every competitive level and has been used with significant results by top professional athletes as well as by recreational sport participants with no contraindications, no toxicity and no side-effects.

Tribulus appears to raise natural testosterone production in men via the activation of hormone secretion and estradiol. LH regulates the testosterone production in the testes and high levels of LH coincide with high testosterone levels.
