Your health, your way—powered by the right stack.
Tribulus terrestris is one of the best herbs around for inducing a profound sense of confidence, energy, and libido.* These effects translate to many areas of life. The increased confidence allows you to approach challenging workouts with more aggression, yet on the flipside, it can give you that much needed charismatic confidence during a presentation or important meeting. The energizing effects are great for increasing motivation! Laying in bed, endlessly scrolling through social media hoping for that spark of motivation in the morning? Take some Tribulus, and within 15-30 minutes you’ll be jumping out of bed, getting absorbed in the tasks you need to complete for the day with the energy and drive to complete them effortlessly*. Later in the day, when you are switching gears to leisure mode, be ready for the jump in libido, it’s not subtle!
So, why choose our Tribulus terrestris? There are a number of reasons for this, first of all, we selected this extract based on both rigorous analytical testing, but also bioassaying! This is a fancy way of saying we actually tried out a bunch of different Tribulus extracts on ourselves to see which one produced the best results. We discovered that a lot of Tribulus extracts can induce a very unpleasant sense of agitation, which drastically lowers its usefulness. After a while, we found an extract that struck a perfect balance. It gave us tons of confidence, but didn’t push us into a state of agitation. With that in mind, think of our Tribulus terrestris as a powerful, yet smooth extract, which seems to be somewhat rare!* Standardized to a whopping 20% protodioscin, this is certainly not one to miss!
If you are a bicyclist, you’ve probably had a few too many annoying encounters with this plant! Tribulus terrestris is an annual plant in the caltrop family, and is widespread throughout the world these days. In fact, in most areas of the world it is considered to be a noxious weed that produces incredibly sharp seed pods that can pierce straight through a bicycle tire! Due to this, it is no surprise that it is nicknamed the “puncture vine”. Bicyclists rejoice though, you now get your chance to take revenge on this prick…ly little plant, by extracting its life force, gulping it down raw, and obtaining the power of the puncture vine!
Tribulus terrestris has seen a long history of use both in traditional Chinese practices, and Ayurveda. In traditional Chinese practices, it was mainly used for cardiovascular function, metabolic function and even eye health while in Ayurveda it was mainly used for vitality, metabolic function, cardiovascular function and even pain management!
One of the main active compounds in Tribulus terrestris is a steroidal saponin called protodioscin. A lot of Tribulus terrestris benefits can be traced back to this compound, and due to this, we decided to standardize for a whopping 20% protodioscin in our extract!
Tribulus terrestris, mainly through its protodioscin content, has some fascinating effects on lots of different bodily systems. However, one of the most fascinating effects is its ability to enhance dihydrotestosterone (DHT) production. DHT is one of the most potent androgens, exhibiting much greater androgenic potential than testosterone. DHT is also generated from testosterone, via the enzyme 5-alpha reductase (5-AR). Via its protodioscin content, Tribulus terrestris appears to increase 5-AR activity, which in turn ends up converting more testosterone to DHT. This likely underlies a good majority of the confidence boosting effects that Tribulus terrestris can induce. Most importantly, this effect has been verified in a human study (n = 43), which noted significant increases in DHT after Tribulus terrestris supplementation! This study also noted a significant increase in sperm count and motility, meaning Tribulus terrestris could have some majorly beneficial fertility effects!
Switching over to some anecdotal reporting, we noticed strong confidence inducing effects during beta-testing. This confidence boosting effect was also accompanied by a significant energizing effect.* Sitting down behind our desks, writing descriptions like these, almost made us want to jump out of our skin when beta testing the Tribulus! We had a strong urge to be active, move around, talk fast and engage in physically and cognitively demanding tasks. Calmly sitting behind a desk, clearly wasn’t in the cards with Tribulus in our system! With this in mind, Tribulus is great if you need an extra kick to get you motivated for your workouts, or even if you are really dragging in the mornings. If you are able to channel the confidence inducing energy however, it can also be incredibly useful before a presentation or meeting, but beware, the effects can turn on you if you are stressed and will instead turn into a more agitated edgy energy!*
The energizing effects also appear to be due to the beta-carboline content in Tribulus terrestris. This means that it will have a mild monoamine oxidase inhibiting (MAO-i) effect, which boosts energy, focus and mood. We have actually found that the combination of the DHT promoting effects and MAO-i effects can induce great nootropic effects, and this has made the Tribulus extract a real winner in our books!
Tribulus terrestris, likely through its DHT enhancing effects, also has some major effects on libido. This goes hand in hand with the confidence promoting effects. Tribulus also appears to enhance blood flow, so this is an additional bonus when it comes to the libido promoting effects, as we all know blood flow is important there, both for men and women!
The DHT Stack: Tribulus terrestris + Cistanche tubulosa Capsules
In order for Tribulus terrestris to generate DHT, it needs lots of the precursor, testosterone! Thus, it makes perfect sense to stack it with a testosterone enhancing supplement. We have quite a few of these nowadays, however, we chose Cistanche because its slightly calming effects help temper the sometimes frantic nature of Tribulus. Together, they create a very smooth, confidence boosting androgenic stack!*
The Exercise Performance Stack: Tribulus terrestris + Creatine Monohydrate Powder
We are going old school here! Creatine monohydrate is one of the most famous and oldest bodybuilding supplements around, and the rumor has always been that it increases DHT levels. While this is somewhat true, the DHT elevating effects of creatine monohydrate are pretty mild. However, its strength boosting effects are not, and has more to do with its effects on ATP levels. This presents an exciting opportunity here, how about those classic creatine effects, but with much more robust effects on DHT? This is exactly what the combination of Tribulus terrestris and creatine produces!*
The Libido Stack: Tribulus terrestris + Horny Goat Weed Capsules
Well, this is of course a no-brainer, combining the DHT centric libido boosting effects of Tribulus terrestris with the PDE-5 inhibiting effects of horny goat weed! Taken together, you’ll be unstoppable in the bedroom!*
As a dietary supplement, take one 500mg capsule of Tribulus daily.

This gave me a nice feeling of controlled aggression throughout my work day. I have used Tribugen as well, but the Tribulus just seems to give me a better "kick." This did not interfere with my sleep at all. For me, definitely a product well worth using.
Insane energy and drive, but harsh on the stomach and causes insomnia. Would be 5 stars if it was in splittable tablet form. 1 full capsule is way too much for me and I don't want to deal with having to open up the capsule.
No one else found this insanely strong? I only need to take a dab on my finger to get blasted out of my socks. It seems to provide some cognitive effects for concentration/focus, but you feel noticeably distorted while taking it (nothing like Tongkat). Not sure its suitable for socializing/being around people. Once the acute effects wear off you do feel quite masculine. You get that no-nonsense, take charge kind of feeling in your body and mind. This part is great. Hope this helps!
Easily the best nootropic I've tried. One of the very few nootropics that I can feel. Tribulus produces a clean and controllable feeling of aggression, confidence and libido - more pronounced on days I'm properly rested. Tribulus is what I hoped Tongkat would be, which made me feel quite snappy and unfocused, almost flighty. To analogise this comparison, Tribulus feels like the sound of a 4-stroke engine and Tongkat feels like the sound of a 2-stroke engine, both powerful in their own right, but aggression and libido is best when managed. Tribulus is a perfect nootropic for providing extra kick in workouts, and extra punch in your words for social environments.
This definitely the most in your face aggression producing supplement I've tried from ND. I find its use is much more suited to an as needed basis vs taking it every day. Personally I use it on days when I need to go berserk in a workout. On its own it provides a very tangible energy boost and mood boost more on the aggressive side of things. I find this comes at the expense of focus and calm so if you are prone to stress and frustration, you will want to pair this with something to tame the aggression... or at least take this before a workout where you will expend all of your energy!
I've tried multiple Tribulus extracts of both high saponin and protodioscin content, and this one is the best when it comes to the effects tribulus is claimed to have. I noticed a substantial increase in libido and mood when I take 2-3 capsules in a day. This one is gold, don't sleep on this.
I tell you what I took half a pill with some Rhodiola rosea this morning and they are quiet synergistic. Focused with clean energy. Hey after all the burn out from the 90s I will take what I can get. ND has won my trust they are knocking it out of the park. Keep it up Thanks.
I'm glad I discovered this supplement! I've been taking it for a few weeks now, and I'm really impressed with the results. One of the most noticeable effects for me has been a significant improvement in my libido. I feel more confident in my sexual health and overall wellness. I also love the sense of energy and focus that the supplement provides. It really helps me power through my day, whether I'm at work or at the gym. At first, the supplement gave me a big boost of energy, but even after my body adjusted to it, I still feel the benefits. I've found that taking 1-2 capsules in the morning and another one mid-day and in the evening works best for me. It's great that I can tailor the dosage to fit my needs. One thing I appreciate about this supplement is that the effects are subtle yet noticeable. I feel like I can tap into a sense of aggressive or confident energy that I didn't have before. Overall, I'm very satisfied with this product and have already reordered it as soon as I ran out. I highly recommend this supplement to anyone looking to improve their sexual health, energy, and overall confidence.
What to say ...?? male, 45... have tried A LOT of different stuff, over the years, from different providers... always had mixed, "so so", not so obvious results... in particular with Tribulus... but this one, trust me ... is working... !! Not just a supplement, but a weapon!! maybe even TOO effective on me ... took one at 7:30 am .... great overall energy all day, great workout... but... sleepless night ! Totally sleepless... I throwed in the towel at 5:30, jumped out of the bed, took another pill just to see how things will be on day 2... hopefully , more than 17 hours after ingestion, this amazing tribulus will let me sleep tonight!! if not, I maybe will have to split the dose in half... @ND Team : maybe propose a powdered form , easier to dose , or 250mg pills ? if the upcoming reviews are aligned on my experience... In any case, GREAT JOB, the quality of this extract cannot be denied... I know it's the same for all your products, but none of them (Tongkat 2%, 10%, Maca, HGW 10%) had a such pronounced and massive effect on me! ... "now , that's a weapon!" (Resident Evil 4)
tried about 1/3 a capsule to be safe and I'm glad I did, this stuff is a potent mood and energy boost. Probably great for mornings, and for me great prior to an evening workout. I have tried many natural products, and while not all of them are intended to, this is one of the few that certainly has an immediate and noticeable effect. Thanks ND
