Ingredients per caplet (daily dose): Tribulus terrestris (aerial parts, organic powder, 1% saponins) 438mg + Tribulus terrestris (organic fruit extract, 18% saponins) 250mg. Certified organic wild-harvested plant. No other ingredients.
Benefits
The dual powder + fruit extract approach: why Himalaya Organic Tribulus is superior to simple crushed Tribulus:
Himalaya explicitly distinguishes its Organic Tribulus from most Tribulus supplements on the market that use only simple crushed Tribulus (whole plant powder without standardization). Himalaya Organic Tribulus uses a combination of two distinct fractions with complementary saponin profiles: the aerial parts powder (438mg) provides the complete phytochemical matrix of the plant, including all flavonoids, phenolic acids, and steroidal alkaloids in addition to saponins; the fruit extract standardized to 18% saponins (250mg) concentrates protodioscins and other steroidal saponins from the fruit — which are the compounds with the most documented activity in supporting testosterone and reproductive function. This combination results in a total saponin dose of ~49.4mg per caplet (~4.4mg from the aerial parts + 45mg from the fruit extract), superior to most non-standardized or low-standardized Tribulus products.
Gokshura in the Ayurvedic tradition: the rasayana for vigor and vitality:
Tribulus terrestris (Gokshura, "cow's foot" in Sanskrit, due to the shape of the fruit's spines) is classified in Ayurvedic medicine as a rasayana — the highest category of plants in Ayurvedic pharmacognosy, reserved for adaptogens that "rejuvenate" tissues, impart vigor and vitality, prolong youth, and improve long-term quality of life. Gokshura is described in classic Ayurvedic texts (Charaka Samhita, Ashtanga Hridayam) as a tonic for the male genitourinary system, for reproductive function (seminal vitality), and for physical strength. Modern science has partially confirmed these descriptions — Tribulus is one of the most studied supplements for male health in a Western scientific context, although with mixed results regarding testosterone increase.
Support for male reproductive health and libido: protodioscin as a hormonal precursor:
The most studied mechanism of action of Tribulus is the support for male reproductive health and libido via protodioscins (furostanol steroidal saponins, the main bioactive components of Tribulus fruit). The most established hypothesis is that protodioscins stimulate the release of LH (Luteinizing Hormone) by the anterior pituitary, which in turn stimulates Leydig cells in the testes to produce testosterone. Some studies in men with sexual dysfunction have documented improved libido, erectile function, and seminal parameters with standardized Tribulus extracts. The clinical trial by Roaiah et al. (2016), published in the Journal of Sexual Medicine, documented that Tribulus extract (750 to 1500mg/day) significantly improved erectile function and sexual satisfaction in men with mild to moderate erectile dysfunction vs. placebo. Gokshura's support for the LH-testosterone axis is more moderate and gradual than stimulating testosterone boosters — suitable for long-term preventive and maintenance use.
Support for the urinary tract and prostate health:
In addition to hormonal and libido support, Tribulus terrestris has well-documented diuretic and urinary antiseptic properties in Ayurvedic medicine and supported by pharmacological studies. Gokshura increases urinary output, reduces the precipitation of oxalate crystals in urine (anti-lithogenic effect synergistic with Cystone when used in combination), and has anti-inflammatory effects on the urinary tract mucosa. Support for prostate health is attributed to the anti-inflammatory action of saponins on the prostatic epithelium and Gokshura's effect in reducing 5-alpha-reductase activity (the enzyme that converts testosterone to DHT, responsible for benign prostatic hypertrophy).
Maintenance of muscle tone and energy: the adaptogenic effect of Gokshura:
Tribulus terrestris has documented adaptogenic properties — it reduces oxidative stress, supports mitochondrial function, and improves resistance to physical fatigue. In a sports context, Gokshura is often used by athletes and bodybuilders to support muscle tone, pain resistance, and energy levels — functions that Himalaya Wellness also states for Organic Tribulus. The association of Gokshura with muscle support is consistent with its status as a rasayana (tissue tonic) in Ayurvedic medicine.
Certified Organic + excipient-free: the purity that distinguishes Himalaya Organic Tribulus:
USDA Certified Organic and Non-GMO Project Verified certifications guarantee that the Tribulus terrestris used in the product is grown and processed without synthetic pesticides, herbicides, chemical fertilizers, or genetic modification. The absence of magnesium stearate (a common but mostly animal-derived tablet lubricant in supplements), animal gelatin (capsules), and artificial fillers makes Himalaya Organic Tribulus a vegan supplement of maximum purity. The caplet is held together by the plant's own adhesive constituents — a unique Himalaya formulation technology that completely eliminates external excipients.
Uses
Recommended dose: Take 1 caplet daily with a meal. The dose of 1 caplet/day is the moderate daily support dose — for a greater hormonal support effect, some sources recommend 2 caplets/day (morning and evening with meals), but check individual suitability with a healthcare professional. 60 caplets = 2 months' supply at 1 caplet/day. Gluten-free, wheat-free, corn-free, soy-free, or dairy-free.
