Although people often take Tribulus terrestris for its potential effects on sexual function and testosterone, it has also been studied for other important effects : it improves blood sugar control and cholesterol in people with diabetes..Tribulus terrestris does not appear to increase testosterone in humans, but research has found that Tribulus terrestris may improve libido in women and men with reduced sex drives..Saponins are chemical compounds in Tribulus terrestris, and they are mainly responsible for its health benefits. Beside the furanosterol, one of these steroidal saponins is protodioscin, indicated as chemically close to DHEA, the steroid hormone with recognized effects. Tribulus extract can also provide plant sterols - phytosterols - such as beta-sitosterols, commonly mentioned for certain prostate or urinary system problems.- for men : due to those saponins, the extracts are refered to improve erectile functions, fertility (sperm mobility, through the luteinizing hormone pathway), and the synthesis of free testoterone (in men with problems: erectile, fertility, libido, etc.)
- In Asia, tribulus is also used by postmenopausal women to increase libido and intervene in the synthesis of estradiols
