Product Notes:
Tribulus has been used by body builders in training because many believe it raises natural testosterone levels (if used in the right dosage), which promotes increased muscle mass or strength.
Tribulus also has antibacterial and antifungal activities, including against E. coli (the main factor underlying urinary tract infections).
Minimum of 45% Saponins
Recent research indicates Tribulus can support the body's free radical defense systems and initial studies suggest it may indeed help promote healthy endocrine function and male reproductive health, and support urinary health. The herb has been standardized in these capsules to contain a minimum of 45% Saponins to deliver consistent and reliable results.
