Tribulus Terrestris

Tribulus terrestris is an annual creeping herb of the Zygophyllaceae family, found across southern Europe, Asia, Africa and Australia, whose spiny fruit and aerial parts have a long history of use in Chinese and Ayurvedic herbal tradition. Nustras supplies it as a dried fruit powder and as a fruit extract powder; the plant's characteristic constituents are steroidal saponins such as protodioscin, together with flavonoids and alkaloids.

The material is formulated into botanical and herbal supplements in capsule, tablet and powder form, into multi-herb blends and premixes, into sports-nutrition products, and into functional beverages where a Tribulus terrestris ingredient is required.

The material is a yellow-brown powder. Extract ratio or saponin content, loss on drying, particle size and solvent residues are standardised to specification; identity is confirmed by botanical identification and thin-layer chromatography according to USP methods, and heavy-metal and microbial limits are supplied to specification and confirmed on each lot's certificate of analysis.

Nustras supplies Tribulus terrestris in bulk commercial quantities, in food-grade bags and fibre drums, to manufacturers and formulators internationally, with a certificate of analysis, specification sheet and country-of-origin documentation on every lot. Tribulus terrestris fruit is an accepted botanical ingredient in major supplement markets; buyers confirm the permitted plant part, preparation and claim for their application.
