Although such products are typically combinations of ingredients that include Tribulus, rather than Tribulus alone, the scientific evidence for product effectivenenss is typically lacking. At this time, Supplement watch does not view Tribulus extract (on its own) as a valuable dietary supplement for muscle building. As a support ingredient contained in a wider supplement blend, Tribulus may provide some benefits to those individuals interested in maintaining testosterone levels in the normal range (overtrained athletes and dieters).
