Quick Answer
Tribulus Exercise Performance Randomized Trial has evidence relevant to benefits, uncertainty, and practical interpretation, but conclusions should stay close to the cited sources. One representative finding is: Background High intensity and endurance exercises lead to exercise-induced oxidative stress (EIOS), exercise-induced muscle damage (EIMD), and inflammation, which are the influencing factors on muscle soreness, localized swelling, and sports performance decrease.
Key Takeaways
- 01Background High intensity and endurance exercises lead to exercise-induced oxidative stress (EIOS), exercise-induced muscle damage (EIMD), and inflammation, which are the influencing factors on muscle soreness, localized swelling, and sports performance decrease. [Nejati M (2022)]
- 02Therefore, the purpose of this study is to determine the effectiveness of Tribulus terrestris (TT) as an herbal supplement with antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties on the nutritional, oxidative, inflammatory, and anti-inflammatory status, as well as the sports performance of recreational runners. [Nejati M (2022)]
- 03Supplement of TT extracts increased serum testosterone levels on male rats,,,,primates, rabbits and castrated rats.Our previous studies demonstrated that TT extracts improved exercise performance of rats with high-intensity endurance trainingand overload trainingby increasing plasma level of testosterone. [Ma Yiming (2017)]
- 04More clinical trials should be carried out to get a clear conclusion about the effectiveness of TT extracts. [Ma Yiming (2017)]

- The mobile phase consisted of water containing 0.1% formic acid (A) and acetonitrile containing 0.1% formic acid (B) with the following gradient: 0–1.0 min, 5% B; 1.1–6.0 min linearly increased B from 5% to 20%; 6.1–9.0 min, linearly increased B from 20% to 50%; 9.1–13.0 min, linearly increased B from 50% to 95%; 13.1–18.0 min, 95%.

Evidence levels are sorting aids, not final clinical grades. Level 1 usually indicates systematic-review style evidence, level 2 indicates randomized trials or public-health guidance, and lower levels need more cautious wording.
