Revives libido and intensifies performance

Gokshura (Small Caltrops/Tribulus terrestris) has been used for centuries as a general tonic by the Ancient Greeks. It is used in Ayurvedic medicine to maintain efficient kidney and urinary function and in reducing renal discomfort. It is effective in treating urinary tract disorders because it promotes the flow of urine and cools and soothes the membranes of the urinary tract. Gokshura has also been described as an aphrodisiac herb in Ayurveda.

In traditional Chinese medicine, Gokshura is used to support the normal function of the male reproductive system. Bodybuilders and athletes frequently add the herb to their health regimen as a supplement supporting normal levels of testosterone production in the body.

Researchers at the Chemical Pharmaceutical Research Institute in Sofia, Bulgaria, were researching Gokshura as far back as the 1970s. Clinical trials in the 1990s in India studied Gokshura as a traditional tonic, showing it supported the body’s normal level of energy production (Indian Drugs, 1993;30(10):498-500).

Gokshura is found throughout Asia, the Middle East, Africa and Southern Europe, in sandy soils. Gokshura is also found as a weed on cultivated fields and in waste lands.
