Tribulus Terrestris has been used traditionally as a fertility and reproductive health herb for hundreds of years. In more modern time Tribulus has proven true to its reputation. This south Asian herb can be used by both men and women while most studies have been on its effects on sperm health.
A study conducted on women who were not ovulating to see if Tribulus could stimulate ovulation. 67% realized normalized ovulation. In this same study it was shown that tribulus used with ovarian stimulation drugs produced better results then using the drug alone.
Another study was done with men to determine if Tribulus would be effective for men with sperm antibodies. Sperm antibodies impair the sperm from penetrating the cervical mucous . The study showed a 61% increase in conception in couples with sperm antibodies causing their infertility.
Tribulus has been shown in studies to help:
-Improve sex drive
-Increase sperm count
-Improve sperm motility
-Promote sperm viability
-Possibly stimulate ovulation
-Decreased the effects of sperm antibodies

Hi
I just hade my FSH levels tested and it came back at 18 (was 55 last July)
just wondering if I can use tribulus? My acpuncturist said to take 2 capsules per day from cd 5 to ovulation.
I’m a little concerned as from what I’ve read tribulus increases FSH???
Hi Debbie,
I am not sure where you read that Tribulus may increase FSH, I have not heard this. I think it is good that you are working with your acupuncturist and it is better to work closely with a practitioner that can monitor your progress and adjust accordingly, that is a much higher quality of care as opposed to advice from the internet. An practioner like your acupuncturist knows your health history, I don’t.
Best Wishes,
Dalene
