• Bulgarian Tribulus Complex contains a combination of Bulgarian and
Indian Tribulus. Tribulus is a popular widespread herb found in China,
southern Europe, eastern Asia and extending into western Asia. It
has a long history of use in traditional medicine systems, including
Chinese and Ayurvedic medicine.
• Tribulus terrestris is the most commonly supplemented species of the
Tribulus genera. A variety of compounds are present at varying ratios
depending on the plant part used. The fruits and root plant parts
contain a mixture of different steroidal saponins.
• Steroidal saponins are considered to be the most important
constituent responsible for the biological activity of Tribulus. They
consist of a furostanol or spirostanol-based aglycone and an
oligosaccharide attached to a steroid nucleus. The main chemical
components of the fruit are steroidal saponins, protodioscin,
tribulosaponins A and B, tribulosin and terrestrosina A–K.
• The main furostanol saponins in Tribulus are protodioscin and
prototribestin. Protodioscin is a steroidal saponin commonly seen
as the main active constituent of Tribulus, comprising 45% of most
dry extracts. Levels of protodioscin are not consistent as it greatly
depends on the soil in which Tribulus is grown. For this reason,
standardised Tribulus formulations are important.
• Bulgarian Tribulus Complex is a standardised formulation with a total
saponin content of ≥40% and contains over 300mg of protodioscin
per tablet.
