Description

Terrestris plant, which is commonly used in traditional medicine to enhance athletic performance, improve sexual function, and support overall health.

In the food and beverage industry, tribulus extract is sometimes used as a natural flavoring agent in certain products such as energy drinks, protein bars, and nutritional supplements. It is also sometimes added to sports drinks and recovery beverages to help support athletic performance and aid in post-workout recovery.

However, it’s important to note that the use of tribulus extract in food and beverage products is not as common as in dietary supplements, and there is limited scientific evidence to support the benefits of tribulus extract for these uses.
