Discover a zest for life with Tribulus terrestris
Tribulus terrestris This annual plant, which grows as a summer plant in warm climates, including Mediterranean, subtropical and desert regions, is known as a natural supplement for men, often referred to as ‘green Viagra’ (it naturally boosts testosterone levels). One of the lesser-known facts about Tribulus terrestris is its historical use not only in medicine, but also in agriculture and everyday life. Its spiny fruits were used to protect grain from pests and also inspired the design of military traps, such as spikes to deter cavalry. The plant is an important part of traditional medical systems, and its use is recognised in Greek, Ayurvedic and traditional Chinese medicine.
