Tribulus Terrestris extract is also known as puncture vine because its sharp spines can flatten bicycle tires.
People use Tribulus Terrestris extract for sexual disorders, infertility, chest pain, enlarged prostate, and many other conditions, but there is no good scientific evidence to support most of these uses.
Tribulus Terrestris extract is an annual plant in the caltrop family (Zygophyllaceae) widely distributed around the world.
Tribulus Terrestris extract is adapted to thrive in dry climate locations in which few other plants can survive.
It is native to warm temperate and tropical regions in southern Eurasia and Africa.
Tribulus Terrestris extract has been unintentionally introduced to North America and Australia.
An aggressive and hardy invasive species, Tribulus Terrestris extract is widely known as a noxious weed because of its small woody fruit – the bur – having long sharp and strong spines which easily penetrate surfaces, such as bare feet or thin shoes of crop workers and other pedestrians, the rubber of bicycle tires, and the mouths and skin of grazing animals.
Like many weedy species, this plant has numerous common names according to the world region, including goathead, bull's head, gopher-head, caltrop, cat-head, devil's eyelashes, devil's-thorn, devil's-weed, puncturevine, and tackweed.
The stems radiate from the crown to a diameter of about 10 cm (3.9 in) to over 1 m (3 ft 3 in), often branching.
They are usually prostrate, forming flat patches, though they may grow more upwards in shade or among taller plants.
When working to eradicate large areas of Tribulus Terrestris extract, a mix of manual and chemical removal is most effective.
Chemical control poses risks to other plants, soil chemistry and biology, water quality, and animals; it should only be utilized if manual control is insufficiently effective.
Tribulus Terrestris extract can be most effective in combination with manual control; it prevents the annual seeds of T. terrestris from sprouting to make new plants.
This, in combination with removal of existing plants, can swiftly exhaust the seed-bank. Products containing oryzalin, benefin, or trifluralin will provide partial control of germinating seeds.
These must be applied prior to germination (late winter to midspring).
Particularly protodioscin, which is believed to contribute to many of the extract's effects.
