The following doses have been studied in scientific research:
ADULTS
BY MOUTH:
- For sexual problems that prevent satisfaction during sexual activity: 250 mg tribulus powdered extract three times daily taken after meals for 3 months has been used for women. Also, tribulus extract 7.5 mg daily for 4 weeks has been used for women. 500 mg three times daily for 3 months has been used for men. *
Dosage for Tribulus terrestris capsules can range from 250–1,500 milligrams daily for the treatment of sexual dysfunction. Supplements also typically list the concentration of saponins, which are the beneficial compound found within Tribulus terrestris extract that are believed to be responsible for their effects on health. This amount can influence how much Tribulus terrestris you should take; most supplements contain 45–60 percent saponins, so if yours contains a higher amount, you’ll need a lower dosage to achieve the same results.
That being said, it’s always best to follow the dosage instructions listed on your Tribulus terrestris supplement to maximize the effectiveness. You may also want to start with a lower dose and slowly work your way up to assess your tolerance.
Tribulus terrestris is available in capsule, powder or liquid extract form, depending on your personal preference, and can be found in most pharmacies and health stores as well as online retailers. Check the ingredients label carefully and select a supplement with minimal added ingredients or fillers to get the most bang for your buck. *
