Excerpt

Tribulus is herbal product prepared from the leaves, fruit and roots of Tribulus terrestris, extracts of which have been used as an aphrodisiac, general tonic and mood stimulant in traditional medicine. The native plant causes serious liver injury in grazing animals, and but tribulus extracts have not been linked convincingly to instances of clinically apparent liver injury when given in typical doses in humans.
