A standardized Tribulus extract at an affordable price, focusing on male vitality, but its claims for direct testosterone boosting and muscle gain are not strongly backed by science.
Swanson Passion's Mega Tribulus Extract provides 250mg of Tribulus terrestris extract standardized for steroidal saponins. Standardization is a positive feature, ensuring a consistent concentration of the believed active compounds. Despite this, robust scientific evidence consistently demonstrating Tribulus's ability to significantly increase natural testosterone levels or directly promote muscle gain in healthy males is generally lacking. Users often report benefits more related to libido and a general sense of vitality rather than profound hormonal changes. The product's extremely low price per serving makes it a highly accessible option for those who wish to experiment with Tribulus.
- Standardized for steroidal saponins, ensuring a concentrated and consistent level of the active compounds.
- Very low price per serving, offering exceptional value for a concentrated Tribulus extract.
- Simple, targeted formula for specific users.
- Scientific evidence for Tribulus terrestris directly boosting testosterone or promoting muscle gain in healthy individuals remains generally weak.
- The 250mg dosage, while concentrated, might be considered on the lower end compared to some studies using higher doses of extract.
- Users may not experience the dramatic effects implied by 'Mega' given the ingredient's scientific limitations.
- Temper expectations regarding significant testosterone increases or muscle growth, as scientific support for these effects is limited.
- Consult a healthcare professional before use if you have any medical conditions or are taking other medications.

Categories
Tribulus 50.0
As a pure Tribulus extract, its score reflects the ingredient's limited scientific efficacy for the stated goals, though its standardization for saponins gives it a slight edge over non-standardized forms.
Goals
Fitness 35.0
While some users report a general sense of well-being, direct evidence linking Tribulus to significant improvements in athletic performance or overall fitness is limited. It's not a performance-enhancing ingredient.
Energy 35.0
Tribulus is not primarily recognized as an energy booster. Any perceived increase in energy is more likely related to a generalized sense of vitality or a placebo effect rather than a direct stimulating action.
Testosterone Support 30.0
While this product is standardized for saponins, clinical research consistently shows that Tribulus terrestris does not significantly elevate natural testosterone levels in healthy males. Its primary reported effects are often related to libido.
