Research undertaken by MediHerb has shown that the phytochemical profile of the herb varies depending upon the geographical origin and the plant part utilized. Only Tribulus sourced from the Central European regions of Bulgaria and Slovakia have been found to contain protodioscin, which is an important indicator of quality and efficacy. Additionally, only the leaves and stem of the plant contain protodioscin, the fruit does not contain this phytochemical. We have researched this herb to ensure that our Tribulus product is of the correct phytochemical profile to confirm phytoequivalence with the Bulgarian clinical trials and therefore optimal clinical outcome.
