Tribulus terrestris, commonly known as puncture vine, goat's head, or devil's thorn, is a flowering plant in the Zygophyllaceae family — also referred to as puncturevine caltrop or small caltrops. It is recognized by its distinctive fruit bearing long, sharp spines and its ability to thrive in arid, disturbed soils. In some regions, it is classified as a noxious weed.
Tribulus has a long history of use in traditional botanical practices, including Ayurveda and Traditional Chinese Medicine, where it has been incorporated as part of broader herbal traditions for centuries.
Tribulus fruit powder is versatile in its preparation. It can be encapsulated for convenient use or employed in tincturing. In some traditional practices, the powder is blended into milk or juice.
