Description:
Tribulus terrestris is an annual plant in the Caltrop Family (Zygophyllaceae) widely distributed around the world, that is adapted to grow in dry climate locations in which few other plants can survive.
It is an invasive species in North America. Like many weedy species, this plant has many common names, including bindii, bullhead, burra gokharu, caltrop, cat's head,devil's eyelashes, devil's thorn, devil's weed,goathead,Puncture Vine, Puncturevine, and tackweed
Some body builders use Trubulus Terrestris as post cycle therary or "PCT". After they have completed an anabolic- steroid cycle, they use it under the assumption that it will restore the body's natural testosterone levels. The extract is claimed to increase the body's naturaltestosterone levels and thereby improve male sexual performance and help build muscle. Its purported muscle-building potential was popularized by American IFBB bodybuilding champion Jeffrey Petermann in the early 1970s.
