Tribulus: The Spiky Ground Vine in Vitality Formulas
Tribulus is a vine that grows low and has been collected across many lands.
Where it grows
Tribulus terrestris likes dry, sunny ground in southern Europe, India, China, Africa and Australia. It creeps along the soil with small yellow flowers.
Why it has a prickly nickname
The fruits are star-shaped burrs with sharp spines. Many people call the plant puncture vine or caltrop because of them.
How it becomes an ingredient
Harvesters gather the fruit and above-ground parts, dry them and grind them, or make a concentrated extract that blends well into a gummy.
