Tribulus Terrestris

Tribulus Terrestris, commonly known as puncturevine or caltrop, is a plant that has been used in Europe for several centuries as a sexual stimulant.

Clinical studies of Tribulus were conducted at the Chemical-Pharmaceutical Institute in Sofia, Bulgaria, and scientists concluded that Tribulus terrestris contributed to a significant increase in reproductive function, including sperm production and testosterone in men. In women, there was an increased concentration of hormones, including estrogen, and an increase in sexual libido.

Effects of Tribulus

Tribulus has therefore been labeled as herbal viagra.

Tribulus improves sexual libido especially in people over 40 years of age. However, its effect on hormone levels has not been reliably proven. These hormones then affect the frequency and strength of erections and increase vigor in sexual activity. When using Tribulus, a decrease in blood cholesterol levels, improved mood and self-esteem have also been proven.

The plant is usually dried and further used for making tea. Active substances are contained in all parts of the plant, but the highest content of active ingredients has been proven especially in the roots and leaves. In the pharmaceutical industry, the leaves and roots of Tribulus are used to produce sexual enhancement products and many dietary supplements for athletes and bodybuilders.

Tribulus is composed of alkaloids (harman and harmine), unsaturated fatty acids, sterols, flavonoids, glycosides, nitrates, essential oils, potassium, kaempferol, resins, saponins and tannins.

Tribulus is an annual herb with fine hairs. It is creeping and sparsely branched, growing to a maximum of 50 cm. Tribulus produces small yellow flowers and green star-shaped fruits. The fruits are spiny and contain seeds. Thanks to the spines, they easily attach to animal limbs, which then disperse the seeds over long distances.

In China, Tribulus was used to treat the liver and to relieve headaches and nervous exhaustion. Its use as a sexual aphrodisiac became very common in India.

Organic hydroponic fertilizers are an ideal choice for growers who want to combine modern growing methods with natural ingredients. Unlike synthetic fertilizers, organic variants contain nutrients derived from natural sources such as compost, seaweed extracts, or animal by-products. These fertilizers not only provide essential nutrients but also support the development of beneficial microorganisms in the growing medium, contributing to overall plant health and vitality.

Why Choose Organic Hydroponic Fertilizers?

The main advantage of organic hydroponic fertilizers lies in their gentle effect on plants and the environment. These fertilizers release nutrients gradually, reducing the risk of over-fertilization and nutrient burn. Additionally, organic fertilizers improve the structure and biological activity of the growing medium, which is particularly important in hydroponic systems where plants have limited access to natural soil microorganisms.

Key Benefits of Organic Fertilizers

• Natural composition – ingredients from renewable sources
• Support for beneficial microorganisms – improves nutrient availability
• Gradual nutrient release – reduces the risk of over-fertilization
• Better taste and aroma – plants are healthier and more flavorful
• Environmentally friendly – minimal environmental impact

How to Use Organic Hydroponic Fertilizers?

Using organic fertilizers in hydroponics requires a slightly different approach than synthetic fertilizers. It's important to ensure adequate oxygenation of the nutrient solution and regularly monitor pH levels. Organic fertilizers can slightly cloud the solution, which is a normal phenomenon and doesn't indicate a problem. For best results, we recommend combining organic base fertilizers with specialized supplements that support specific growth phases.

Tips for Successful Use

• Start with lower doses and gradually increase them
• Ensure sufficient oxygenation of the nutrient solution
• Regularly monitor pH and EC levels
• Change the solution more frequently than with synthetic fertilizers
• Combine with suitable beneficial bacteria and mycorrhizae
