Tribulus terrestris extract

CAS: 90131-68-3

Overview

Tribulus terrestris extract (CAS 90131-68-3 ), derived from the puncture vine plant and also known commercially as Gokshura or Caltrop extract, is a standardized botanical ingredient used across nutraceutical, cosmetic, and pharmaceutical formulations.

It is primarily sourced for its steroidal saponin content, particularly protodioscin, which drives demand across multiple finished product categories. In nutraceutical and dietary supplement manufacturing, it is formulated into capsules and tablets.

The extract is also used in powdered blends targeting sports nutrition and general wellness product lines. Cosmetic formulators incorporate it into anti-aging creams, serums, and scalp care products where antioxidant activity supports oxidative stress protection.

Pharmaceutical and life sciences researchers use standardized extracts as reference material and active ingredient input for botanical drug development. Food and functional beverage producers apply it in fortified products for premium positioning.

Tribulus terrestris extract is supplied as a fine powder, available in varying saponin standardizations, commonly 40%, 60%, and 90% saponin content by HPLC. Both food-grade and pharmaceutical-grade specifications are available.

The material is manufactured to meet rigorous quality requirements, including USP and FCC standards where applicable. Bulk quantities are typically offered in fiber drums or foil-lined bags suited for moisture-sensitive botanical materials.
