Product Description
Tribulus extract is standardized to saponins from the fruit or herb of Tribulus terrestris, commonly 40%, 90% or 95%.
It is used in sports and men’s-health capsules. “Saponins” by UV is a broad number; protodioscin by HPLC is the tighter marker when a customer asks for it.
When buying, say the method. A 90% UV saponin powder can miss a protodioscin spec.

Applications
Men’s Health Blends
Bitter and bulky at 40%. High-assay grades cut the capsule size.
Tablets
Check disintegration. High saponin loads can slow a tablet.
Poor Fit for Clear Drinks
Saponin grades foam and taste bitter. Trial before a beverage brief.
Protodioscin
Ask for HPLC protodioscin when the customer’s COA uses that word instead of UV saponins.
Fruit or Herb
Say which part the batch used. Fruit and aerial saponin profiles are not identical.
FAQ
How should we choose between 40% and 95% saponins?
Both are sold. The higher assay is usually a tighter saponin cut, not a different plant.
Should the saponins be tested by UV or by HPLC?
UV “saponins” and HPLC protodioscin answer different questions. Write the method down.
Which Tribulus plant part is in this extract?
Tribulus terrestris, fruit or aerial parts — confirm which the batch used.
What saponin levels are available?
About 40%, 90% and 95%.
Which plant is this?
Tribulus terrestris. Confirm fruit or aerial parts on the batch.
What does a 90% UV saponin result not tell us?
It does not tell you the protodioscin content. HPLC is the test when protodioscin is the marker.
