Tribulus Terrestris and Ketamine Therapy | Tovani Health

Tribulus terrestris extract (Tribulus terrestris) (also: Puncture vine)Adaptogenic herbal supplement (T-booster, libido, athletic performance)

Verdict at Tovani Health

Fully compatible with KAP; the testosterone-boosting claims are weak but the safety profile is clean.

Tribulus and ketamine have no clinically significant interaction. Most commonly used as a 'natural testosterone booster' for athletic performance or libido — though the evidence for T-boosting in healthy men is weak to negative in controlled trials. The supplement itself is generally well-tolerated with no meaningful CYP modulation or PK/PD interaction with ketamine.

If you take Tribulus terrestris extract regularly and are considering at-home ketamine therapy, the combination is generally safe at therapeutic doses. This page covers the brief pharmacologic context and what we do at intake.
