1. Introduction

Medicinal preparations have anti-atherosclerosis lowering blood cholesterol and diuretic effects, and good results have been obtained in the treatment of cases of decreased gastric juice. It can be seen that Tribulus is used in the treatment of certain diseases such as testosterone and estrogen. This plant has been used for a long time in traditional Chinese medicine, as well as in urinary tract diseases. Tribulus contains a number of compounds that have medicinal effects. These compounds contain antioxidants, as well as chemical components with anti-inflammatory, immune-boosting, pain-reducing, and antibacterial properties. Tribulus terrastris is used to treat the following diseases: angina, eczema, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, infertility, and impotence [1,3]. When testing the effects of tribulus on rabbits and rats, researchers observed that treatment with tribulus can lead to an increase in certain sex hormones, such as testosterone. Additionally, a small study published in Daru: The Journal of Pharmaceutical Sciences in 2014 showed that tribulus may help treat sexual dysfunction in women. Tribulus suggested an animal-based study published in 2006 in the Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences. Studies have shown that the toxin can fight diabetes by eliminating oxidative stress in tests on rats [5,6].

2. The Main Findings and Results

Regarding side effects, the existing body of research indicates that Tribulus exhibits a generally favorable safety profile in humans, with few reported adverse effects. However, caution is warranted as certain individuals may experience occasional negative reactions, such as increased anxiety, particularly when Tribulus is used in high doses or for extended periods.

Notably, some studies have suggested a potential association between Tribulus supplementation and prostate gland issues, including the exacerbation of symptoms or the promotion of prostate gland enlargement. As a precautionary measure, individuals with a history of prostate cancer or those currently affected by this condition are advised to avoid the use of Tribulus to minimize any potential risks or complications. It is essential to highlight the medication Trubusponin, a pharmaceutical product derived from Tribulus, which has demonstrated efficacy in the treatment of atherosclerosis, encompassing general, cerebral, and cardiovascular sclerosis. The therapeutic benefits of Trubusponin underscore the pharmacological potential of Tribulus-derived compounds in managing atherosclerotic conditions and associated cardiovascular health issues, offering a promising avenue for medical intervention.

While Tribulus is generally well-tolerated by most individuals, it is crucial to be mindful of potential side effects, particularly in specific populations or under certain circumstances. By acknowledging and understanding the nuances of Tribulus supplementation, healthcare providers and individuals can make informed decisions regarding its usage, ensuring optimal safety and efficacy in harnessing the medicinal properties of this botanical remedy. Additionally, the development and utilization of pharmaceutical formulations like Trubusponin highlight the translational potential of Tribulus research, paving the way for innovative treatment modalities in the realm of cardiovascular health and atherosclerosis management.

The purpose of the research was to study the amount of macro- and microelements in the Tribulus terrastris plant growing in the Fergana Valley.

Apparently, one of the most successful aspects of turyptic is the presence of lanthanoids. And these obtained elements were divided into macro and micro elements. Below is a table where the amount of macro elements is extracted (Table 2).

Currently, severe environmental conditions, nervous stress, other excessive stress and bad habits, malnutrition, physical inactivity, and the health status of the population are characterized by negative trends. General morbidity increases, life expectancy decreases. Therefore, it is very important to prevent diseases, which allows a living organism not to get sick for a long time, but allows the body to recover easily through a balanced diet. 2000-2500 kcal of energy per day is needed for its synthesis. At the same time, in order to generate this energy, a person must consume a sufficient amount of proteins, carbohydrates, vegetable and animal fats, and vitamins.

Food products rich in various substances containing minerals should be provided. According to the recommendation of the Commission on Dietology within the US National Academy, the amount of chemical elements in the food consumed daily should be within a certain standard. Below is a qualitative analysis of biologically active substances (Table 4).

3. Conclusions

In conclusion, the findings of this study underscore the diverse medicinal properties of Tribulus, highlighting its efficacy in the treatment of various health conditions. Medicinal preparations derived from Tribulus exhibit anti-atherosclerotic, cholesterol-lowering, and diuretic effects, showcasing its potential therapeutic benefits for cardiovascular health and fluid balance regulation. Moreover, Tribulus demonstrates promising results in the treatment of conditions associated with decreased gastric juice production, further expanding its medicinal applications.

Notably, the traditional use of Tribulus in Chinese medicine and its historical significance in treating urinary tract diseases emphasize its long-standing reputation as a valuable botanical remedy. The chemical compounds present in Tribulus possess a wide array of medicinal effects, including antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, immune-boosting, pain-relieving, and antibacterial properties, underscoring its multifaceted therapeutic potential.

Studies on the effects of Tribulus on animal models have revealed its ability to modulate sex hormone levels, particularly testosterone, suggesting its role in hormonal balance and associated health benefits. Additionally, Tribulus terrastris has shown efficacy in addressing a spectrum of health issues, including angina, eczema, hypertension, hypercholesterolemia, infertility, and erectile dysfunction.

Overall, the comprehensive exploration of Tribulus in this study sheds light on its pharmacological properties and therapeutic applications, paving the way for further research and development of natural remedies derived from this valuable plant. The rich bioactive compounds present in Tribulus hold great promise for the advancement of alternative medicine and the potential improvement of human health and well-being.
