Analyzed is proud to bring you another great single ingredient compound, Tribulus Alatus! T. Alatus is the successor of Tribulus Terrestris. We think T. Alatus has some great potential use for you guys. I know some of you guys are thinking, not another tribulus product, but let me assure you this is NOT just another tribuls product. T- Alatus is a herb filled with plenty of saponins that have great properties such as hypoglycemic and hypolipidemic

and here is an Ergo-Log review of said study - Not Tribulus terrestris, but Tribulus alatus
I am excited Analyzed has chosen to bring this product to the market, especially as a solo ingredient product making it much more affordable than other products with T-Alatus as part of their formulation blend
T-alatus contains not only the same saponins found also in Tribulus Terrestris but also contains 6 novel steroidal saponinsHypoglycemic and hypolipidemic effects of alcoholic extract of Tribulus alatus in streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats: a comparative study with T. terrestris (Caltrop).
Abstract
The extracts of both T. alatus and T. terrestris significantly decrease fasting glucose level in diabetic rats. After 4 and 6 hr, T. alatus extract showed significant reduction in glucose level as compared to T. terrestris. After 3 weeks of treatment with T. alatus extract, glucose level was significantly decreased to the normal level. Both the extracts also caused a significant decrease in the levels of glycosylated hemoglobin, total cholesterol, triglycerides and LDL-cholesterol. The percent of reduction in rats treated with T. alatus extract was significantly higher than that of the rats treated with T. terrestris. The results indicate that alcoholic extract of T. alatus possesses hypoglycemic activity in type-1 model of diabetes.

It is believed that the saponins found in T-Alatus may might contribute to increasing endogenous testosterone levels by raising the level of luteinizing hormonesA survey concerning the secondary metabolites showed that steroidal saponins ( Achenbach et al., 1996, Cai et al., 2001, Bedir et al., 2002 and De Combarieu et al., 2003), lignanamides ( Li et al., 1998), alkaloids ( Wu et al., 1999), and flavonoids ( Saleh et al., 1982 and Louveaux et al., 1998) are the typical constituents of the genus, and in particular of T. terrestris, a well known and largely distributed herbal drug, used as food supplements to improve performance in sports and for the treatment of impotency ( De Combarieu et al., 2003).
The aim of our work was to carry out the phytochemical investigation of T. alatus aerial parts and herein we report the structural characterization of six new steroidal glycosides (1–6) from the MeOH extract of the title plant, on the basis of extensive spectroscopic and spectrometric analysis, including 2D NMR and ESI-MS spectra. One known cholestane, one spirostane, and six flavonol glycosides were also isolated and characterized.

In one study, rats that were treated with T-Alatus showed a significant increase of mean free serum testosterone levelsTribulus alatus contained steroidal saponins, which might contribute to increasing endogenous testosterone levels by raising the level of luteinizing hormones (LH) as reported for saponins isolated from T. terrestris
