HEART
"Tribulus terrestis saponins (100mg/L) are able to reduce infarct size in hearts exposed to ischemia/reperfusion and oxidation in vitro,[41][42] which is due to the tribulosin content.
Other saponins may have cardioprotective effects, such as hecogenin-3-O-β-d-glucopyranosyl(1 → 4)-β-d-galactopyranoside (30-100μg/mL) via activating PKCε[17] although they are significantly weaker than tribulosin at doing so.
BLOOD PRESSURE
"In humans with hypertension, tribulus terrestris given at 2g of the whole fruit extract of a water extract thereof over four weeks noted significant reductions in systolic blood pressure (4-4.3%) by one week which increased to 9.6-10.7% after four weeks; diastolic blood pressure was reduced by 7.4-8.1% after four weeks.[45]
This is one reason why products standardized for a high protodioscin content aren't optimal. MASS standardizes for total saponins...
