A member asked:

Can tribulus terrestris be used for women with pcos to help ovulate/conceive ?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

There is no: scientific information that it helps, and there is animal data linking it to defects in fetal development. Try diet, exercise and weight reduction. Discuss metformin with your doctor, as it can treat the basic metabolic defect of PCOS which is insulin resistance,
