Documented Bulgarian history

More than a product name

A Sopharma historical document describes Tribestan as an original phytochemical product developed from Tribulus terrestris L. growing in Bulgaria. It identifies a long research process led by Margarita Tomova and states that she worked for more than 20 years on the creation of the product.

Assoc. Prof. Margarita Tomova, Pharm.D. is therefore not a decorative historical reference. Her work is central to the documented development story behind Tribestan.

Why specification matters

Not every Tribulus product is equivalent

Tribulus terrestris is a botanical name, not a guarantee that two finished products are identical. When comparing products, check the plant material, extraction method, declared amount per tablet or capsule, standardized compounds, manufacturer and accompanying documentation.

Use the practical comparison checklist →

Useful questions before buying

  • Who manufactures the finished product?
  • How much extract is present in one tablet or capsule?
  • Which compounds are standardized and how are they described?
  • Is the package clearly identified and supplied with a leaflet?
  • Is the seller transparent about the product origin?
