Protodioscin is a steroidal saponin compound found in a number of plant species most notably in the Tribulus Trigonella and Dioscorea families. It is best known as the putative active component of the herbal aphrodisiac plant Tribulus terrestris.Extracts from T. terrestris standardised for protodioscin content have been demonstrated to produce proerectile effects in isolated tissues and aphrodisiac action in several animal species.
