The general take
Andrew Huberman is skeptical about tribulus terrestris despite its marketing as a testosterone booster, noting that while there are peer-reviewed studies on it, whether it actually increases testosterone in any meaningful way remains unclear. He presents it as a commonly available over-the-counter supplement but stops short of endorsing its effectiveness.

…discussing over-the-counter supplements studied for effects on testosterone and sexual function
“The third and final substance slash supplement that I want to touch on as it relates to libido is called tribulus terrestis. This is a commonly sold over-the-counter supplement for increasing testosterone. Whether or not it actually does that to a meaningful degree isn't clear but I'm aware of four peer-reviewed studies that were focused on both males and females ranging anywhere from 18 years old all the way up to 65 plus.”
