AB Tribulus terrestris L. (TT) ingredients have anti-inflammatory and antioxidant activities,but their effects on exercise-induced muscle damage (EIMD) in trained athletes are uncertain. Thepurpose of this single-blind placebo-controlled trial, in accordance with CONSORT guidelines,was to examine the effect of 6 weeks of TT supplementation on muscle metabolism, inflammationbiomarkers, and oxidant status. Thirty trained male CrossFit® athletes were randomly assigned to besupplemented with 770 mg/day of TT (intervention group (IG)) or receive a placebo daily (controlgroup (CG)) for 6 weeks. Muscle damage enzymes, inflammation biomarkers, and Total AntioxidantStatus (TAS) were assessed at baseline (T1), 21 days after baseline (T2), and after 42 days (T3). Grace, aWorkout of the Day, was measured in T1 and T3. Statistical significance (p < 0.05) was found betweenIG and CG in Lactate Dehydrogenase (LDH), C-reactive protein (CRP), and TAS levels at the end ofthe follow-up. Furthermore, TAS levels were significantly (p < 0.05) lower at T2 and T3 relative tobaseline in the IG, also LDH and CRP increased significantly (p < 0.05) at T2 and T3 relative to baselinein the CG. No significant (p > 0.05) decreases in muscle damage or inflammation biomarkers wereobserved, although a slight downward trend was observed after 6 weeks for supplemented athletes.TT supplementation could attenuate the CrossFit® training program-induced oxidative stress, muscledamage, and inflammation which could be due to the natural antioxidant and anti-inflammatoryproperties of TT.
