Conclusion: Encouraging evidence suggests that ginseng may be an effective herbal treatment for ED. However, further, larger, and high-quality studies are required before firm conclusions can be drawn. Promising (although very preliminary) results have also been generated for some herbal formulations. Overall, more research in the field, adhering to the CONSORT statement extension for reporting trials, is justified before the use of herbal products in ED can be recommended.

What people say about Tribulus and libido
“I've started taking Tribulus again about 10 days ago and I don't really feel any different.”
“I take tribulus before I lift sometimes and it definitely helps with that, but doesn't do much for my energy or libido otherwise.”
“moved onto cycling tribulus, cistanche and/or butea superba which give me most of the same benefits w/o the side effects tongkat can cause.”
“Tribulus, on the other hand, works well for the libido but I have to cycle it.”
