Comparable to 17α- methyl testosterone, dietary supplements of Tribulus terrestris and Mucuna pruriens promote the development of mono-sex, all-male tilapia fry, growth, survival rate and sex-related genes (Amh, Sox9, Foxl2, Dmrt1).

Researchers tested Tribulus terrestris and Mucuna pruriens supplements on young Nile tilapia. Both raised male traits and testosterone, with better growth and survival than 17α-methyl testosterone, showing potential for sex reversal in aquaculture.
