What is the plant Coleus forskohlii?

Coleus forskohlii, sometimes referred to as the Indian lipstick plant, is a plant originating from Asia, which bears a strong resemblance to the Polish shrub but primarily stands out due to its unique coloration.

Which individuals should benefit from forskolin?

Forskolin is primarily utilized in a variety of weight-reduction therapies due to its reductive attributes. Consequently, it is also employed in bodybuilding and other athletic disciplines. Certain publications refer to its application in the treatment of the cardiovascular, respiratory, urinary systems, and insomnia.

Effects on the body

Coleus supports the body in the production of thyroid hormones and stimulates the pancreas to produce insulin, which is particularly beneficial during weight loss and combating obesity. Additionally, forskolin exhibits the following properties: inhibiting the production of fatty compounds in cells, reducing fatigue, activating metabolism, increasing the level of cAMP in cells. Forskolin should not be used in cases of hypersensitivity to this compound.

Supplementary Treatment

The administration of Forskolin should be in doses of 250 mg of a supplement containing 10% of this compound. To achieve the expected results, it is recommended to take it twice daily.
