Coleus Forskohlii

Forskolin is a natural compound derived from the root of Coleus forskohlii, a plant traditionally used in Ayurvedic medicine. In a 12-week randomized controlled trial involving overweight men, forskolin supplementation led to a significant reduction in body fat percentage and an increase in lean muscle mass, alongside elevated testosterone levels, without notable changes in overall body weight. Another study focusing on overweight women indicated that forskolin may help mitigate weight gain and improve body composition markers over time. Animal research further suggests that forskolin can reduce fat cell size, inhibit the formation of new fat cells, and enhance glucose metabolism. These findings point to forskolin’s potential as a supportive agent in managing body composition and metabolic health. (1)
