What is forskolin and how may it support weight management?

Forskolin is derived from the root of Coleus forskohlii, a tropical plant. It activates the enzyme adenylyl cyclase, which increases cyclic AMP levels. A small number of clinical trials suggest it may influence body composition, but evidence remains limited.

What dosage of forskolin has been studied in clinical trials?

Clinical studies have used Coleus forskohlii extract standardized to 10% forskolin at doses of 250 mg twice daily, providing 25 mg of forskolin per dose. Study durations have typically been 12 weeks. The overall body of evidence is small.

Forskolin may lower blood pressure and increase heart rate. It may interact with blood pressure medications, blood thinners, and antiplatelet drugs. Gastrointestinal discomfort has been reported in some study participants. Pregnant or breastfeeding women should avoid forskolin.

About

A diterpene compound from the root of Coleus forskohlii that directly activates adenylyl cyclase, increasing intracellular cAMP levels. Preliminary clinical trials suggest forskolin may support favorable changes in body composition, particularly in overweight men.

How It Works

Directly activates adenylyl cyclase, increasing intracellular cyclic AMP (cAMP) levels. Elevated cAMP activates protein kinase A and hormone-sensitive lipase, promoting lipolysis. Also stimulates thyroid hormone production and testosterone synthesis, which may support metabolic rate.
