First and foremost Forskolin is a chemical substance that is the root extract from the plant Coleus Forskolin, more commonly known as the Indian Coleus plant. The plant is part of the mint family and as the name suggests was first found in India.
The herb has been used throughout ancient history as a medical product to treat a variety of conditions such as heart and lung disease, insomnia, convulsions and intestinal spasms.
\"Resveratrol Weight Loss\"
In modern times however the herb is used for a variety of different treatments. One of the big appeals of Forskolin is its weight loss capabilities. To certain people, how we look is an important part of their daily lives and aids in helping people feel good about themselves.
Forskolin can help with the reduction of fat and in turn speed up the process that may take weeks if not months with other dieting methods. Forskolin works in two ways. Firstly through stimulating Lipolysis, this is the breaking down of Lipids that contain fats. This is a lot faster than the traditional methods as it raises cAMP production in patients.
CAMP itself works as a function to regulate glycogen, lipid and sugar. It has deduced by scientists at the Penn State University College of Medicine that Camp production is impaired with many obese patients. From this it points to the solution that many obese patients may benefit from Forskolin.
The second method that Forskolin works is through increasing the levels of thyroid hormone production. Thyroid production is stimulated meaning that our metabolisms are sped up, which in turn, can lead to a loss in weight.
Another benefit of Forskolin is its ties to a healthy heart and lungs. Forskolin has been proven in a study from 1974 where the substance contributed to the dilation in the blood vessels of the heart. This has then led on to a lowering of blood pressure and aided in preventing blood clots from accumulating. Improved blood flow stems from this as well as an increased control of the flow of ions, which all link back to maintaining a healthy heart.
As well as all of these benefits, Forskolin is used in the treatment of psoriasis and eczema. It has also been shown to aid asthmatics with the flow of air as Forskolin aids in the relaxation of the airways to aid in the respiration process.
The typical dosage for Forskolin is usually 25-60mg per day divided into 2 to 3 doses. In a recent study, 6 overweight women were instructed to take 250mg capsules that contained 20% of Forskolin, twice a day over an 8 week period. The results were obvious with showing a loss on average of ten pounds. There were also signs of a reduction in body fat by 8%.
Forskolin also has no clear ties to any side effects and can be taken along other caffeine's as it can also provide a boost in stamina. However it is important that you go and see your doctor before taking the product to ensure safety with your usage of the substance. But it looks as if Forskolin could be the answer, to every dieter's dreams.

Biotivia established 1992 in Vienna it is the first company to dramatically improve the bioavailability of its products, especially its resveratrol and polyphenol-based products. Low bioavailability of many antioxidants is a common problem, which the company's scientists have succeeded in overcoming without resorting to synthetic additives or lowering the product dosage.
