Coleus forskohlii extracts
Coleus forskohlii herb is available over the counter in pills and liquid in a variety of dosages and extracts, most commonly 50 mg Coleus forskohlii herbal extract providing 9 mg forskolin and 125 mg Coleus forskohlii extract providing 12.5 mg forskolin. Research is limited on the appropriate forskolin dosages for different conditions. The forskolin content of Coleus forskohlii root is typically 0.2% to 0.3%, therefore the forskolin content of crude Coleus products may not be sufficient to produce a pharmacological effect. It is best to use standardized extracts which have concentrated the forskolin content.
Comparing various products available over the counter
Coleus forskohlii is available in various extract potencies, for instance 10 percent forskolin, 18 percent forskolin, and 20 percent forskolin. We are not aware of any research that has compared various extract potencies to determine which is best to use.
Mechanism of action, how it works
Forskolin activates adenylate cyclase, which increases intracellular cAMP levels. The antioxidant and anti-inflammatory action of forskolin is due to inhibition of macrophage activation with a subsequent reduction in thromboxane B2 and superoxide levels.
