Forskolin was identified as a cyclic adenosine monophosphate (Cyclic AMP) compound,which triggers the production of a hormone-sensitive lipase within the body. Hormone-sensitive lipase is believed to cause the release of fat stores in the body that can then be burned off for energy through a person's natural metabolism. Basically, forskolin helps the body melt fat, and burn it.
(LosAngeles.CityRegions.Com, July 28, 2014 ) Santa Monica, CA -- Forskolin, the herbal extract that has recently been on the spotlight of a new weight loss craze, has become the subject of a new study based on its ability to aid in weight loss, with surprisingly positive results. It has been revealed that forskolin is indeed effective at burning fat, but not in the expense of lean muscle mass, which has been one of the most fundamental problems plaguing those undergoing through various weight loss regimes.
The study has revealed that forskolin not only aids in burning fat, but also helps increase, or at least maintain lean muscle mass due to its ability to promote the production of testosterone. It has also been shown that forskolin also has the capacity to improve bone mass, which is great news for women, who are considered prone to suffering from osteoporosis and weight gain after menopause.
"It's great to see studies like this being done on forskolin." Says John W. Collins, president of PacificCoast NutriLabs, known makers of high-quality pharmaceutical supplements like the PLATINUM Series Forskholii Extract. "Weight loss has somewhat been a hard thing to obtain. You usually sacrifice one thing, like your favorite food or leisure time to get the figure you need. Thanks to this study, though, we now know that there's something out there that could help you burn fat without sacrificing too much."
Forskolin is an extract from the roots of the Indian Coleus plant, also known as Plectranthus barbatus or Coleus forskohlii, which is related to the mint species of plants. It has been used in certain parts of the world for thousands of years, due to its healing properties, particularly its ability to aid in improving cardiac functions amongst people.
The study itself focused more on forskolin's ability to trigger hormone-sensitive lipase in the body. Hormone-sensitive lipase is believed to cause the release of fat stores in the body that can then be burned off for energy through a person's natural metabolism. The study also addressed one of the fundamental problems of losing weight by burning off fat through various means, where the total weight loss is due to a loss of lean muscle mass. According to the authors of the study, however, the presence of testosterone, the production of which is also triggered by forskolin, is an important factor in maintaining lean muscle. The study has also shown that taking forskolin also increases bone mass.
In fact, the results of the study indicate that lean muscle is at least maintained, if not increased, while bone mass significantly increases during weight loss attributed to taking a 250 milligram forskolin supplement twice daily. The results were tabulated from a study population consisting of 30 overweight or obese men, 15 of which were randomly assigned to receive forskolin supplementation for the 12-weeks while the remaining 15 men were given a placebo.
The final results of the study state that the people in the forskolin group showed a significant decrease in body fat percent from the baseline, whereas the placebo group did not. Fat mass also decreased significantly in the forskolin group, while lean body mass increased slightly.
There were no significant differences in the actual change in body weight from pre- to post-measurements between the groups, but the forskolin group lost significantly more weight than the placebo group. A significant increase in total testosterone was also found within the forskolin group which was not observed in the placebo group. Bone mass also increased significantly in the forskolin group, but not in the placebo group.
