Coleus Forskohlii Extract 5:1 10:1 5% -10% Forskolin To Stimulate Blood Flow

Plectranthus barbatus, or more commonly known as Coleus forskohlii and Indian Coleus (other synonyms: C. barbatus Benth., Plectranthus

forskohlii Willd., and P. comosus Willemse), , a member of the mint family, is a tropical perennial plant related to the typical coleus species. This

species is a perennial herb with fleshy, fibrous roots that grows wild in the warm subtropical temperate areas in India, Burma, Thailand, and

South-West China (Yunnan Province). In India, it is cultivated for use as a condiment. Coleus forskohlii is an important traditional Ayurvedic herb

that has been a part of Indian medicine for centuries. For centuries, in Ayurvedic medicine, Coleus species have been used to treat various

diseases such as hypothyroidism, heart disease, respiratory disorders (asthma), convulsions, spasmodic pain and painful urination.

In recent years, Coleus forskohlii has gained recognition as the only known plant source of the diterpene, forskohlin (Forlean as its patented

name), and it is interesting from a scientific and medicinal standpoint because it produces forskolin. In the 1970s researchers isolated a unique

chemically active extract from the Coleus forskohlii roots and called it forskolin, which is a labdane diterpene. In addition to forskolin, this herb has

labdane diterpene glycosides forskoditerpenosides A, B, C, D, and E. Additional compounds include 14-deoxycoleon U, coleonol, alpha-amyrin,

demethylcryptojaponol, betulic acid, alpha-cedrol and beta-sitosterol. Now available in supplement form, coleus forskohlii extract has been tested

in a number of conditions.
