Coleus forskohlii (Forskolin)
Overview
Forskolin is a diterpene from Coleus forskohlii (Plectranthus barbatus) roots. It directly activates adenylyl cyclase, increasing intracellular cAMP. Marketed for fat loss, testosterone support, and cardiovascular effects. A 2025 review notes vasodilatory and blood pressure-modulating effects but emphasizes additional clinical trials are needed. Evidence for weight loss is limited. May interact with antihypertensives (additive hypotension) and anticoagulants.
