During years, it was used
in Ayuverdic medicine to treat respiratory disorders such as asthma, also heart
disorders such as high blood pressure. When taken by mouth, it is also used to

Recent studies found out that this compound
can help reducing fat mass. Participants lost around 5 pounds of body fat
during 12 weeks losing fat mass and increasing their bone mass due to the
activiated adenylate cyclase in the adipose tissure. The study included an oral
ingestion of forskolin (250 mg of 10% of forskolin extract twice a day) during
12 weeks.
The results suggest that
forskolin is a possible therapeutic agent for the treatment of obesity.
