Description
Coleus forskohlii is a tropical perennial plant, found in India, Thailand and Nepal. This natural plant extract has been used in traditional Ayurvedic medicine to promote heart and lung function, and to support the libido.
Today, coleus is not just a herb for cardiovascular ailments but is increasingly used to assist weight loss by breaking down adipose tissue and preventing production of further fatty tissue.
In addition, coleus mildly stimulates the metabolism by increasing thyroid hormones and increases the secretion of insulin. These therapeutic indications for coleus are due to its principal active compound, a diterpenoid called forskolin. This is the only plant-derived compound known to directly stimulate the enzyme, adenlylate cyclase, and in turn, stimulates cellular cyclic AMP which boosts our metabolism.
Coleus forskohlii preparations used as eye drops are known to reduce eye pressure in glaucoma.
Like all good tonics, coleus directly stimulates digestion and is thought to assist in the absorption of nutrients in the small intestine.
