Healthy Nature

Do you know how to take supplements responsibly?

It means you don’t expect the supplement to do all the work. You expect it to help you improve your life and win the benefits you want to get.

You can discover your own attitude toward supplements by honestly looking at your actions. Do you do everything in your power to get the health benefits you want, in addition to taking your supplement? Or, do you continue habits you know are unhealthy, while taking the supplement and expecting dramatic results in your life?

Supplements always help. But, their benefits are maximized when you take them in addition to leading a healthy lifestyle that leads you to achieving your goals.

Supplements that have amazing effects in your life, without you changing your behavior, usually have devastating effects. Think along the lines of steroids, for example.

Forskolin can be quite beneficial, without any severe negative consequences. Take a minute to learn more about it.

First, What is Forskolin?

It’s a member of the mint family and is found naturally in India, Thailand, and Uganda. Traditional medicine in those regions has actually used it for quite some time. Over the years, it’s been used to improve lung, heart, and urinary health.

What Do Supplement Consumers Take Forskolin For?

Usually, people take it to improve their ability to burn fat and improve their energy. With more energy, you can burn more fat while working out. It also gets used to reduce blood pressure, improve digestion, and boost testosterone levels.

Researchers at the University of Kansas found overweight and obese men lost 7.8 times more fat, added 35% more bone mass, and increased testosterone by 35% when consuming 250 mg of 10% forskolin-containing coleus twice per day. That’s 500 mg total per day.

Does Forskolin Have any Side Effects?

None serious are known. The worst that’s been observed is diarrhea, and food moving through your digestive system faster.

Since forskolin lowers blood pressure, this could be a risk for people who typically have low blood pressure already. But in most cases, this is considered a good thing because most people have high blood pressure.

Long story short: you’re pretty safe taking forskolin.

The Research Is Still Ongoing

Like most natural supplements, there’s not a ton of research available on forskolin. What’s available looks promising, but we don’t necessarily have a perfectly accurate picture.

As always, if you choose to go on forskolin, do so in conjunction with your doctor. And go off it immediately if you notice anything severe.

Otherwise, enjoy the improved energy and fat-burning ability forskolin offers!
