A natural weight-loss supplement that really works



Nature's truly magical.

Medicinal plants and herbs have always been reflective of the great potency of nature to manage physiological problems. 'Forskolin' is one of the numerous proofs of the same.

Forskolin is a chemical found in the roots of the plant, coleus forskohlii, an Asiatic plant belonging to the mint family.
Coleus forskohlii root extract or forskolin has been used since ancient times to treat a host of disorders ranging from heart problems to insomnia. It is also stated as being an effective cure for:

• Irritable bowel syndrome

• Bladder infections

• Convulsions

• Skin problems

• Asthma

• Glaucoma

But the most popular use of forskolin doing the rounds of the internet now-a-days is its ability to help lose weight. Yes, you heard that right.

Forskolin, in the form of oral herbal supplements, helps in triggering an increase in your metabolic rate which makes it easier for calories and fat to burn off.

How does forskolin work as a weight-loss aid?

• Forskolin activates an enzyme called adenylate cyclase.

•  This, in turn, increases cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) levels in your body.

•  cAMP is a second messenger in the body that has several roles such as transferring the effect of hormones into cells and regulation of glycogen, sugar and lipid metabolism.

•  The increase in cAMP levels is connected to breaking down of the adipose tissue or belly fat. This, in turn, helps release fatty acids and the process is known as thermogenesis.

•  When thermogenesis is stimulated due to the action of forskolin, the internal temperature of the body rises, causing a more rapid metabolic rate.

•  Quicker metabolism equals faster burning off of calories and fat.

Several sources cite the efficacy of forskolin as a weight-loss aid.

•  According to WebMD, among numerous other uses, oral ingestion of forskolin helps with weight loss.

•  Supplementpolice.com, a website for science-backed supplement reviews states that "for the average adult, forskolin is a great fat burner that can help burn fat and lose some pounds" after quoting relevant studies and explaining the mechanism of how forskolin works.

•  Dr. Oz, a cardiothoracic surgeon, author and television personality calls forskolin "lightning in a bottle" and a "miracle flower to fight fat".

A weight loss expert who featured as a guest during one of his episodes in January, 2014, claimed that the use of forskolin capsules doubled the weight loss of her clients.

Buying forskolin capsules can do you a whole world of good other than just weight loss. It can help manage your blood pressure, treat bladder infections and cure insomnia.

According to supplementpolice.com, you should look for a product that is 100% pure and natural and contains at-least 20% of forskolin.

Here's hoping that these supplements become a powerful tool in your arsenal to help combat weight gain!
