What Are The Many Benefits Of Forskolin

The practitioners of ancient medicine have long known the benefits of Forskolin. Forskolin is made from the roots of Coleus Forskohlli which can grow wild throughout the mountains of Thailand, India and Nepal.

For many centuries they used Forskolin in ancient Indian medicines to treat successfully health problems such as diabetes, bronchitis, insomnia and angina. Only recently scientists have discovered exactly why Forskolin is so good at treating these diseases. Scientific studies have shown that Forskolin boosts naturally occurring levels of cAMP (cyclic adenoisine monophosphate) which is vital to most cellular functions found throughout your body.

Forskolin has shown to improve levels of cAMP in diseases such as eczema and athsma where cAMP levels are low. Forskolin has proven to be a safer way to increase cAMP levels without using the more widely prescribed steroids which can have unwanted side effects such as fluid retention, weight gain and stomach upset.

It has been shown in studies that Forskolin boosts and improves the production of thyroxine in the thyroid gland which could result in increased energy, weight loss and increasing your metabolism.

Forskolin has shown to be beneficial to the often uncomfortable and very excruciating symptoms of heart burn and indigestion. Elderly people over the age of 50 are more likely to suffer from indigestion because as we age our digestive fluids become less effective making it harder for our bodies to digest food. Forskolin helps to increase enzymes pepsin and amylase that occur in digestive fluid which aids your bodies digestive system.

Another recently discovered benefit of Forskolin is in maintaining the clotting function of the body which means that your blood circulation is better thus reducing the risk of thrombosis, heart disease or stroke.

Forskolin boosts the levels of cAMP in the cells inside your brain, increasing nerve growth, the chemicals that repair broken-down nerve growth. Which could lead to benefits in helping to treat neurological disorders like Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s.

The effects of Forskolin have proven in trials to be useful in regulating the levels of cAMP in skin cells providing clinical benefits to the sufferers of psoriasis. Psoriasis is a skin disease that normally effects the knees and elbows of sufferers producing dry, sore, itchy and flaky skin.

Studies so far have shown promising results in the treatment of Glaucoma which causes increased fluid pressure inside the eye that slowly cause your eye sight to suffer.
