Description

Overview

Coleus extract is derived from the root of the Coleus forskohlii plant, native to subtropical Asia and classified as a member of the mint family. It is primarily known for its bio-active ingredient forskolin, which is believed to contribute to its beneficial effects.

Key Components of Coleus Extract

  • Forskolin: The main bio-active compound in Coleus forskohlii, forskolin stimulates adenylate cyclase, increasing cyclic AMP levels in cells, which plays a role in various cellular processes.
  • Other Beneficial Compounds: The extract may also contain diterpenes and labdane diterpenoids, which could contribute to its effects on weight loss and other health benefits.

Coleus Extract Properties

  • Standardized: High-quality Coleus extract is often standardized to contain a specific amount of forskolin (e.g., 10% forskolin extract) to ensure potency and consistency across brands.
  • Forms: Available in various convenient forms for consumption:
    • Capsules: Pre-dosed capsules provide a convenient way to consume Coleus extract.
    • Powder: Allows for easy adjustment of dosage but may have a strong earthy taste.
    • Liquid Solutions: Concentrated liquid forms are available in droplets, though they may have a bitter taste.
  • Color and Odor: The powdered form of Coleus extract is typically light brown or beige with a mild earthy smell, unlike the strong aroma and flavor of the raw root.

Usages

While research on Coleus extract is ongoing, potential health benefits may include:

  • Weight Management: Some studies suggest Coleus extract may aid in weight loss by boosting metabolism and reducing body fat percentage.
  • Lowering Blood Pressure: Early research indicates Coleus extract may have mild effects in lowering blood pressure.
  • Improving Asthma Symptoms: Inhalation of Coleus extract may help relax airways and alleviate asthma symptoms.

Important Note: Due to ongoing research and potential interactions with medications, it’s crucial to consult with a healthcare provider before using Coleus extract, especially if you are pregnant, breastfeeding, have underlying health conditions, or are taking medications.
