Coleus Forskohlii Extract

About Coleus Forskohlii Extract in JointBrex

What Coleus Forskohlii Is

Coleus forskohlii, also called Plectranthus barbatus, is a plant in the mint family native to South Asia. Its root has a long history in Ayurvedic practice.

The compound it is studied for is forskolin. JointBrex lists the extract at 15 mg per capsule.

Why It Is in JointBrex

It appears as a supporting component alongside the turmeric extracts and BioPerine, contributing 15 mg of the 125 mg total.

Being straight about the evidence here

Most published research on Coleus Forskohlii and forskolin relates to areas other than joints specifically — body composition and metabolic research feature more prominently than joint health does.

So its role in this formula is better described as general supporting inclusion than as a direct joint-evidence ingredient. We would rather say that plainly than imply a body of joint research that is not there.

What Research Covers

Forskolin has been studied in several contexts. The PubMed index gives an overview of the literature, which is worth a look if this ingredient is a particular interest.

As with every component here, that research concerns the ingredient rather than the finished JointBrex capsule.

Practical Notes on Coleus Forskohlii

Speak to your doctor first if you take blood pressure medication — forskolin has been discussed in relation to blood pressure.
Also raise it if you take blood thinners.
Not recommended during pregnancy or nursing.
Anyone with a heart condition should check before use.

How It Fits the JointBrex Formula

It is the smallest botanical component by weight after BioPerine. See the complete JointBrex panel for how the 125 mg divides up.
