Forskolin is an extract from the plant
Coleus forskohli, a member of the mint family that
grows natively in subtropical areas of India, Burma, and
Thailand. Forskolin has been extensively researched
in the medical field for use in the treatment of
allergies, respiratory problems, cardiovascular diseases,
glaucoma, psoriasis, hypothyroidism and weight loss.
Recently, Forskolin has made medical news as a natural remedy
for Urinary Tract Infections (UTI) by enhancing the
ability of antibiotics to kill the bacteria that cause
90 percent of infections in the bladder. As such,
it can greatly reduce recurrence of urinary tract
infections, according to a new study published online
April 8, 2007, in the journal Nature Medicine.
