ForsLean

ForsLean’s main ingredient is forskohlin, derived from the coleus forskohlii plant.  Forskohlin has been shown in studies to promote lean body mass.  This is important because your body mass helps your body’s metabolism, aiding in your weight loss.  When dieting, it is extremely important that you strive to lose weight by burning fat and increasing your muscle mass.  ForsLean is designed to do just that.

Research

One of the ways in which forskohlin aids in weight loss is through lipolysis in fat cells.  Some supporting studies can be found using the following:

  • Horm. metabol. Res. 19 (1987), pp. 358-360
  • J. Pharmacology and Experim. Therapeutics 244 (1988), pp. 852-858

Another study showed ForsLean to be effective in overweight females:

“Results suggest that ForsLean® may help mitigate weight gain in overweight females with apparently no clinically significant side effects.”1

Conclusion

ForsLean is a quality ingredient that has a considerable amount of research backing it up.  While ForsLean is unlikely to be the sole contributor to weight loss if it was a diet pill’s primary ingredient, it would be a great addition to other proven ingredients to help mitigate the loss of lean body mass when losing weight.  Thumbs up for ForsLean.
