Forskolin has been serving people all over the world for hundreds of years. That said, many people are still not fully aware of the potential power that forskolin has for the body and the brain. In this article, we’ll discuss five key health benefits of forskolin, as well as how you can explore all of them by checking out Regen Labs NeuroDrive®

What Is Forskolin?

 Forskolin is a chemical compound that comes from coleus forskohlii, a native plant to Burma, India, and Thailand. As mentioned above, it has been used in traditional Ayurvedic medicine for hundreds of years because forskolin benefits both the body and the brain. For a complete review of forskolin, let’s take a closer look at each category.

Forskolin Benefits For The Body

Asthma

Forskolin helps those with asthma by increasing cAMP (cyclic adenosine monophosphate), which relaxes the muscles in your body, including the bronchial tubes. This makes breathing easier. One study found that forskolin supplements lowered the number of asthma attacks better than sodium cromoglycate, which is commonly prescribed for asthma medication.

Glaucoma

Another benefit of forskolin is its potential to help those who have glaucoma. Glaucoma is characterized by high inner eye pressure. One study found that consuming forskolin resulted in a decrease in inner eye pressure. Another study found that when forskolin was added to eye drops, inner eye pressure also decreased.

Weight Loss

The last of forskolin benefits for the body is possible weight loss. An increase in cAMP leads to lipolysis, which is the breakdown of lipids in the body. This means the body is using more fat as fuel. As a result, this process may lead to weight loss in certain individuals.

Forskolin Benefits For The Brain

Forskolin As A Nootropic

Forskolin serves as a nootropic by again increasing the level of cAMP, which then stimulates the production of CREB (cAMP response element-binding protein). An increase in CREB enhances LTP (long-term potentiation), which is the connection between brain synapses. By strengthening synapses in the brain, memory and learning abilities are improved.

Forskolin As An Anxiolytic

Forskolin acts as an anxiolytic alternative to benzodiazepines such as valium. Studies have shown when analyzing ingestion of forskolin and its relation to mood changes, individuals have experienced a decrease in anxiety over time. In addition to less anxiety, individuals also experienced less fatigue as a result. This is good to know as many have experienced adverse side effects from taking benzos.

Explore All The Forskolin Benefits With NeuroDrive™

Forskolin is increasingly helpful when combined with artichoke extract. When added together, it can serve as a cognitive enhancer to improve memory, increase motivation, and help improve mood.

Both forskolin and artichoke extract are included in Regen LabsNeuroDrive™. Its innovative, toxin-free formula also includes potent ingredients such as Bacopa, Centrophenoxine, Huperzine A, Sulbutiamine, and Trans-Ferulic Acid. All these ingredients powerfully stimulate neural activity to help you get your spark back the natural way.

Bacopa protects the brain against cell damage by free radicals. It also boosts brain activity by increasing the length and branching of neuronal dendritic cells.

Centrophenoxine mimics acetylcholine’s properties, a neurotransmitter that plays a crucial role in memory and learning capabilities. Huperzine A inhibits the breakdown of acetylcholine, which further improves communication between brain cells. It also inhibits neuron loss by reducing amyloid plaques which is the leading cause of memory loss. Sulbutiamine increases thiamine and thiamine phosphate levels in the brain, which improves memory function and increases mental energy. Trans-Ferulic Acid is the last key ingredient in Regen LabsNeuroDrive™ because it is anti-inflammatory reducing oxidative stress. It can also strengthen memory and enhance learning new topics while still preserving the morphology of the pyramidal cell layer in the brain’s hippocampus.

These powerful ingredients within Regen LabsNeuroDrive™ accentuate all the listed forskolin benefits above and provide your brain with a huge added boost to overall cognitive function.
