Other Details

Forskolin also called Coleonol is a labdane diterpene that is produced by the Indian Coleus plant (Coleus forskohlii). Coleus forskohlii, a member of the mint family Lamiaceae, is indigenous to Ayurvedic Medicine and is a perennial herb with fleshy, fibrous roots that grows wild in the warm subtropical temperate areas in India, Burma and Thailand. Plant height is approximately 1-2 feet and its striking leaves are teardrop shaped, shimmering green framing a bright purple center; leaf color varies depending on the amount of shade. A cluster of stalked pale purple or blue flowers branches off a single stem. The rootstock is typically golden brown, thick, fibrous, and radially spreading. The roots are harvested in the fall, when forskolin is at its most concentrated and the color is the brightest.
