What is Coleus Forskohlii?
Coleus forskohlii has been added to thermogenic formulas as a thermogenic enhancer. It can raise the levels of the enzyme adenylate cyclase, which increases the conversion rate of ATP to cAMP. Cyclic adeniosinemonophosphate (cAMP) is a key regulator of the metabolic rate. It has been clinically proven to increase the force at which your heart contracts, and it lowers arterial blood pressure. This can help counteract the raising of blood pressure from caffeine and ephedrine. My son is taking a product named L-Dopa. Is this a safe product? L-dopa (L-dihydroxyphenylalanine) or mucuna puriens, also known as velvet bean, is used in the management of Parkinson s disease in Ayurvedic medicine. He is probably taking it for its purported ability to cause the secretion of growth hormone from the pituitary gland. I would recommend checking with your family physician on his/her professional opinion regarding its supplementation.
