ForsLean Improves Body Composition According to Study
Coleus forskohlii extract promotes favorable changes in body composition by significantly increasing lean body mass and decreasing body fat percentages.
The 12-week randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study of 30 overweight and obese men revealed a 3.98 kg (8.77 lbs) total increase in lean body mass, including a statistically significant increase in bone mass of 0.27 kg (0.60 lbs) or 8.63 percent in the ForsLean receiving group. Results also showed a decrease in body fat by 4.52 kg (9.96 lbs) or 11.23 percent as compared to the baseline. The placebo group showed no statistically significant changes in lean body mass (1.77 kg/3.90 lbs), bone mass (0.20 kg/0.44 lbs) or body fat (0.51 kg/1.12 lbs).
"These findings are significant because they further validate the fact that ForsLean can promote whole body increases in lean body mass, a key component in ensuring overall good health, as well as reductions in body fat," stated Dr. Vladimir Badmaev, vice president of scientific and medical affairs, Sabinsa Corporation. "Additionally, researchers noted that ForsLean's unique mechanism of action allows for the possibility of long-term use without potentially harmful side effects."
Study participants were given either 250 mg of 10 percent forskolin extract twice daily (as ForsLean from Sabinsa Corporation) or a placebo for 12 weeks and maintained their usual levels of physical activity and normal diet patterns throughout the course of the study. No statistically significant changes were reported in blood pressure or other blood chemistries.
ForsLean is an extract derived from Coleus forskohlii roots, and the only known plant source of forskolin, a natural compound that has been shown to increase lean body mass and help optimize body composition through cAMP activation.
