Forskolin

Forskolin is a natural supplement derived from the root of the Coleus forskohlii plant, which is native to India. It has been used for thousands of years in traditional medicine for various purposes, including the treatment of heart and respiratory conditions. More recently, it has been shown to have beneficial effects on diabetes.

One of the key ways in which forskolin can help people with diabetes is by regulating blood sugar levels. Studies have shown that it can improve insulin sensitivity, increase glucose uptake by cells, and reduce glucose production by the liver. These effects are thought to be due to the activation of an enzyme called adenylate cyclase, which has been shown to play a role in regulating glucose metabolism. By regulating blood sugar levels, forskolin can help prevent the complications associated with uncontrolled diabetes, such as heart disease and kidney damage.
