Forskolin 95 ?

[nufatty]

I wanted to add Forskolin 95 to my stack while cutting and I have few questions

1. Which product to buy that has Forskolin 95 ? Can you guys please suggest

I was looking into C-Bolic and it says "Helps Support Fat Reduction and Optimizes Hormone Levels*" . I'm skeptical about "Optimizes hormone levels" part. I don't want to take anything that would change my hormone levels even if its a natural product.

2. Is it safe to take ?

Please note - I'd like products with only Forskolin 95 in it. I'm already taking Norcodrene at the moment.

I believe Analyzed Supplements (a branch off company of PES) sells it. However, it's really hard to come by as it's always out of stock.

Forskolin 95 (analyzed supplements)
Reform 95 (nimbus nutrition)

[MillerTime07]

Forskolin 95 (analyzed supplements)
Reform 95 (nimbus nutrition)

These two are the go-to.

Forskolin 95 (analyzed supplements)
Reform 95 (nimbus nutrition)

These would be my two suggestions OP. They are both licensed from Sabinsa.

Regarding hormonal optimisation;

"Oral ingestion of forskolin (250 mg of 10% forskolin extract twice a day) for a 12-week period was shown to favorably alter body composition while concurrently increasing bone mass and serum free testosterone levels in overweight and obese men. The results indicate that forskolin is a possible therapeutic agent for the management and treatment of obesity."

I see. Thanks for the information Ben.

Also, thanks for the suggestions guys.

I should be taking 1 cap of Forskolin-95 with norcodrene in the morning and 1 cap pre workout ?

Many start their Forskolin dose at 25-50mg per day to assess tolerance. If you notice no GI issues, you can up the dose to 75-100mg per day.

Dosing the Forskolin-95 with your Norcodrene would be recommended, yes .

I think c-bolic would be Forslean too, my guess is BBS has just not renewed their preferential customer status with Sabinsa. I dont think there'd be too many forskolin products sold at 'big' stores that are not forslean (especially any company that is clearly within Sabinsa's radar)

Most large retailers do not accept any non-sabinsa Forskolin, which is great for consumers!

Ive had a cursory read over sabinsa's webpage...what, exactly, does sabinsa have patent rights to? The actual extract (a physical thing ie forskolin) or a specific extraction process (something more abstract)?

Their webpage makes it seem as though virtually any forskolin extract used in 'mainstream' products is forslean (regardless if its 10% or 95%), with the only difference between say Nimbus's product and Better Body's is the former has paid a preferential customer fee which in part entitles them to use the forslean logo and patent number on their product labeling, whereas the latter hasnt and so cant.

They are the ones who developed the extraction process originally, so you know you are getting what you pay for. You are paying for quality essentially. Also, using their brand gives you the ability to cite any studies they have done, which is one reason why some big box retailers only allow Sabinsa brand, because they know it has legitimate safety/toxicity data.

For some products, like AnaBeta Elite, we don't list the ForsLean logo on the label because then the mass market would think it is for fat loss. Can't confuse the noobs

Concerning C-Bolic: Is the consensus that this is a good source of F-95? I'm curious because it never gets mentioned, and being able to order from BB.com would be cheaper vs. other options.

I would be quite surprised if the forskolin in c-bolic is not forslean (sabinsa), it is highly likely the same forskolin as AS and Nimbus.

the only difference being Better Bodys hasnt paid the extra dollar to use the sabinsa tm (they used to be a preferential customer as they
used to have the sabinsa/forslean logo on their label)

If c-bolic forskolin came from another source im guessing sabinsa would be sueing them (which from memory they have done to other companies)

[aaronuconn]

All I've used is Analyzed Supplements Forskolin 95 and enjoyed it. The other ones mentioned in this thread are probably good to go as well.

Thanks for the info man. I don't know anything about sabinsa, as I just heard of them today, so that's some food for thought. Being able to order from BB.com will make things a lot easier as well.

Check out their website, lots of good info there about forskolin (including all-i think-of the studies)

[jimsmith9999]

C-Bolic used to have the Forslean logo on it a few years back, and more recently it no longer does.

I've used both, and AS F-95 as well. Never noticed a difference between any of them.

Twinlab one is same dosage used in the study and is currently on sale here for about $6 a bottle.

This is what I'm using now on my cut

[NewAgeMayan]

4 of those twinlab caps to hit 50mg? Damn, i like dosing around 100mg a day, that 60ct bottle would last me a week :/

I hadn't looked into it too much for higher doses; been dosing per label instructions.

I figure you'd be up for that though given the SL/PA thread lol. I had been reading about it taxing the liver at higher, albeit from a random website somewhere, and never looked into increasing the dose after that.

Have you dosed lower? How much of a difference did your higher dosage make in your experience?

The Sabinsa-licensed NSI Coleus Forskohlii 10% extract is the same price for 2 120ct bottles.

[NewAgeMayan]

Dan, ive never (knowingly) dosed lower than 75mg per day, nor run forsk longer than 4 weeks at a time

Thats 10% Forskohlin. I've read people have GI issues with 10%. Do you have any problems with it?

Coleus Forskohlii at high doses may be bad for your liver; that is why extracts with low amounts of forskolin aren't great for you if you plan on using a high dose. It's the other ingredients, and not forskolin, in Coleus Forskohlii that might be causing liver issues.

Good to know.

Also, if you price it out, it's not much cheaper to use the 10% option if you want high doses. Actually it may be more expensive.

yeah, ive only ever used the low extract when ive stacked it with ABE

[MDBallDAY]

I'm using APPNUT's Beta Test at 3 caps a day right now with no GI issues. It's 40% extract, and 3 caps is around 75mg. It's a great value when you think about the forskolin and Amentoflavone you're getting for the price. Plus it's BOGO.

[tmd17]

Supremacy 2.0 features Forskolin-95 and you're getting very high doses for the price (35mg per cap, 60 servings). If you're looking for a product with Forskolin-95 and a bunch of other goodies (Long Jack, Momordica Charantia, I3C, Piper Nigrum) to stack along with Nocordrene I wouldn't look anywhere else.
