Forskolin raising testosterone levels??

[whitesox23]

So with all these biased studies, what do you unbiased guys think of Forskolin for body comp? Scientifically or anecdotally...

[RebuildMe]

*LOL* well the ignorance portion WAS definately directed twords you. Onre merely look at your posts in the thread to see THAT clearly demonstrated! If that makes me arrogant - so be it.
The arrogant portion was directed twords the mental masturbation comment.
Clearly you have no idea if im biased or not. Ive clearly read up on this in the past - posted my recollections - Im open to discussion...how is that biased? Again you display more ignorance.
Either way i really dont care all THAT much. As i stated this isnt the compound i would use to effect cAMP and i def wouldnt take it to booost testoterone. Thats my opinion...you are entitled to yours...
Whats the reason for YOUR bias ? You arrogantly enetered the thread making a stupid comparison to daa .......

Relax angry kid. As someone with no bias you definitely take it too personally maybe you're just one of those internet tough guys who love to argue on the net to feel important.
The comparison to DAA is not stupid, it was meant to show you how increasing testicular testosterone output also increases estrogens.
Nice attitude bro. Took your medicines today?
BTW I'm done with you, now you're free to post any kind of nonsense at your liking. Have a nice day!

[whitesox23]

My opinion , biased or not , is that it would not be prudent to think it couldnt effect body comp given the effects it exerts on cAMP. I think it would be best suited in a blend of effective ingredients that would negate or offset potential negative effects forskolin may exert(key being effective).
If used correctly (in a blend imo) i can see benfit - primarily in asssting losing bodyfat. Thus resulting in body comp changes.
I wouldnt take it alone personally.
JMO...

Lol @ internet fight... And yeah. It obviously does something. What would be good things to stack to reduce sides? L-Dopa or...? Also does timing of doses matter?

[wakingmalice]

Kinda thought the thread was going good. I posted the study in question and, I, myself see not much relevance in the aromatise issue on THAT study. But I also didn't see the full text.

That being said, i've taken forskolin and it was okay. Never ran it solo and never ran it dosed properly so I can't make a great anecdotal opinion.

Alex, I found the study you were originally refering to. I cannot find the other study you are now referencing.

Quit bitchin kids, this is the science section.

for what it's worth, DAA and forskolin have different MOA's. IMO both products have their place, and both have their negatives. at this point I see no significant negative worry of either one. The positives are still debatable.

We used to have a great mod here that took care of things. Idk what happened.

[hello121]

Low testosterone levels in men as they age can cause low sex drive, poor erections, loss of muscle mass, irritability and depression

[whitesox23]

lol^ quick question.. I had it posted in the general section, and curious as to what you think of the theory posted. I asked if Forskolin timing mattered (taken during EC run), with it upregulating cAMP and test, and here was the response I got http://forum.bodybuilding.com/showth...hp?t=133115983 Any thoughts on this?

E/C+forskolin is an awesome combination for fat loss. Timing doesn't matter, but save a dose for pre-bed just because you can.

Lol @ state of supp science sec pic^ and what was suggested in my thread was taking one with my morning EC dose because forskolin "supposedly upregulates camp while EC can overstimulate it.. So maybe itll prolong the effects( itll take longer before u build a tolerance?)." Any thoughts on this and any reasoning behind the prebed dose? Test levels?

Nope.

Because it's an effective lipolytic agent and it won't keep you awake.

Oh ok thanks. In defense of the one that said that, he made it clear that he had no science backing that and it was just a thought.

[dustinlima]

everytime i see the word "forskolin" my first pass comprehension sees "forskin"

Thoughts on forskolin breaking down muscle glycogen/liver glycogen? If it is aiding fat loss in adipocytes via HSL, I don't see why its actions are isolated to just the adipocytes? Wouldn't the use of forskolin be unfavorable for maintaining glycogen stores?

Also: BW: 162-163 lbs...150mg forskolin ok?

it increases lypolysis through HSL as a beta agonist.

[PinchTheBear]

lol

[wakingmalice]

lol

not sure the funny part about this babe.

It is a beta agonist,

It increases lypolysis.

Problem?

besides me being extremely obvious.

I'm still not sure if you're joking

What direction has this thread gone pinchy?

What do you think?



God i'm forever on spread with you.

seems like everyone in our line of schooling has extreme, extreme sleeping issues.

Great info, but my concern is this:

I know it increases testosterone but..

Do you know if it raises or aromatizes into E2 or Estrogen?

[daduncan]

I have been doing some research on forskolin and have noticed that this ingredient is in a few natural test boosters, my question is does forskolin have any scientific backing that it actually helps to raise testosterone levels? I have seen a few people on this board including PA I believe mention that forskolin was shown to raise test. levels.. Any insight?

Seems to be pretty effective. A study done on "male subjects in a 12-week trial experienced a 16.77 +/-33.77% increase in total testosterone compared with a 1.08 +/- 18.35% decrease in the placebo group." Seems pretty hit or miss from what the study indicated. If you're looking for a good test booster Gentech Nutrition's TestMax 1000 has a 200% money back guarantee if your T doesn't go up at least 25%.

Walking in the kitchen to the smell of an amazing breakfast fragrance... I see my mom overly excited about this bottle of pills... Of course I'm skeptical about these lose weight quick things, but to be totally honest, after I want to say, 2 months, my mom was actually making some substantial progress... NOW IM CURIOUS! I went to ForskolinFatLoss & seen a video of Dr. Oz reviewing the product I was sold... I was at 245 when I first started, and now I'm at 205 after 2 months w/ a mix of HIIT training... GREAT PRODUCT!!!!
