Apollo’s Hegemony Forskolin is a dietary supplement containing a natural, standardized extract of the Indian coleus (Coleus forskohlii), which is a source of forskolin. Forskolin is considered a natural and safe fat burner. It is also used as a testosterone booster and to support cardiovascular health and improve metabolic parameters.
Forskolin is a diterpene compound found in the roots of the Indian coleus and it is responsible for the pharmacological activity of the plant. Indian coleus is especially popular in Ayurvedic medicine, where it is used in ailments of the respiratory system (e.g. in asthma and bronchitis), digestive system (e.g. constipation) and cardiovascular system (e.g. in hypertension). It is also popular in sports supplementation due to its effect on fat reduction.
The mechanism of action of forskolin
The action of forskolin is based on increasing the intracellular concentration of cyclic AMP (cAMP), which has many biological effects. Forskolin activates the enzyme adenyl cyclase, leading to increased cAMP synthesis from adenosine 5'-triphosphate (ATP).
Fat reduction
One of the effects of increasing the intracellular cAMP level is the activation of protein kinase A and, consequently, an increase in the expression of hormone-sensitive lipase. This hormone intensifies lipolysis in adipose tissue. The induction of lipolysis by increasing cAMP concentration is particularly apparent in obese people, in whom adenyl cyclase activity is lowered compared to people with normal body weight.
Increase in testosterone level
Forskolin may contribute to the increase in the body's natural production of testosterone, as confirmed in human studies. An increase in testosterone levels may bring benefits not only for men, but also for women, as it may result in better figure-shaping effects and increased definition of muscle tissue.
To sum up, Apollo’s Hegemony Forskolin is recommended primarily for people who are slimming, during the reduction period, and those seeking to increase lean body mass.
