And this from wikipedia:
 
 
QUOTE
    * Forskolin is a vasodilator.
    * To date, there have been more than two clinical studies examining the effectiveness of forskolin as a weight loss aid. Only one has been subject to peer-review and published in a medical journal. This clinical study also observed forskolin's role in significantly increasing lean mass, bone mass, and testosterone in the subjects involved.[1] This research has lead to companies marketing forskolin as a Bodybuilding supplement.
    * Forskolin may be helpful to control the underlying cause of glaucoma. The sometimes successful use of forskolin to reduce intraocular pressure may be due to its unique ability to stimulate adenylate cyclase activity and increase cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) which regulates and activates critical enzymes required for the cellular energy required to move fluid out of the eye.
    * Increase skin's natural resistance to burning under UV light (see links below)
    * Stimulate a tanning response when applied topically.
    * Reduce urinary tract infections and enhance the ability of antibiotics to kill bacteria that normally survive.

Kakarot, this guy doing oral coleus. . . was he supplementing anything else, such as high doses of Vit. D??
 
I thought you already tried this in the past. Or am I thinking of your astragalus experiment?
 
Are we maybe onto something here?  undecided

I'm very interested in Forskolin as i'm sure the rest of you are because it doesn't need to be injected and it's cheap. I'm only interested in forskolin orally-hate the idea of a topical Smiley
 
I have bought the same forskolin as the guy on the imminst.org thread used but am wary of using it until i get a bit more insight into a few questions.
 
Basically these are hard questions to answer but anyway at the minute i'm thinkin:
 
1) What are the dangers of overstimualating cAMP?
 
2) Are any unwanted effects of overstimualting cAMP permanant?
 
3) What other side-effects could Forskolin produce?
 
4) Is there any truth in the claim of one of the posters on imminst.org thread that Forskolin will darken hair and eyes? (as it stimulates melanin production)

dunno if it'll darken eyes.  If you wanna get tons of good coleus for cheap, go to Bulk nutrition.  You can buy powder at 20% forskolin for very cheap -- it's from india with a coa.  
 
I ordered some.  Hopefully others will try this out too.  
 
And yes, one new guy claims he has had great results with oral forslean -- a very good forskolin supplement -- said he got very dark.

Yes i'm very interested in Forskolin and will probably end up trying it.
 
However i am going away on holiday soon and want to be able to tan so in the meantime i will prob stick with something i know that works-melanotan-1.  
 
But might play around with forskolin while i'm on it as i've already bought it and will probably work in a similar way to d3 by producing darker pigment through raising cAMP.  
 
I mean look at photos in this thread- http://melanotan.org/cgi-bin/yabb/YaBB.pl?num=1180891104 he is using d3 with melanotan II and look how dark black he's become. I think the elevated cAMP is really deepening his colour.

How about taking forskolin orally?  If it bumps up cAMP and higher cAMP is required for darker pigment, wouldn't forskolin orally and melanotan II together make sense?

Yeah that's what we're talking about-taking it orally. Messing around with forskolin topically is prob a waste of time.
 
Does anyone know if melanotan elevates cAMP and by how much?

Exactly how much do you assume you would've needed in order to achieve a somewhat (pretty) good tan?

I don't think a lot of forskolin is needed. I mean the guys on the imminst thread were taking forskolin for a period of three weeks at anywhere between 25-100mg of forskolin a day. One bottle of forslean for around $12 will last a month on 50mg a day.

If it helps here is where i got my forskolin http://www.vitacost.com/NSI-ForsLean  
 
It's only 10% forskolin per tablet so one tablet is only 25g of forskolin.
 
There are 20% forskolin tablets out there like here http://www.vitaminshoppe.com/store/en/browse/sku_detail.jsp?id=VS-1872&srcco de=cii_9324560&cpncode=12-24717303-2&source=NTVS-1872
 
They're probably better.

I once took the bulknutrition forskolin for maybe a month and had no results, used one serving ( 60 mg) a day. Are there any other options? are there any other brands better for pigmentation ( hair and skin)
