Coleus forskohlii is a key ingredient in YourHappyLife metabolism and cardiovascular support supplements, designed to promote fat metabolism, support healthy blood pressure, and boost energy.
How Does Coleus forskohlii Work?
Coleus forskohlii works through the following mechanisms:

Adenylate Cyclase Activation: Forskolin activates adenylate cyclase, increasing cyclic AMP (cAMP) levels in cells, which enhances fat breakdown (lipolysis) and energy production.
