SwansonFull Spectrum Coleus Forskohlii

Coleus forskohlii is a herb from the mint family (Lamiaceae), originating from India and Southeast Asia. The root of the plant has long been used traditionally in various herbal systems.

Coleus forskohlii resembles other plants from the mint family in appearance and botany, but its application is different. It is not a mint species like peppermint, but it does share similar botanical features such as fragrant leaves and a herbal origin.

Full Spectrum means that the entire, unprocessed part of the plant is used—in this case the root—without extracts or concentrates. This keeps it close to the original form as traditionally used.

The root naturally has a bitter, earthy taste. In this supplement, it is in capsule form, which means the taste is hardly noticeable during use.

No, the capsules are closed and swallowed with water. As a result, you do not taste any of the plant’s natural flavor.

No, it is a different herb from another plant family. Ginseng and ashwagandha come from Asian and Ayurvedic traditions, respectively. Coleus forskohlii has its own unique use and botanical background.
