Forskolin

I was wondering if anyone has tried Invalid Link Removed, and had good results with it.

Briefly, it's a compound extracted from a plant that acts as an adenylate cyclase activator (Bio-Test markets it, as well as many other supplement companies). I became interested in it few month when this article was published:

Invalid Link Removed

The highlights of this study were that forskolin promotes the proliferation of mouse satellite cells (the precursor cells to myoblasts/myotubules). Additionally, in combination with a few other factors it actually will cause iPSCs (induced pluripotenet stem cells) to differentiate into myotubules.

A brief study in inactive people also saw some gains in lean body mass and loss of fat.
 
I'll give it a go at a low dose in a couple months with my ECA stack, thanks to this: Invalid Link Removed
But I've yet to try it.
From what I've gathered, some people run dosages at something like 50mg/day, 75mg/day, 100mg/day, or max out at 150mg/day on these forums. Along the lines of 12 weeks on, 4 off.

That article looks interesting. I think I'm maybe going to try it at the 2x25 mg/day dosage as well. I probably won't combine it with anything else to start, I just want to see how much of an effect there is on it's own.
 
Is it cheaper and more effective than GHRPs?
 
I've noticed it's marketed as a fat loss supplement in inactive people, but I've noticed I might have gained a few lbs after a month doing 2x25mg/day. Anyone else have any experience with this?
 
Weight gain is generally a food thing. I have a hard time believing that 4 weeks of a low dose would have a generous effect.
