Forskolin

Sabinsa 95% extract?

If not, that is likely your issue
 
Forskolin from top grade supps - ABE and Alphamax, so yes 95. I remember the last time I stacked these it was exactly the same. One week in and boom, it's back.

Unless it's something else from those two supps.

Nothing in common
And only +/- 50mg

You might be out of luck with forskolin
 
So this upsets your stomach? I am trying this again before bed. It says on empty stomach but I tried that way and it made me tiired all day, my fatburners never kicked in. . Why do you guys love forskolin?
 
Anecdotally, if I start at a lower dose and work up I have zero issues at all.

The first time I used it and went in at a high dose it was a rough couple of days. I scaled it back and tapered up a week or so later and I had no issues at all. :)

I'd try this. Tapering up from a low dose may help.
 
I've always had nasty dumps and nassty gas when taking forskolin
 
I'd never had any problems with it but muscle milk for some reason gives me really bad gas. hah That's really one of the only products ive used that gives me horrible gas.

i take 50mg 2x daily on empty stomach. Don't get tired or anything and I love the recomp effects from forsk

Thanks. I'm looking mainly to boost that enzyme I read about. I take plenty for my thrips already. So start low and don't take with food or it won't work?

You can take it with food, especially if with out food it causes stomach issues.

start low, with food. The food will help offset the water being drawn into your stomach / bowels. When I first started taking F95 25mg had me in the bathroom. Now that I've ran 3 cycles of 8 weeks using it I no longer need to taper up and can handle 100mg of f95 at once (but I'd rather split it)
 
I have read posts from people on here that F95 just doesn't agree with them at all. Seems like a small pool, but it can still cause GI distress.

Has anyone ran forskolin for 12 or 16 weeks? Am I wasting product if I do so?

you are not 12weeks is good, 16 is okay because you get diminishing effects (assumably, has not been proven). Best to do 12on 4off IMO

That's fine, if anything longer is better than something like just 4 weeks.
 
Start low and work up. That usually helps

I don't think it's a small pool given the amount of times it pops up in threads. I've tried forskolin at different strengths, with/without food, long durations etc. I still consistently destroy my toilet with it.
 
I don't get any GI issues, but for some reason no matter what dose I start with or how high I go (and I've only used the 95% extract contained in 3 diff supps), it takes several attempts to get 'clean' after going '#2'....that may be TMI, but ummm :ntogo:

Key words in my post, at all. Like I said, I have seen a few people that have tried low and work their way up, and the low dose still doesn't agree.It seems like people that do have issues can start low and work their way up with no issues. The small pool are the handful of people I have seen post that they cannot handle any dose.

no, it should happen with all extracts- it's unavoidable

Personally I have seen 0 differences from forskolin at different extracts. My F-95 and F-60 experiences are the exact same.

I still run it, but it's an annoying (and in my case unavoidable) side.

I posted this in another thread and maybe with some experimenting OP may find some help in this advice.



Things I've done that may help a bit:

A. Take Metamucil. It's bulk forming and might possibly put a little bulk in your poos.
B. Dose with food. I'm not doing this because I'm taking Shift on an empty stomach. I haven't found that alleviates my issue.
C. Take gut supplements (I use Gut Health or one of Swansons brand gut supplements). I rotate these year round.
D. Spread caps throughout the day instead of a big dose at one time (this seems to have a little effect).

Honestly though most likely you're not going to be able to do anything that completely eliminates this. It seems like for people who get this side effect no magic bullet really exists. It should get a little bit better as time goes on, but that really is user dependent. Honestly it's just something I live with when running a product that has Forsk. You might try some of the above and be your own guinea pig to see what helps you.

When do you guys take this? I took before bed with food and I could not sleep good. I fell asleep, then I woke up and my heart was beating to fast to fall asleep again for a couple of hours.

What product? Just Forskolin?

Not sure I've ever seen that side.
 
^^ nutra. Much better than when I took on empty stomach. Do you take this during the day? I feel kinda sluggish.
 
Im really tired from this. I took 250 mg with food. Is this normal and just need to lower the dose? This is exactly what I remember but my fatburners at least kicked in this time but also with tiredness after I left the gym. I should have went to work but I was too tired.

250 mg of Forskolin? That is a very high dose, especially all at once.

f95 highest dose should be 100mg-150mg. Are you taking a lesser extract?

I am pretty sure 51FTY is more then likely taking a lower % forskolin product. At least I hope.

I completely passed out. I take about 30 different things before I go to bed and I didn't take any of supplements before I went to sleep ugh. It says standardized 20% forskolin. I don't know what that means. Should I take 100mg or 50mg with food. I'm thinking trying during the day. When do you take this?, before the gym?
Click to expand...

that's why you're getting the stomach troubles. 20% means only 20% of the amount is forskolin. F95 , sabsina 95% is almost pure forskolin. I like to take mine in 50mg of 95% morning then 50mg at night. It should not have any stimulant effects and I've never heard of others experiencing it
 
^^ thank you. I'm assuming you mean forskolin 95. Nutra planet is sold out. I didn't really get bad stomach troubles but I took with food.

Forskolins MOA works on the GI tract and should cause issues, regardless of extract %. Cooper mentioned that lower extract may cause more issues and that 95% is the lesser of two evils.
 
Today I didn't take it but my stomach was upset from that coming out. Felt great tho. I ordered a 95% one. So I should take 50ng on empty stomach or with food? Works better on empty stomach I assume? Does this make you guys tired? Is it a good preworkout supplement?
 
avega17 said:
55mg of 60% Forskolin (Myosynergy) = 33mg, therefore I should add about 50-75mg of F95 to hit 100mg, right?

Yes sir.

You can take on an empty stomach or with food it should be effective regardless.

Shouldn't make you tired and pre workout is a great time to take it.

Sold out because it is popular and it is hard to keep in stock. :)
