Summary
Brief summary
Coleus forskohlii extract contains the bioactive compound, forskolin. Preliminary studies
have shown that forskolin can increase fat metabolism thus reduce fat accumulation in both
animals and humans. It has been suggested that forskolin may also suppress appetite thus
reduce energy intake and results in weight loss. This study will evaluate the appetite
suppressant properties of Coleus forskohlii extract. In addition the effect on central
obesity and risk factors of metabolic syndrome will also be investigated.
