HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Forskolin-95 Extract by Herbadiet

Our pharmacy team’s full take, with four database checks built into the cards below — a summary of what is known, not a grade of the product itself.

What’s inside

Full disclosure
Ingredient Transparency · database check
Full

Every active ingredient lists its own amount on the label.

Why this rating?
  • The label discloses an exact amount for 2 of its 2 active ingredients.
  • No proprietary blends here — you can verify the dose of every single component.

Forskolin-95 Extract by Herbadiet has 2 active ingredients, both forms of coleus (Coleus forskohlii): the full herb extract and the root extract. Coleus contains forskolin, a compound traditionally used in herbal medicine.

The capsule is made with a vegetable cellulose shell.

Does it work?

Not established
Evidence for Intended Use · database check
By FDA rules, dietary supplements can’t claim to treat, cure, or prevent disease — so labels speak in careful marketing language. We discern each product’s intended use from its name, label claims, and label statements, then grade the clinical evidence for that use. How these ratings are computed
Not established

The graded evidence we hold for these ingredients covers different conditions than the ones this product is marketed for, so there's no established rating for its stated use — see Coleus's own graded uses on its monograph.

Why this rating?
  • The label markets this product for: fat burning and lean muscle mass support.
  • We looked for evidence on: Obesity, weight management, body composition, metabolic health.
  • The closest evidence on file: Coleus is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Obesity (Natural Medicines).

We don't have established effectiveness data in our records for this product. The ingredient has insufficient reliable evidence to rate its use for angina, asthma, cancer, heart failure, eczema, or dry eye—the conditions listed in our data.

That doesn't mean it doesn't work; it means the research to prove it either isn't there yet or isn't strong enough to make a claim.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Coleus

How safe is it?

Well-documented data
Safety Information · database check
Well characterized

Adverse-effect, pregnancy, and general safety data are on file for most of these ingredients.

Why this rating?
  • We hold adverse-effect (side-effect) data for 1 of the 1 matched ingredient.
  • Pregnancy & breastfeeding safety ratings cover 1 of 1.
  • General safety write-ups exist for 1 of 1.
  • Remember: this measures how much safety information exists. Thin data is not the same as being safe.

Coleus is generally well tolerated when taken by mouth, though it can cause gastrointestinal side effects—diarrhea and loose stools are the most common, reported in about 1 in 15 trial participants and at a roughly 10% rate in retrospective data. Nausea, vomiting, and constipation have also been reported but at lower rates.

The product may lower your blood pressure and isn't well studied for long-term use, so use it with care and under professional guidance. The safety data advises against use during pregnancy and while breastfeeding.

Meds to double-check

Major interaction found
Known Interaction Concern · database check
Major identified

At least one ingredient has a documented Major-severity interaction. Check your medications for a personalized result.

Why this rating?
  • 1 of the 1 matched ingredient can interact with medications — Coleus.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Major.
  • Some involve high-stakes drug classes: anticoagulant / antiplatelet drugs.
  • For scale: 916 individual medications appear in the full list. A big number alone doesn't make a product dangerous — what matters is whether YOUR medication is on it, so run yours through the interaction checker on this page.

Before taking this product, check with your pharmacist if you're on nitrates or calcium channel blockers (heart medications), blood pressure drugs, blood thinners or antiplatelet medications, warfarin (Coumadin), or any drugs metabolized by your liver's CYP2C9 or CYP3A4 enzymes—the product may increase risks or change how these work.

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with no established evidence rating for its marketed use. Major medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.

This product is not well researched for the conditions it's marketed for, and it carries real risks with heart and blood pressure medications plus blood thinners. If you're on any prescription drugs—especially for your heart, blood pressure, or clotting—talk to your pharmacist or doctor before you start.

Even without medications, the blood pressure effects and gastrointestinal side effects mean you should check in with your healthcare provider first.

Coleus forskohlii7 drug types · 915 drugs

Calcium Channel Blockers

Theoretically, combining coleus with calcium channel blockers might increase the coronary vasodilatory effects.
Forskolin, a constituent of coleus, and calcium channel blockers both cause coronary vasodilatory effects.

Likelihood Probable Evidence B
Nitrates

Theoretically, combining coleus with nitrates might increase the coronary vasodilatory effects.
Forskolin, a constituent of coleus, and nitrates both cause coronary vasodilatory effects.

Likelihood Probable Evidence B
Anticoagulant/Antiplatelet Drugs

Theoretically, concomitant use of coleus and anticoagulant or antiplatelet drugs might increase the risk of bruising and bleeding.
In vitro and animal research shows that forskolin, a constituent of coleus, can inhibit platelet aggregation and adhesion.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Antihypertensive Drugs

Theoretically, combining coleus with antihypertensive drugs might cause additive blood pressure lowering effects and increase the risk of hypotension.
Animal research shows that forskolin, a constituent of coleus, may lower blood pressure.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Cytochrome P450 2C9 (Cyp2C9) Substrates

Theoretically, taking coleus may affect drugs metabolized by CYP2C9 and increase the risk of adverse effects or reduce the effectiveness.
Research on the effect of coleus on CYP2C9 is conflicting. Some animal research shows that coleus extract can induce CYP2C9, while in vitro research shows that coleus can inhibit CYP2C9. Until more is known, advise patients that taking coleus might increase or decrease levels of drugs metabolized by CYP2C9.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Cytochrome P450 3A4 (Cyp3A4) Substrates

Theoretically, taking coleus might decrease serum levels of drugs metabolized by CYP3A4.
In vitro research shows that coleus can activate the nuclear receptor, pregnane X receptor (PXR), which results in increased expression of CYP3A4. Although the clinical significance of this is not known, use caution when considering concomitant use of coleus and other drugs affected by these enzymes.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Warfarin (Coumadin)

Theoretically, taking coleus may affect the metabolism of warfarin and increase the risk of adverse effects or reduce the effectiveness.
Some animal research shows that coleus extract can induce cytochrome P450 2C9 (CYP2C9), an enzyme that metabolizes warfarin. However, other in vitro research shows that coleus can inhibit CYP2C9. Theoretically, taking coleus with drugs metabolized by CYP2C9 might affect drug levels and the risk of adverse effects. Until more is known, advise patients that taking coleus might increase or decrease levels of warfarin.

Forskolin-95 Extract by Herbadiet: Common Questions

Does Forskolin-95 Extract by Herbadiet interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Forskolin-95 Extract has a known interaction with 915 medications, including 29 rated major. Use the checker to see how it interacts with a specific drug.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Forskolin-95 Extract contains 2 active ingredients, and an interaction can come from any of them. We check every ingredient, combine the results into one list per medication, and show which ingredient and mechanism is responsible.
Where does this information come from?
The product label data comes from the NIH Dietary Supplement Label Database (DSLD); the interaction data is built on the Natural Medicines database and reviewed by HelloPharmacist pharmacists.
What are the most common side effects?
Diarrhea and loose stools are most frequent—reported in roughly 1 in 15 people taking coleus extract in trials and in about 10% of users overall. Nausea, vomiting, and constipation happen too, but less often. These side effects are dose-related, meaning higher doses cause more problems.
Can I take this while pregnant or breastfeeding?
No. There isn't enough safety data, so the guidance is to avoid it during pregnancy and while breastfeeding. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist for personalized advice if you're pregnant, planning pregnancy, or nursing.
Will this product lower my blood pressure?
Yes, coleus may lower blood pressure, which is why it's not well studied for long-term use and why you should use it with care and professional guidance. If you're already on blood pressure medication, combining them could drop your pressure too far.
Does this product actually work for any of the conditions it's sold for?
We don't have reliable evidence in our data to say it works for angina, asthma, cancer, heart failure, eczema, or dry eye. That doesn't prove it doesn't; it means the research isn't established yet.
Why does this interact with so many medications?
Coleus contains forskolin, which widens blood vessels (affecting heart and blood pressure meds) and can change how your liver processes drugs through specific enzyme pathways (CYP2C9 and CYP3A4). Because these liver pathways clear over 900 different medications, the overlap is large.
