HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Ultra Forskolin Extract by Ultra6 Nutrition

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.

From our pharmacy team — supplement deep dive

What’s inside

Low disclosure
Ingredient Transparency · database check
Low

Most active ingredients don't disclose an individual amount — you can't tell how much of each you're getting.

Why this rating?
  • The label discloses an exact amount for 0 of its 1 active ingredient.
  • “Proprietary Blend” is a proprietary blend — the label gives one combined amount (250 mg) without saying how much of each component you get.

Ultra Forskolin Extract contains one active ingredient: forskolin, a compound derived from coleus plants. Forskolin has traditionally been studied for its potential effects on heart function, breathing, and skin health, though the evidence remains limited.

The product also includes inactive ingredients — stevia, flavor, and alcohol — which serve as sweetener, taste, and preservative rather than active components.

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 loss and appetite reduction.
  • We looked for evidence on: Obesity, weight management, metabolic support, appetite control.
  • The closest evidence on file: Coleus is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Obesity (Natural Medicines).

The evidence for forskolin isn't established in our data. The product is listed for six potential uses — angina, asthma, cancer, congestive heart failure, atopic dermatitis (eczema), and dry eye — but all six are rated as having insufficient reliable evidence.

That means the research so far hasn't been strong enough to say whether it actually works for any of these conditions. If you're considering it for a specific health concern, talk with your pharmacist or doctor about what the current evidence actually shows.

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.

Taken by mouth, coleus seems to be generally well tolerated, though a small number of people have reported constipation, diarrhea, nausea, or vomiting. Diarrhea and other gastrointestinal symptoms are dose-related — one clinical trial reported loose stools in one out of 15 patients, and retrospective reports suggest around a 10% rate of gastrointestinal side effects overall, mostly diarrhea.

The product may lower blood pressure and hasn't been well studied for long-term use, so it needs careful use and professional guidance. The safety data advises against use during pregnancy and while breastfeeding — there isn't enough information to know it's safe in either situation.

Side effects, ingredient by ingredient Coleus

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.

Check this product with your pharmacist if you take nitrates or calcium channel blockers for heart conditions, any blood pressure medications, blood thinners or antiplatelet drugs like warfarin or aspirin, or medications your liver breaks down (CYP2C9 or CYP3A4 substrates — your pharmacist can tell you if yours fall into these groups).

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFormula with limited ingredient disclosure with no established evidence rating for its marketed use. Major medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.

If you take heart medications, blood pressure drugs, blood thinners, or drugs metabolized by your liver, you need to check this product against your specific medications before starting. The long-term safety isn't well established, so professional guidance is important.

Talk with your pharmacist before adding this to your routine.

Forskolin7 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.

Ultra Forskolin Extract by Ultra6 Nutrition: Common Questions

Does Ultra Forskolin Extract by Ultra6 Nutrition interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Ultra Forskolin 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?
Ultra Forskolin Extract contains a single active ingredient, and that one ingredient can interact with many different medications on its own. We check it against each medication and show the mechanism 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 exactly is forskolin and where does it come from?
Forskolin is a compound isolated from coleus plants. It's been studied for possible effects on heart and breathing function, though evidence for how well it actually works is limited.
What side effects might I experience if I take this?
Most commonly, people report constipation, diarrhea, nausea, or vomiting when taking it by mouth. Diarrhea and loose stools are dose-related — around 10% of people report gastrointestinal side effects, mostly diarrhea. The product may also lower your blood pressure.
Can I take this if I'm pregnant or breastfeeding?
No. The safety data advises against use during pregnancy and while breastfeeding because there isn't enough information to know it's safe in either situation. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist about other options.
Does this product actually work for heart health or asthma?
The evidence isn't strong enough to say. Forskolin is listed for six potential uses — including angina, asthma, and heart failure — but all are rated as having insufficient reliable evidence to confirm it works.
Why does this product contain alcohol?
Alcohol is listed as an inactive ingredient, meaning it's used as a preservative to keep the liquid product stable rather than for any therapeutic effect.
