Forskolin Bodybuilding Benefits
Forskolin supplements benefit bodybuilding primarily because it can increase fat loss by boosting testosterone.
It does this by causing an enzyme (adenylate cyclase) to be activated, which triggers activation of lipase, a digestive enzyme responsible for breaking down lipids (fats) for use as fuel. Adenylate Cyclase also has an important role in testosterone production, giving Forskolin multiple fat fighting characteristics.
