Description
 
Coleus forskohlii is the only known plant source of forskolin, a diterpene that activates adenylate cyclase. Forskolin concentrates primarily in the root system, making aeroponic cultivation uniquely advantageous for accessing intact root biomass without soil contamination. BotaniX produces Coleus with both aerial and root fractions available separately or as totum, with full batch documentation.
