Hi everyone,
I'm considering trying forskolin for the depressive and negative symptoms that I experience as part of my schizoaffective disorder. So, here are my questions. Feel free to answer as many of them as you'd like.
1) Has anyone had any success with any particular brand of this supplement? If so, which brand?
2) Has anyone tried the Cardiovascular Research brand (available at VitaminShoppe.com)? For those who've tried this brand, could you also tell me how many mg are in each tablet or capsule?
3) Is there a difference between the product labeled "forskolin" and the product labeled "forskohlii?" If so, what are the differences between the two products?
Thank you for reading this. Any and all replies from current or past forskolin users (or even non-users who are knowledgeable about the supplement) would be appreciated.

I'm sorry I do not have any experience with different brands. I've never tried Forskolin.
However I did want to offer support in letting you know that in the books I have read on adrenal fatigue, thyroid issues, heavy metal toxicity, and lyme disease, Forskolin is a name that keeps coming up. So there must be something there. It isn't mentioned very often, if at all, when looking at just depression. But the likelihood of the depression coming from one of the above causes is high. Somehow Forskolin has the potential to address something fundamental in a variety of syndromes and illnesses. It is my view that depression is not an illness, but rather a symptom of a different illness, and that Forskolin has the power to somehow bridge the roadblocks of various illnesses, thus improving depression.
As an example, Forskolin competitively displaces heavy metals or bacterial toxins that are clogging cortisol receptors. That would certainly have implications in improving depression symptoms.

Bleauberry,
Thank you for the info on forskolin. I started taking the Nature's Herbs brand of forskohlii a little more than a week ago. At first, I noticed a definite reduction in my motivation, but that feeling didn't last for more than a day. Since then, I haven't been feeling much of anything on the supplement. I'll probably discontinue it soon, but it was worth a try.
