Piscataway, NJ (PRWEB) November 9, 2005



In a recent study entitled “Efficacy and Safety of ForsLean® in Increasing Lean Body Mass in Obese Subjects,” participants receiving ForsLean, Sabinsa Corporation's patented Coleus forskohlii extract, showed marked improvements in lean body mass levels and reductions in body fat percentages, body weight and body mass index.



The 12-week randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study of 50 obese men and women revealed that subjects receiving ForsLean had a statistically significant increase in lean body mass of 1.78 percent compared to a 0.20 percent decrease in the placebo group. Additionally, the mean body fat percentage in the ForsLean group showed a statistically significant drop from 35.8 to 34.0 percent while the placebo group showed an increase from 38.8 to 39.0 percent. And after the course of the study, the mean body mass index for the ForsLean group showed statistically significant decrease from a pre-treatment value of 30.3 to 28.6 after 12 weeks, and while the placebo group decreased from 33.1 to 32.7, the change was not statistically significant.



“This study substantiates the fact that ForsLean beneficially impacts body composition in obese subjects without harmful side effects,” stated Dr. Vladimir Badmaev, vice president of scientific and medical affairs, Sabinsa Corporation. “Today's consumers are increasingly searching out ways to manage their weight in a healthy fashion and ForsLean offers them a solution.”



Study participants were given either 250 mg of ForsLean (standardized to 10 percent diterpene forskolin) or a placebo twice daily one half hour before meals for 12 weeks and maintained their usual levels of physical activity and normal diet patterns throughout the course of the study. No statistically significant changes were reported in lipid, renal, liver and thyroid blood biochemistry profiles.
