Update,,,

After adding more chromium at the time I take the forkholin , I

did not have trouble with a drop in blood sugar.

I started getting pain in my breast and cannot say for sure

it was due to the forskholin , but this is a totally new symptom

for me and the forskholin is the only new thing I had changed.

I googled breast pain and found that vitamin B6 , and also

efamol. { gammalinonleic acid I think} . I took some B6 and

the pain is gone in just a few hours.

Forskholin is an extract of the Indian herb coleus

forskholli..

http://www.advance-health.com/coleus.html

It " the chemical it activates a second messenger system that

is responsible for carrying out the... affects of hormones. "

It is really helped me to feel more mentally together. I

would describe it like if my hormones were all normal , I

would feel this strength. Even without taking my dong quai

{estrogen} and puncture vine{ testosterone} I feel better on

the forskholi. I will see how I do without the pregnenolone

which also helped my feeling of brain/emotional togetherness,

I have zippo testosterone, low estradiol, estrogen ,

progesterone, I had the low progesterone from my 20s when I

got some facial hair on my chin. Then at some point my

testosterone went down. Now into menopause my estrogen

levels are low.

It is known to do quite a bit of other things.. decreases

allergy symptoms , for glaucoma.. check out the website page

above.
