[Fucoxanthin] Coleus forskohlii
Coleus forskohlii is part of the mint family of plants and has long been used in India, Thailand and parts of SE Asia as a spice as well as an ingredient in various medicine concoctions for the treatment of heart ailments and stomach cramps. The roots of the plant are a natural source of a compound that can increase cellular levels of metabolism. As recorded in ancient Sanskrit texts, coleus has been used as a medical herb to treat heart and lung diseases, intestinal spasms, insomnia, and convulsions. Stimulation that is caused by forskolin supposedly leads to blood vessel dilation, inhibition of allergic reactions, and possibly an increased secretion of thyroid hormone. Forskolin has other reported uses as well, including inhibition of the spread of cancer cells. It has been reported that forskolin may also assist in dilating blood vessels and improving the forcefulness with which the heart pumps blood. One study did find evidence that inhaling forskolin could decrease lung spasms for people with asthma.
Apidexin
Fucoxanthin - obtained from Japanese Wakame seaweed. It's thought to be one of the first types of marine vegetation originating on the planet over one billion years ago. Some scientific studies suggest that a pigment in this seaweed found in the form of a carotenoid called Fucoxanthin, may hold answers to targeting and reducing abdominal fat. It has thermogenic properties that can help increase the body's metabolic rate. It may support healthy liver function, an important factor in weight management since the liver promotes the efficient utilization of fat and facilitates the removal of cholesterol by-products from the bloodstream. According to Kazuo Miyashita, leader of the study funded by the Japanese government: "Since the abdominal area contains abundant adipose tissue, the compound might be effective at shrinking oversized guts."
