Im thinking of cutting using forskolin and caffeine, I wanna leave yohimbine out because I don’t want to risk overstimulation (I’m mildly insomniac).
I though to take forskolin for 3 months at 50mg pure forskolin a day 2 tabs of 10% 250mg coleus forskholii and caffeine at 200 mg every morning.
I also thought to substitute my daily coffees( 1-3 espressos and 1-3 turkish coffees) with green tea and black tea, although i might keep 1-2 coffees a day for sheer love of the good smell of dark turkish coffee.
I think that forskolin and 1g magnesium before sleep will bump my already high (rocks being 18) levels and help my fat metabolism, while caffeine will kill my cravings and keep me focused.
so what do you think?
200 mg caffeine , 50 mg froskolin, 500 mg calcium, multivitamin,fish oil- in the morning
fish oil - after lunch
1g magnesium, fish oil, chromium-before sleep
me nutrition and training is pretty good, been doing what commandments says for three years and a half, i have 18.2 inch arms, and pretty much am progressing, my genetics make it very difficult for me to lose fat, last time i cut i became like a zombie bcs i had to progressively cut carbs and calories, which is not the best, i have a relatively high bf homeostasis, nope i am not justifying myself, i eat very healthy and very low carb all year round , walk a lot and whatnot, now i moved the chromium in the morning, please critique my stack
You don’t have a ‘stack’, you have one supplement, forskolin, which has ONE study in obese men to validate its use as a fat burner. There is also no proven mechanism of action and no measurements of fat metabolism were reported.
Chromium is a mood supplement, it has no effect on fat burning.
Caffeine supplementation on top of a large caffeine intake when suffering insomnia is unwise.
Green tea contains EGCG which is thought to stimulate fat oxidation though again the evidence is limited.

Ephedrine and caffeine - love these.
Others are meh[/quote]
I can’t find ephedrine where I live, also for personal reasons I can’t buy it online. Yohimbine, isn’t it a mild MAOI? Would it interfere with SSRIs? Does it have any agonistic effect on the Beta-2 adrenogenic receptors, or is it only a alpha-2?
Also I seriously find it offensive that people, without knowing me, my training etc, based solely on my age, start judging me and do not advise me directly but start accusing me as a troll. Either way, I was looking at a product Biotest itself advertises as very effective ,forskolin.
Carbolin 19 actually is a more bioavailable form of forskolin (coloforsin 1,9 carbonate), two major studies found that pure forskolin promotes increases in testosterone and promotes lipolysis without cns stimulation by surpassing a step in the adrenogenic induced adipocyte release of fatty acids in the bloodstream.
It used overweight men and the variance in results is huge. Also it was sponsored by Sabinsa, the company that holds the patent on ForsLean, a forskolin based supplement. Therefore I strongly question its validity.
