Coleus forskohlii root extract standardised for forskolin — a well-known active for weight-management and respiratory formulations.
Forskolin-standardised Coleus root extract, with controlled residue handling and upgradation.
Coleus forskohlii is an Ayurvedic root botanical and the sole natural source of forskolin, a labdane diterpene. CTA extracts the root and standardises it for forskolin content across a broad grade range.
Our process covers standardised forskolin grades, a documented residue-handling protocol and an upgradation route for higher-assay material. Controlled residue handling is an important part of a clean Coleus process, and CTA's documented approach supports both nutraceutical and higher-purity requirements.
CTA supplies Indian Coleus across multiple grades. Custom specifications are developed against a documented buyer requirement.
| Botanical source | Coleus forskohlii (Willd.) Briq. — dried root |
| Appearance | Pale-yellow to brown fine powder |
| Standardisation | 10% / 20% / 40% forskolin; higher grades on specification |
| Test method | HPLC |
| Loss on drying | Not more than 5% |
| Total ash | Not more than 6% |
| Heavy metals | Conforms to USP / regulatory limits |
| Microbiology | TPC ≤10,000 cfu/g; yeast & mould ≤500 cfu/g; E. coli & Salmonella absent |
| Pesticide residues | Within IP / USP / EP limits |
| Particle size | Buyer-specified mesh available |
All values are typical specifications and are confirmed batch-by-batch on the Certificate of Analysis. Custom specifications can be developed against a buyer's documented requirement. Values are indicative and to be confirmed by CTA's technical team before publication.
CTA's Coleus programme is supported by a documented, residue-controlled process:
A documented process library is what separates a speciality product from a commodity — it makes grades reproducible and lets CTA develop a custom specification with confidence.
Statements describe traditional use and the role of the active in normal body function. They are structure–function statements and not claims to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any disease.

Coleus forskohlii is permitted under FSSAI and AYUSH for the relevant applications and is widely traded internationally. Grade documentation and dossiers are provided on enquiry.
Note: grades, marker percentages and regulatory status are indicative and to be confirmed by CTA's technical and regulatory team before publication.
CTA standardises Coleus forskohlii root extract at 10%, 20% and 40% forskolin, with higher-assay grades produced via an upgradation route. All grades are assayed by HPLC.
CTA's standard Coleus extract is produced from the dried root, the part in which forskolin is concentrated.
CTA follows a documented residue-handling protocol as part of its Coleus process, supporting a clean, well-controlled extract suited to both nutraceutical and higher-purity requirements.
