Medically forskolin provides a route to inhibition of colon cancer cell growth and survival (2). It is also a vasodilator, may be helpful in controlling the cause of glaucoma (3), reduces urinary tract infections, and may help to increase the skin's natural resistance to burning under UV light (1).
