Relacore is a product that claims that weight gain is the result of excess stress. It has been designed to combat a stress hormone known as cortisol. This hormone is involved in a number of key processes in the body, for example glucose metabolism, blood pressure, immune function and inflammation. In times of stress the body can produce an excessive amount of cortisol. At high levels, cortisol can negatively affect cognitive performance, suppress thyroid function, cause blood sugar imbalances and promote the production of fat. Numerous users of Relacore have reported adverse side effects.

How does Relacore work?

The makers of Relacore, the Carter-Reed Company, claim that Relacore shrinks belly fat, reduces stress, fights mid-day fatigue, and reduces mild anxiety while increasing energy.

The main ingredient in Relacore related to cortisol control is Magnolia bark or honokiol. When compared to pharmaceutical drugs such as Valium (diazepam), honokiol appears to be as effective in its anti-anxiety activity, yet not nearly as powerful as a sedative. This anti-anxiety effect is supported by numerous animal studies, although clinical data is lacking. However, there is no scientific data that validates the ability of Magnolia bark to lower cortisol levels.

While it is probable that stress can play a role in weight gain, it is one that is secondary to a sedentary lifestyle and poor diet. Interestingly, there are an appreciable number of testimonials on the internet from users who have found Relacore useful as a mood regulator. Far fewer have reported Relacore as being particularly effective for weight loss.
