Relacore
SummaryRelacore is a an over-the-counter diet pill. The concept behind this pill is that excess stress causes tummy flab. DescriptionRelacore elevates your mood to reduce stress, thus allowing you to lose the body fat caused by stress. That fat is caused by Cortisol. Cortisol is a hormone in your body that is linked to stress. But, it's also linked to body fat, especially around your waist. Relacore reduces Cortisol levels in your body, resulting in a mild anti-anxiety effect. CriticismLike most diet pills, this product make a lot of claims that probably aren't true. The FDA is often chasing people who market these pills around, trying to keep them from making such wild claims. Cortisol likely does have a connection to body fat, but it's hard to say to what degree. It may only be a mild effect. Relacore's main ingredient is Magnolia bark, which is believed to have a mild stress-reducing effect. But, it's unclear if this has any real connection to Cortisol or fat loss. Relacore is marketed and packaged in a way to make it resemble a prescription drug. Many feel this is deceptive.

| Anonymous | posted 4-Feb-2006 11:28am I have been on Relacore for 4 days and can tell a definite difference. I read somewhere that it is being packaged two different ways - with instructions on one to take 2 caplets 3 times a day and on the other to only take 1 three times a day. I started out with 2, but got a horrible migraine. I am prone to migraines, so I don't know if it was the Relacore or not. Anyway, I did cut the dosage in half. I can tell a huge difference in my mood and energy level. I have lost 3 pound in 4 days. I doubt this will work for everyone, but if your weight is from stress, it is worth a shot. I was quite sure my weight was stress/cortisol related, as there have been a lot of changes in my life lately. I gained 20 pounds in 6 months - all in my stomach. So, so far, I am pleased with this product. |

| Anonymous | posted 23-May-2006 10:11am I am skeptical about using this product. I have a great deal of stress in my life right now but the only problem area is my stomach and with a high metabolism I am not sure if this will be the right choice for me. |

| Anonymous | posted 8-Jun-2006 9:53am I have been using Relacore for about 30 days and have managed to lose 28lbs and I have gone from a size 24 in pants to a 18-20. My energy level has really increased I now exercise, walk and play sports with my family. Before Relacore I was lazy, overweight and lacked energy to do anyhting but sleep. Now I am motivated and energetic and enjoy being able to do things I couldn't do before. I would definitely recommend to give Relacore a try. |

| joyce7 | posted 27-Jun-2006 5:00pm I just started Relacore this week. I have lost 4 lbs I'm sure that is water weight. Time will tell. However I'm still hungery. Not bad but just enough thats it's on my mind more than I would like. Any ideas? And what about Chromium Plicolinare 500 anyone with info on that? Thank you. |
| Anonymous | posted 30-Jun-2006 1:42pm I tried this product for three months and felt at first that I was losing the belly fat. However, it was just my imagination. It also did not control my anxiety and I still ate the same, without any weight loss. It is totally a waste of money like all of the other supplements. |
| Anonymous | posted 5-Jul-2006 8:04pm Hey I just started with Relacore a few days ago....not sure if it has done much, but we'll see, anyone have any ideas on excersizing and/or eating healthy while having a full time job, and always on the go??? I am terrible with these things lol but I need to lose about 40 lbs. Luv4u22264@aol.com please lemme know :) thanx |

| Anonymous | posted 4-Aug-2006 11:14am I used this product for 3 days & on the third day had to be rushed to the hospital for a SEVERE allergic reaction to one of the ingredients-BUYER BEWARE!!!! Let's just say the doc said it was a very close call-try turning beet red & not being able to breathe,,my throat literally had starting swelling shut. This pill is definitly not for everyone!!!! |
| Anonymous | posted 31-Aug-2006 4:36pm Okay, I am seriously thinking about trying this product. But a few of comments are concerning me. I have some stress and my belly has shown up as a result. I am not over weight but would love to trim my waist line. I have started walking a mile in a half 5 days a week and plan to add some crunches later. I weigh 146 but want to get to 135. My BMI may say one thing but my physcial body says another. I need some sound advice on this before I try, plus I plan to contact my Doctor and ask him. Please help dots777@aol.com |
| Anonymous | posted 6-Sep-2006 11:41pm its not like other diet pills- there is no energy rush that comes from taking it... in fact i felt nothing; no suppression of hunger, no elevation of my mood... in my opinion it doesnt work. hydroxycut however, does work. |
| Anonymous | posted 4-Oct-2006 1:50pm I have used relacore for 4 months along with reducing my calorie intake to about 1600 to 1800 per day and have lost 105 lbs.it has made me have more energy and mood level has improved alot. I own my own business and have alot of stress on a daily basis. |
| Anonymous | posted 8-Oct-2006 7:43pm I haven't tried relacore, but am considering it. I weigh about 170, mostly in the stomach area, and I want to get to 140. Any ideas or recommendations? I have never taken a diet supplement before. HELP PLEASE!!! |

| Anonymous13 | posted 25-Apr-2007 6:21am i'm taking relacore and zantrex-3 as i saw in an ad that some people are using both. sounds bad.. but i guess u can say im feeling desperate. aside from that i'm taking diet classics. it's the same ingredients and they even put the brand on the bottle.. but it's way cheaper. hope i'm okay. as for now, i'm and can't sleep which is what happens to me almost every other day thinking about things that stress me out. but earlier today i felt the "upper" relacore said to give... but now i'm anxious again :( maybe i should try relcore-pm? it looked like the same ingredients though.. thoughts? |

| Curious | posted 29-Jul-2007 10:56pm For the person taking Zantrex and Relacore...how has it worked for you? I started taking the Relacroe today, and will begin with the Zantrex tomorrow...have you, or did you see a difference? |
| Anonymous | posted 14-Aug-2007 3:21pm I was on relacore for 4 months. I lost no weight at all. What did happen was. I got seere EDEMA in both legs. (Swelling due to water retention in the legs) this stumped both my doctors, the hospital and me. It was only after I ran out of it and could not go to the drug store for a week to get more that the swelling started going down. I attribute the EDEMA to relacore. Is it for certain that it cause it...no. However. the fact that the swelling went down only after getting off relacore, leads me to believe it may not be such a safe product after all.. |
| Anonymous | posted 4-Sep-2007 11:38am for the person that is combo pilling(relacore and zantrex) are taking recomended doses of each three times a day because i too saw an ad in a magazine. |
| Anonymous | posted 8-Nov-2007 3:38pm I have been taking relocore for about 2 months now. I have not really changed the way ate nor do I exercise. I have lost about 10 pounds and I am not sure of my inches. I was a 16/18 or 18 when I started. Now I am a 16 and I have a little extra room in that size. My appetite has decreased and I believe my mood has changed alot. |
| Anonymous | posted 7-Jan-2008 12:42pm Husband was on Relacore. He went through the 1st bottle (220 cap) and his feet and lower legs swelled a lot (Edema). It swelled so much that he went to the doctor. They had no idea what caused it. He ran out of it and I finally bought some about 2 weeks later. (the swelling had lessened some in the 2 weeks, however we did not put 2 and 2 together.) He went back on it and the swelling got worse. So much so he could only wear adjustable sandles, as he could not get his fet in shoes, not even his slippers. The doctor put him on a water pill to reduce the edema. it helped a little. It was only about 2 weeks later that it dawned on me to have him stop the Relacore. He stopped the swelling went down a bit. He will NOT GO BACK ON IT. Only problem now is, what ever damage it did, his legs will not go down to a normal size. They are still quite swollen 4 months later! We had to go out to a specialty shoe store to try to buy extra extra wide shoes for him. So I do not know what other internal damage has been done, however I am reporting it to the FDA medwatch program as diet aids are watched by them. |
| Naomi | posted 9-Jan-2008 2:42pm Relacore makes your hair all out!!! you get dizzy, blured vision, and headaches, I even was vomiting. Throw it away or don't buy it. |
| Christine | posted 27-Feb-2008 12:37pm I was trying relacore with zantrex 3. definately dont recommend it. the relacore made me feel calmer, im normally extremely stressed out. i was really sick the first 3 days. i wasnt sure if it was the zantrex or the relacore. so i stopped taking the zantrex. and i feel so much better. relacore is great for reducing my stress levels, it helps me lose weight because it supresses my appetite. but i think if you just took a vitamin/pill that only supresses your appetite, you'd get the exact same results. i mean obviously, people who are eating snacks all day long, or more servings than they should for meals, they will gain weight. i wouldnt bother with it though. maybe for a week to help you reduce the need to eat, get use to that feeling of not eating so much, let your stomach shrink a little. then stop taking it and see how well you do managing your intake of foods. the only reason i actually tried this was because of it reducing stress and helping with weight loss, plus it was a lot cheaper at walmart than anywhere online. 19.95 vs. 49.99, also the bottles at walmart have 120 capsules. the ones online im pretty sure have 60/80. i only took 2 for breakfast and 2 at lunch. a side effect for me was feeling anxious, shaky, and i would space out randomly for 5 minutes at a time. i think it helps if your willing to eat healthier, smaller portions and exercise. obviously. |

| Anonymous | posted 7-Jun-2008 9:03pm I too have taken relacore. Only until I read this site, did I realize that this product is causing the swelling in my legs. I have never had this problem. I bought this bottle of relacore about 3 weeks ago, I have actually gained weight and my legs have swollen up. After reading the two anonymous emails about swelling in their legs-or spouse's legs, the light clicked on. I took my bottle of relacore to the trash and dumped it. I need to lose weight, probably about 50 to 60 pounds but this is definitely not the way to do it. Thank you to the two previous anonymous writers who discussed the Edema. You probably saved my life. You are right, one never knows what these products do to your body in the long run. |
| Anonymous | posted 12-Jun-2008 2:08am I took Relacore and it made my poop very stinky. I experienced no male enhancement whatsoever. It does not work. I am still a heffalump. |
| Anonymous | posted 12-Jun-2008 3:00pm I started relacore and loved the way I felt but I too started having really bad swelling in my legs and found on this site some others had the same problem.The swelling is so bad I have what appears to be a red rash under my skin.No more for me!By the way this was after only a few days of taking it. |
| Anonymous | posted 16-Jun-2008 12:53pm I am a recovering anorexic...I lost 46 pounds in two months when I would do my own "diet"...since recovering I have gained some of the weight back and now im trying to lose weight in a "healthy" way... I have been taking relacore and zantrax together for about a week...I dont own a scale so its difficult to say how much weight I have already lost but I can tell I have lost some...I dont feel hungry @ all during the day, And I find myself having to remind myself to eat...which can be good and bad for me since I have struggled with the diease. anyway, just letting anyone curious know... I think its a good combination and i think it works. |
| BigOkie | posted 16-Jun-2008 6:06pm Hello everyone, I started "combo pilling" Zantrex and Relacore today... I am male, 37, 6'5" and weigh more than 250lbs. I tend to stress eat, which has caused me to become fat and lazy. I hope that the Zantrex will give me the zip I need to get up off my behind and I hope that the Relacore will keep me me from binge eating when I get stressed. I know that I only started "combo pilling" today but I have to tell you that I feel great and have gotten a lot of things done today. This morning I had a very lite breakfast and a very lite lunch this afternoon. It is dinner time and I have no desire to eat. Normally I eat a huge breakfast, a large lunch, I snack before dinner, I eat dinner and then I snack again before bed. Time will tell but so far so good... |
| Anonymous | posted 29-Jul-2008 5:06pm I tried Relacore about a year ago, and I went from a size 16-18 in pants to a size 8-10 in a matter of 3 months. I started exercising about a month into the 3 months, and feel exercise helped me have such fast results. But like any other diet pill on the market it does different strokes for different folks. I am now in a size 14 and because I stopped working out and got busy with school and kids, picked up my bad habbits again. So back to Relacore I go, I was to blame for getting too relaxed again. Exercise and plenty of water were the kep for me! But Relacore gives me the head start I need. Good Luck! |

The first 2 days were fine, but today I doubled over with abd. pain a 1/2 an hour after taking them. Not sure what caused it. But IF it happens again, I am stopping one of them and see what happens. |
| worked before | posted 19-Sep-2008 8:45pm Hi. I tried Relacore (or maybe it was Relora...basically the same thing) a few years ago. I often used a "carb receptor" in addition when I ate too many carbs. I lost two sizes and about 20 pounds. Very little effort on my part, no physical concerns from the capsules, and I was feeling good. I had plenty of belly fat, as well as stress. I quit taking it and the pounds slowly came back. I'm going to try it again! |
| Amanda | posted 26-Sep-2008 10:44am i started taking relacore and zantrex-3 yesterday i want to loose about 30lbs or more i weight 175 and im 5-5 that would make me so happy i only took one of each in the morning and took a relacore pm for night i did not do the afternoon one cause i had felt sick but everyones body is different you just haft weight it out and try if not then you will never know but today i am feeling fine i will start doing it 3 times a day after next week you should always start out slowly when trying something new cause your body could reject it then it says on the bottle to take 2 relacore and 2 zantrex well after about a month i will sart doing that if i can handle it goodluck to the ones who try it |
| wanna lose 12lbs | posted 30-Sep-2008 2:55pm I've been taking Relacore for anxiety for maybe two weeks and I feel that it does make a little difference in that area. As far as losing weight, I haven't noticed a difference yet so I decided to add Zantrex 3 to it. The first day, I took 1 Zantrex at around 6pm. I was up until 4:30am cleaning!! It was nice for my house but not for my sleep. So day 2, I got up at 11 and took 2 Relacore and 1 Zantrex. About 10 minutes later, my face and neck turned bright red! I even turned a little red and was itchy around my knees and on my bum. It's only been 20 minutes and I can feel it getting better. I'll keep ya updated.... |
| wanna lose 12lbs | posted 17-Oct-2008 2:17am So I've been taking the two for the past few weeks. Not every day, but almost. Every now and then I get red and itchy, but not every time. I still have energy but don't feel as shaky. Maybe lost a pound or two. |

| Jan | posted 27-Nov-2008 9:50pm Amanda....I too am 175, 5'5 and want to lose about 30-40lbs......I just started the relacore and zantrex 3 today. Had been taking carb interceptor pills if consumed carbs and cut out almost all carbs few days ago and have lost about 7lbs from that alone. I had been on Atkins twice before in my life and lost the 40lbs in three months twice....lack of following the healthy way of the after atkins diet, along with just not watching the weight creep up caused me to gain back 10 lbs this time.....I am not sure if safe to take the relacore, zantrex 3 as well as the carb interceptor on the days when I do consume carbs. Anyone know? I have no appetite but it says the zantrex is activated by food so I have to eat...Will see if can sleep tonight...might have to buy a bottle of the pm stuff.....I am healthy, 51yrs old and have 6-1/2 yr old twins who help keep me going..:) Please keep posting your results...any suggestions, please email me at baileycall@yahoo.com |

| Anonymous | posted 13-Aug-2009 12:56pm A couple years ago i did the zantrex 3 with relacore. And i lost about 20ibs bringing me down to my normal weight of 118-125lbs. it really worked for me, gave me a boost of energy and also helped curb my appetite some, but was still able to eat a meal when i needed, and not feel like i was starving myself. i also started reaching for the healthy food snacks which im sure helped. i recently gained alot of way from a medication i was on and stress, so yet again i am now taking the combo, and look forward to my results. :) |
| HBB | posted 16-Aug-2009 11:09pm I have been on the Relacore Extra for 3 days and all it has done is make me sleepy. I've had no energy or mood elevation. I feel less stress because I'm sleepy all the time! |
| John | posted 21-Aug-2009 2:35pm I have taken Relacore for a month and have lost my small spare tire and 13 pounds but I also starting reading labels and fat content of every thing I consumed at the same time I started taking Relacore. I excercise alot as well. I think it more psychological for me that this pill may have worked. I ride a bike 50 to 150 miles per week and in the last couple of weeks started getting nasty rashes on my upper thighs and other areas and the rashes stopped me from riding for a while. My skin seems to be drying out as well. I never had that problem before and I realized now it all started since taking Relacore. I done with it for now to see what happens. |
| baybee girl | posted 8-Nov-2009 11:39pm i take relacore, acaipure and triothin 3x a day. combo pilling really works. two years ago i lost thirty lbs in 2 months this way. (i took relacore, hydroxycut and cylaris)all at the same time. im hoping to lose 20 lbs this time |
| Personal Experience | posted 17-Dec-2009 3:10am I heard about Relacore and Zantrex 3 from a magazine and thought it was crazy at first to combo pill, but I had always been over weight so I figured I'd try it. I was at a weight of 298lbs and was 5'7, I was very unhappy with myself. I tried diet and exercise, but everything seemed to just get worse. Finally I got serious and I started walking, dancing and eating right while taking one of each of the pills twice a day, morning and afternoon, and surprisingly the weight started to come off. In about a few months I had went down to 150lbs. I know that from my experience it worked, but I always think the main thing is diet and exercise!! =) Well good luck to those who may try it =) |
| Anonymous | posted 19-Feb-2010 4:33pm I have been taking relacore and lately its made me feel crazy! I get so angry at anything and everything. If anything I feel like relacore has contributed to my stress because before I wasn't nearly as bad. I get to the point where I just want to break things and thats def. not normal. Has anyone else had this happen to them while taking relacore? |
| Anonymous | posted 12-Mar-2010 2:19am ive been taking relacore for a few days now and ive noticed that my appetite has decreased even though i have food on my mind, my stress level has gone down but thats because its making me sleepy, I dont see a mood elevation but i have noticed i get annoyed real easily and according to my mother i seam blah. I take 2 pills in the morning and 2 pills in the afternoon, ever since ive taken relacore i cant sleep at all yet im so tired and makes me zone out. ive most likely lost 2-3lbs and not sure if im going to stop using or not, but i honestly think its a waste of money. |
