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!!! |
| banu | posted 11-Mar-2007 10:45pm Hi Do we get side effects if we use relacore? |
| Anonymous | posted 2-Apr-2007 3:46pm HOW MANY RELACORE SHOULD YOU TAKE A DAY |
| 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? |
| Anonymous | posted 18-Jul-2007 1:27pm i have alopecia- which i got from stress, does anyone know if taking this product would further cause your hair to fall out? |
| 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. |

| HUSBAND AND HIS WIFE | posted 1-Jun-2008 11:07pm RELACORE HAVE CURVED MY APPETITE,LESS STRESS,IT HAS ONLY BEEN 5 DAYS SINCE I STARTED |
| 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... |
