Relacore Review

Relacore

Marketed by Basic Research, Relacore blames major body fat problems on cortisol. It promises to reduce stress which will reduce cortisol which will reduce body fat mainly in the stomach, buttocks, and thighs. The main ingredient is Magnolia bark. It is said to specifically target stubborn belly fat.



Ingredients and Mechanism of Action

Cortisol has been called the “stress hormone” and relacore has been shown to reduce stress in some individuals. So it may help individuals with certain stress induced conditions. It also contains DHEA, which has been used to decrease cholesterol.

Maybe Relacore didn’t hear. But the Federal Trade Commission and the FDA cracked down on the product Cortislim for their marketing practices. They were claiming that cortisol was the cause of body fat stores and their product could reduce excess cortisol. That sounds just like what Relacore claims! The fact is there are no studies to back up the idea that cortisol traps large amounts of body fat and causes obesity, nor are there any studies to support the idea that Relacore can combat that problem if it existed. They use ingredients that are great for certain purposes. But you won’t find the ingredient list on their website, because it has never been proven to fight excess fat or to promote weight loss in any way, shape, or form.

If you do a little digging, you will find that the company behind Relacore already has a history with the FTC. As an example, they produced a “research paper” supposedly written by a physician. The individual who wrote it did have a PhD, but in herbs. Then they used this “research paper”, took out a few parts, and replaced the product name throughout the paper (with Zantrax-3). They have also been known to make claims of supposed clinical studies, but without anything to validly back up those claims.

Overall Impressions of Relacore:

Relacore is on shaky ground, being that they can’t actually prove cortisol builds up in high enough amounts to cause major belly fat. But they also use a formula they won’t reveal on their website, because its ingredients haven’t been proven to work. Then you add the company history, and the grave just keeps getting deeper. All in all, I wouldn’t conduct business dealings with the company behind Relacore, let alone purchase Relacore itself.

Yes, I did use Relacore. I am a 38 year old mother of 3, and as the stress builds, so did my excess belly weight. I tried Realcore...gave it a true shot....and IT DIDN'T WORK.

After the first week of using this product, things seemed to have worked. In the second week I began to incure problems with bowl movements to a point where I was going almost every half hour. All in all, this product is not was they say it is and be carefull before using it. Do your research before spending excess amount of money.

I have used Relacore Extra, it has worked very well for me, with an average weight loss of 3-5 lbs per week. It does help me reduce stress. My husband used Relacore and it helped him lose a lot more. He's a truck driver and he lost over 50 lbs on Relacore PM, which is no longer available.

I HAVE USED THIS FOR A YEAR AND I LOVE IT

By jenean frybarger, January 28, 2009 @ 7:24 pm

I have tryed relacore of two months. taking the minimum dose of 2 pills a day. I don't feel good on it, somewhat nausiated and moodiness and tiredness. Can't find any side effects or drug interations posted anywhere? Will not take it anymore, waste of money.

By jenean frybarger, January 28, 2009 @ 7:32 pm

ps. I did not loose any wieght or belly fat, used the relacore extra, non sedating formula and felt fatiqued.

By Ms. J, January 29, 2009 @ 2:02 pm

After taking Relacore, I did not feel good and I did not lose any weight. I felt somewhat nauseated, disoriented, moody and tired. Also, Relacore gave me the run around when I requested a refund. I called the number shown at their website several times. I got a busy signal (obviously I am not the only unhappy customer). When I did finally get through I requested the address to Relacore. I was transferred three times before being told to call back later because ‘that department was apparently out to lunch.’ Apparently none of the Relacore employees that I spoke with could provide the address to Relacore. My advice, DON’T BUY THIS PRODUCT! IT DOES NOT WORK and CUSTOMERS WHO TRY TO RETURN RELACORE ARE GIVEN THE RUNAROUND.

By Shannon, February 24, 2009 @ 4:46 pm

I have used Relacore in the past and did note a change in my mood for the better. I seemed less stressed. I recently purchased a bottle of Relacore Extra. I just started taking it today... so I'll have to come back at a later date to repost a review. Cheers!!! =)

By elizabeth, March 2, 2009 @ 8:08 pm

Relacore did not work for me. The product had me feeling jittery.

By Emmily, March 3, 2009 @ 4:06 pm

I have been using relacore for a week and love the fact of the stress relief. I am a single mom for 3 kids under the age of 8. I need all the energy and fat loss to keep up with them. I love it so far. And i can tell im losing a few pounds. LOVE IT!!!!

By Chrysti, March 3, 2009 @ 10:12 pm

I have used Relacore for about a year now. Taking the recommended dose caused me to be sluggish, but taking one to two pills when needed for stress works wonders. Unfortunatly I lost no weight with this product.

By Linda, March 18, 2009 @ 4:44 pm

I have just started taking RELACORE this month...I've noticed I don't have the "mid-day" fatigue, even when going to bed at 2AM and getting back up at 6:30AM....I also have increased energy. I am confused as to how much and how often to take it....the bottle I have says 2 with a full glass of water 3 times a day. The one website I was on earlier says 1 capsule 3 times a day, not to excede more than 3 daily. So, now what??

By Judith, March 24, 2009 @ 11:41 pm

Tried Relacore to lose wieght for up and coming surgery and was out of luck, it did not work

By dianne, March 31, 2009 @ 8:17 am

i did used relacore for a month now and im disapointed.my problem is my belly fat thats why i take this but instead of losing my belly fat it goes worst.my belly fat now is bigger than before i take relacore.dont waist ur money....

By carol, April 17, 2009 @ 7:39 am

I have used relacore before and I felt good while taking it and I also lost some weight. I am starting to take it again (been taking in for 2 days) and I have already noticed the change in my mood, it is great! I am only trying to loss 15-20 pounds, with the relacore I don't feel hungry all of the time. It helps me feel full with eating healthy foods. I will add that i have tried many supplements before and nothing has worked for me like relacore!

By sarah, April 19, 2009 @ 11:19 am

have you guys every thought that maybe it didnt work because your supposed to eat healthy and exercise correctly with it?!?! uhhh duhhh.. works for me. :)

By maysa, April 20, 2009 @ 4:04 pm

I exercise regularly and eat healty food. I had to use relacor to lose five pounds for the upcoming dance competition. RELACORE DOES NOT WORK. My stomach was upset and I felt nausea exactly one hour after taking relacore. WASTE OF MONEY.

By Ashley, June 30, 2009 @ 3:49 pm

I used Relacore back in 2005 and it worked GREAT. I went from a size 15 to a 3 in 3months.Stress problems where gone but been off for a while.Thinking about trying it again.
