Relacore Ingredients Information

Although Relacore is not promoted as a fat burner, which it is not, it is promoted as a diet pill that will mitigate stress and reduce your belly fat, and we've already established that you can't spot reduce, so Relacore's claim of reducing belly fat is unsubstantiated. It should really be promoted as a stress reducing supplement, but promoting it as a diet pill will make it an easier sell. Below are the Relacore ingredients:

Magnolia (bark) - is a traditional Chinese medicine also known as Hou Po used for treating low qi (energy). It is used in Chinese medicine to promote Qi movement. In more general uses, magnolia bark is used as an anti-stress and anti anxiety product. In one study involving rats, the researchers found that "administration of Banxia-houpu decoction and fluoxetine produced beneficial effects on the stressed rats by improving sucrose consumption."1

In another study involving overweight human subjects who eat more in stressful situations, researchers studied the effects of Magnolia on weight control. The subjects were treated with extracts of Magnolia and Phellodendron or a placebo for 6 weeks. Measurements for cortisol levels, weight change, and psychological measures of stress were taken. They found that there was significant weight gain for the placebo group, but no significant weight gain in the magnolia group.

The study also found that the treatment group tended to have lower levels of cortisol in the evening compared to the placebo group. Bedtime cortisol levels decreased in the treated group and increased in the placebo group. The results of this study lead to the conclusion that obese subjects who eat in response to stress may benefit from taking a diet supplement containing extracts of Magnolia and Phellodendron, where the mechanism of action is through the reduction of cortisol levels and possibly perceived level of stress, helping the subjects maintain body weight. 2

Passion Flower - also known as Passiflora is a genus of flowering plants in the family Passifloraceae. Their leaves and roots have a long history of use among native americans where fresh or dried leaves are used to make a tea that is used to treat insomnia, hysteria and epilepsy. Passiflora is also used as a pain killer, and it is found to have anti depressant properties. Studies have found passiflora to improve performance and treat anxiety; however more studies are needed. 3

Niacinamide - is a B Complex vitamin (B3). It is needed for over 50 body processes. Like all the B-complex vitamins, it is important for release of energy from carbohydrates and fats, the metabolism of proteins, making certain hormones, and assisting in the formation of red blood cells.

Panax Ginseng - Ginseng is one of the most highly regarded energy tonics of Chinese herbalism. It is an herbal adaptogen, helping the body to adapt to a variety of stresses. It is considered to be one of the most powerful of medicinal herbs-improving one's circulatory system and enhancing the body's metabolism. Read more about Ginseng here.

Pinellia - is also known as ban xia in Chinese medicine. It is often used in conjunction with magnolia bar in Chinese remedies. Pinellia appears to have anti-depressant effects as one of the main ingredients in Banxia Houpu decoction, which is used to treat depression. See magnolia above.

As you can see from the ingredients above, Relacore is designed to combat stress and help reduce the stress levels one experience. With Relacore, the individual can expect to feel less stress while taking it, and they should notice an improvement in overall mood as various ingredients in Relacore have anti-stress and anti-depressant effects.
