Relora is a new, non sedative herbal stress relief formula derived from magnolia officinalis and phellodendron amurense extracts that supports those with general stress and related irritability, restlessness, food cravings, snacking, and poor sleep quality to relax and reclaim a sense of stability and well being. It is a patented, standardised, proprietary blend of these plant extracts. It has been shown to support normal, healthy levels of cortisol and DHEA helping to manage stress-related eating. In human studies Relora was shown to be a safe, effective, rapid-acting, non-sedating supplement, which promoted relaxation, calm and a feeling of well-being. It has also been demonstrated to lower Cortisol levels, the hormone released during periods of stress. Elevated Cortisol levels cause various health problems including a compromised immune system, high blood pressure, depression, insomnia, loss of vitality and weight gain.
Relora is an exciting new natural anti-anxiety/stress relief ingredient to control stress-related eating and drinking that has the added value of being non-sedating with potential anti-depressant properties. In central nervous system receptor binding assays, the plant extracts in Relora bind to several important targets associated with anxiety. It normalizes hormone levels associated with stress-induced obesity and eating/drinking behavior. Stress is being shown to play a significant role in a wide variety of conditions and disease states. Recent work from the National Institute of Health (NIH) and other major research centers has demonstrated that stress is a significant contributor to immune dysfunction, cardiovascular disease, other age-related disorders, and to excess body fat. This condition is related to stress-induced hormone imbalances, especially imbalances of cortisol and DHEA. Until now, the only course of action for loosing this fat has been stress reduction with exercise and diet. Relora can normalize cortisol and DHEA levels in stressed individuals, induce relaxation, and act as an aid in controlling weight and stress-related eating or drinking.
