RE: Relora good for adrenals and sleep?

[Guest guest]

It was advertised on TV for a long time showing people who were fat around the

belly and saying that this is due to " stress " and how " stress " makes us fat and

how this was due to high cortisol levels and that their product " Relora " reduced

cortisol. It was on a lot a couple of years ago and I haven't seen this

commerical for a few years now.

>>You said this was a great article (on Nov 12--I'm a touch behind!). I

found the below info on RELORA, but I seem to remember folks saying bad

things about it. What's up with this? Do you and others recommend it

for low cortisol? Do you think it would help w/sleep if one is troubled

by low cortisol?<<

I have no idea what is in it so really can;t comment.

,

That was a product that contained Relora, I think it was called

Relocor. This product is the pure Relora.

Relora is trademark name made by Next Pharmaceuticals. It has a proprietary

blend of Magnolia officinalis and Phellodendron arnurense. Many companies

sell it under their own brand names. Swanson is one, I got mine from a

company called Nature's Vision but it is the same....pure Relora. You know

by the trademark on the bottle which legally they are required to have. So

any product that advertises " Relora " is pure as long as it doesn't have

anything else added in. Check the label though.

What may happen though is some companies have Relora as part of the

ingredients as well as a host of other things. Relacore has magnolia bark in

it too but it also has a host of vitamins and other things. I am looking at

my bottle right now and notice it even has a fungus in it. They also have

added DHEA.I only took it once, but the Relora I had taken a few times until

I realized it was messing me up and causing my daytime lows to be even

lower.

I am not Val, however, Relora is for HIGH cortisol. You do not want to take

it for low cortisol...even if you are like me and have low a couple of times

during the day and high at night because it messes up your rhythm (I found

out the hard way). The main ingredient is Magnolia Bark.

I imagine for those people who are high all day and night it is good because

it lowers cortisol so if that is what you are trying to do, it might work

very well for you. If you have low cortisol though, it will lower it

further.

I have several bottles of Relora, Corti-Slim as well as Relacore (it has

Magnolia too but also a host of other things) because I thought I had high

cortisol due to my tummy fat and other symptoms but it turns out I am really

low (stage 7) instead. That is the problem with these mass marketed

" solutions " ...they don't address the full picture and the theme that if you

have mid section fat you have excess cortisol isn't always accurate as it

can be a number of things...including low cortisol like in my case.

Val,

You said this was a great article (on Nov 12--I'm a touch behind!). I

found the below info on RELORA, but I seem to remember folks saying bad

things about it. What's up with this? Do you and others recommend it
