Relora Max Reviews
Relora Max Stress Relief & Weight Control
Relora® Max is a natural proprietary blend of a patented extract of Magnolia officinalis and a proprietary extract from Phellodendron amurense. Relora® was developed as an ingredient for dietary supplements and functional foods that could be used in stress management and for stress-related appetite control. This patented blend of plant extracts is the result of screening more than fifty plant fractions from traditional plant medicines used around the world. Relora® has excellent stress management properties without causing sedation.
Relora® Max is a natural stress management ingredient that helps control stress-related eating and has the added value of being non-sedating. In central nervous system receptor binding assays the plant extracts in Relora® binds to several important targets associated with stress. It does not bind to the benzodiazepine receptors that would cause sedation, yet has the relaxing qualities
that have been demonstrated in both animal and human studies. In addition, it normalizes hormone levels associated with stress-induced weight gain and eating behavior. Stress has been shown to play a significant role in a variety of conditions. A large percentage of overweight adults have excessive abdominal fat due to stress-related over eating. Relora® appears to maintain healthy hormone levels in stressed individuals and act as an aid in controlling weight and stress-related eating.
Relora® Max Prevents Weight Gain
When chronic stress occurs, the adrenal glands release stress hormones in large amounts. Elevated stress hormones may lead to excess body fat in several ways. First, they are a potent signal to the brain to increase our appetites and cravings for pleasurable foods, or “comfort foods” such as sugar, fat, and alcohol. Second, these hormones act as a signal to our fat cells to hold onto as much fat and release as little stored fat as they can. Next, they block the effects of many hormones such as insulin, so blood sugar control suffers and comfort food cravings go up. Stress hormones can also interfere with serotonin, one of our brain’s mood chemicals, leading to a depressed feeling and a drive for more comfort foods. Plus these hormones interfere with the hormone known as growth hormone resulting in muscle loss and fat gain. Lastly, sustained stress hormone elevation can lower thyroid function and that means that your metabolism gets turned down. All of these effects can combine to cause our bodies to take in more calories and burn off fewer calories – so we gain weight – and we tend to gain it specifically around our bellies (which increases our risk for hypertension, diabetes and heart disease).
Excess Tummy Flab is not your fault
That’s the startling conclusion reached by scientists who discovered stress is the likely cause of stubborn belly fat. But instead of simply identifying the problem, this time they may have found the solution! According to government researchers, the link between stress, tension, and excess belly fat is clear. High levels of cortisol stress hormone can cause pound after pound of excess body fat to accumulate around your waist and tummy, a health-threatening, figure-destroying condition affecting an estimated 47 million Americans… mostly women.
To decrease stress and stress related weight gain, you need to learn to manage your stress levels. Exercise, use meditation or have a quiet place to retreat to when you’re stressed out. Eating a diet that’s low in refined sugars or that have a low glycemic index helps decrease the stress of blood sugar fluctuations on our bodies. Eat meals at regular times each day (it’s best not to eat after 7pm). Drinking plenty of quality water during the day also helps decrease the fatigue commonly seen around mid-day and early afternoon.

Relora® helps control stress-related symptoms, such as: irritability; emotional ups and downs; restlessness; tense muscles; poor sleep; concentration difficulties. Post trial analysis revealed an excellent agreement with the pretrial concept. In addition, Relora® reduced stress-related snacking of sweets, such as ice cream, cake, pie, and cookies by 76% in those individuals that claimed they ate these types of foods under stress.
Clinical Trial
A double-blind placebo-controlled clinical trial with Relora® was completed in January 2004. The purpose of this study was to determine the effects of Relora® in overweight women who typically eat more in stressful situations. Twenty-eight subjects completed the study and Relora® was well tolerated. There was a significant weight gain during the study for the placebo group but no significant weight gain and some weight loss for the Relora® group. There was also a significant reduction in anxiety scores. The mechanism of action appears to be through reduction or normalization of stress hormone levels, and possibly perceived stress, thereby helping subjects maintain body weight.

Lack of Sleep can cause:
- Depression and Anxiety
- Delayed Reflexes
- Mental and Physical Exhaustion
- Slower metabolism
- Slow recovery from infections and diseases
- Depressed immune system
- Decreased attention span
- Irritability
Aside from these problems, a lack of sleep takes a toll on brain function. In a person who is sleep-deprived, one part of the brain shuts down. Because you are using only half your brain, the working half will work far harder to compensate. This is a method by which the brain tries to overcome sleep deprivation, but regardless of it, a person suffering from a lack of sleep performs far worse on mental tasks than someone well rested. In fact, studies performed in Australia have shown that sleep deprivation also affects behavior and can be as damaging as alcohol abuse!
Sleeping aid Melatrol has combined quality natural ingredients to combat your insomnia on a long term basis: compounds such as melatonin and gamma amino butyric acid are commonly found in healthy people, however many individuals do not produce enough of these compounds, and as a result experience trouble falling asleep and sleeping through the night.
Melatonin normally regulates your body’s perception of “night” and “day” and stimulates sleep when night falls. In people suffering from insomnia often do not produce enough of this compound. Stress and a hectic lifestyle can also cause lower levels of melatonin, as well as GABA (gamma amino butyric acid), both essential compounds to stimulate sleep.
One of the most important active ingredients from Melatrol is Melatonin. Melatonin is normally secreted during the night by all species that have been studied to date, including humans. It is normally synthesized from a compound in our bodies called Serotonin. Melatonin is a natural compound produced by the body to convey the message that it is night and the body should go to rest. As such melatonin has a sleep inducing effect on your brain. Adults that do not produce sufficient melatonin can have trouble falling asleep, as their body cannot tell the difference between day and night. Taking a supplement, such as Melatrol, containing natural melatonin will help your body strengthen your biological clock and restore your sleep cycle.
Another important ingredient is Valerian. It is a natural herb derived from the root of the valerian plant. It has been used for centuries to induce relaxation and sleep in a natural fashion. Studies have shown that valerian has a calming effect when a person is under stress. As many people experience sleeplessness when they are under stress valerians relaxing effect helps those individuals to fall asleep more readily.
