Relora® 250mg is a unique blend containing two patentpending herbal extracts, specifically designed to support normal, healthy cortisol levels during stress and anxiety.
Cortisol, a hormone produced in the adrenal glands, plays an important role in the body’s regulation of cardiovascular function and fat, protein and carbohydrate utilization. When the body experiences stress, cortisol secretion increases, thus causing a breakdown of muscle protein and the release of amino acids to form glucose via gluconeogenesis. The resulting higher level of glucose is the body, combined with the decreased use of glucose by other tissues in the body, ensures that the brain is receiving adequate energy.
Continuing research indicates that stress and anxiety can have a significant impact on the body’s health and wellbeing. While cortisol secretion is an important part of the body’s response to stress, the prolonged secretion of cortisol can have detrimental effects to the proper functioning of the body’s cardiovascular, immune, neurological and metabolic systems.

250mg is a patent-pending combination of two herbal extracts of Magnolia and Phellodendron bark (Asian cork tree). Both herbs have been used in traditional Chinese medicine for several hundred years. In a human study, 82% of the participants taking Relora found that Relora helped to control irritability, emotional ups and downs, restlessness, tense muscles, poor sleep, fatigue and concentration difficulties. Relora was found not to cause sedation, though 74% of the patients had more restful sleep.
Additionally, no adverse side effects were reported during the trial. Relora was also studied for its effect on salivary levels of DHEA. Two weeks of Relora therapy were shown to increase salivary DHEA for 227%, and decrease total salivary cortisol by 37%.
Both hormones were brought into normal range through the utilization of Relora. Studies have also shown that Relora helps reduce stress-related eating, and therefore may be an essential
