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. |
