Relora-Plex 60 Capsules

Weight Management Support

Relora-Plex, provided by Douglas Laboratories, is a

unique blend containing two patent-pending herbal

extracts, specifically designed to support normal

mental functioning 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 in 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.

Relora® 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®

agreed with the statement that: “Relora® helps

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. A second human trial studied

the effects of Relora® on salivary

dehydroepistandrosterone (DHEA) and cortisol levels in

patients with mild to moderate stress. The effects of

stress on the body are sometimes associated with lower

levels of DHEA and higher levels of cortisol. Two

weeks of Relora® increased salivary DHEA by 227%

and decreased total salivary cortisol by 37%. Both hormones were brought into the normal range.

Relora-Plex may be a useful dietary supplement for

individuals wishing to support normal mental

functioning with a unique herbal blend.
