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.
