The Effects of Relacore

The makers of Relacore at the Carter-Reed Company dub their pill "America's #1 Belly Fat Pill," a hefty claim in a weight loss market filled with a staggering number of options and promises. As of 2001, Carter-Reed had sold more than 12.7 million bottles of Relacore, promoting it as a supplement to diet and exercise rather than a cure-all. Like all weight loss pills, Relacore produces a range of positive and negative effects.

  1. Contents

    • According to the manufacturer, Relacore is a blend of all-natural ingredients. The pill contains magnolia bark, passion flower herbs, scutellaria root and panax ginseng alongside jujuba fruit and perilla leaf. Relacore also has pinellia, a tuber, and the fungus poria. Vitamin B3 compound niacinamide, hormone DHEA and phospholipid component phosphatidylserine -- which increases the rate of protein synthesis -- make up the rest of the pill's contents. Relacore's "feel-good" effects result from the pill's 555 percent daily value of Vitamin C, 333 percent value of thiamin, 412 percent value of riboflavin and 850 percent daily value of Vitamin B6.

    Positive Effects

    • Carter-Reed positions Relacore as a dietary "adjunct" or "add-on." It claims to cater to those currently losing weight on successful dietary and exercise routines but having problems with stubborn belly fat. The company claims that stress and anxiety cause belly fat retention. Relacore's makers tout the pill's stress reduction effects. As such, Carter-Reed claims that Relacore helps reduce belly bulge and create a flatter stomach. The company also claims that due to an "underscored association between stress, belly fat and accelerated aging" the pill works as an anti-aging agent.

    Side Effects

    • As of 2011, no formal studies have been conducted to determine the side effects of Relacore. The researchers at eMed TV theorize that some potential side effects can be gleaned from the pill's contents. Minor potential side effects could include belching, gas, constipation, drowsiness, heartburn, headaches or a flushed appearance. Major side effects of the pill could include vertigo, insomnia, vomiting or hypertension.

    Considerations

    • The makers of Relacore maintain that the drug is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any sort of disease. The Food and Drug Administration has not evaluated the claims made by Relacore's manufacturer. Those taking Relacore should not exceed three pills per day. Rashes, hives, breathing problems or skin itching or swelling may indicate an allergic reaction to Relacore.
