Relora
Relora seeks to attain weight loss through the elimination of stress, which in many people has the effect of an increase in appetite. This is accomplished by decreasing the typically high cortisol levels associated with stress. As a result, this boosts the body's ability to deal with stress without stimulating the appetite. Additionally, Relora increases the body's DHEA levels (anti-aging hormone) contributing to a feeling of well-being. The manufacturer claims that "With Relora you can reduce your stress and elevate your mood."
