Relacore Extra Review
Is It Safe and Effective?

Relacore Extra is a weight loss supplement designed to reduce overall body fat, with a particular focus on “stress-related belly bulge.”

It’s made by a company called CRC - The Carter-Reed Company who sell various dietary supplements, although their online presence is sparse. There is no official website for the company, so info is only available through each supplement’s site.

Based on online ratings, Relacore Extra is fairly popular. It’s got 3.9 / 5 stars on the Walmart website, 4.1 / 5 on Amazon, and 4.2 / 5 on Walgreens.

As we said earlier, stress mitigation isn’t an angle that’s used frequently by fat burners. The primary angle of the top four products that Amazon recommends for “weight loss supplement,” for example, are as follows:

Thiamin is also known as vitamin B1.

This vitamin is linked to reduced levels of stress when looking at specific measures like feelings of personal strain, confusion, and dejection [4].

Deficiencies in B1 are frequently found in people with obesity, suggesting that supplementation could play a role in not gaining weight [5].

3. Riboflavin

Riboflavin is also known as vitamin B2.

Vitamin B2 has no strong links with reducing stress or losing weight, but deficiencies are linked to various ill health effects, so it’s a good thing to supplement if you’re concerned you’re not getting enough.

There is a noted relationship between vitamin B6 and chronic stress. Prolonged stress depletes B6 levels, and, in turn, supplementing B6 is thought to contribute to stress reduction. [7].

In terms of weight loss, B6 contributes to energy-yielding metabolism and the reduction of fatigue. This means you'll have more energy to workout, and that your body will more efficiently metabolize glucose and fat for energy [8].

6. Folate

Folate is also known as vitamin B9.

This vitamin is thought to be involved in the neurochemical processes surrounding depression [9]. Research is ongoing to see whether this effect is definite.

Some studies have found that too much folate is linked to weight gain [10], so check that your total intake doesn’t surpass the RDA.

Biotin is also known as vitamin B7, vitamin B8, and vitamin H (don’t ask us why!)

A cause and effect relationship was found between this vitamin and “normal psychological function,” meaning that it contributes to stress reduction and maintenance of normal mood [12].

The vitamin is also linked to the maintenance of normal metabolism, which means it may help with losing weight.

9. Pantothenic acid

Pantothenic acid is also known as vitamin B5.

It is thought to contribute to your body’s adaptive stress response - helping to reduce the long-term impacts of stress [13, 14].

There is also a link between B5 and energy-yielding metabolism [14], whose weight loss implications we’ve discussed previously.

Zinc is linked to psychological benefits that are similar to magnesium [19], with supplementation thought to prevent depression and other negative symptoms.

Supplementation is also thought to help with losing weight and maintaining healthy weight levels [20].

13. Proprietary Blend

The blend contains passionflower powder, magnolia powder, Chinese skullcap powder, Asian ginseng extract, poria extract, jujube extract, perilla extract, and phosphatidylserine.

The list below shows the claimed effects for various ingredients in the blend [21, 22, 23, 24, 25].

Overall, the Relacore Extra ingredient list is quite comprehensive.

Many of the ingredients have demonstrable links with reducing stress and losing weight, although much of this is tenuous.

Some of the most effective weight loss ingredients we’re aware of (glucomannan, for example) is absent from the Relacore Extra formula, which is worth bearing in mind when choosing a weight loss supplement.
