Overview



Stress is good for the body in a moderate amount. It’s natural and helps humans cope physically with potentially dangerous situations. But too much stress can do great harm. And when you’re dieting – though you may be losing weight – you may be doing more harm than good by putting your body through unnatural amounts of stress. Such strenuous dieting can actually lead to weight gain in the long run, which is obviously counteractive.

Relacore® wants to help dieters with this vicious cycle. Supposedly, the supplement will reduce stress and contribute to the reduction of fat – especially in the belly, where we all want to lose it most.

Ingredients at a Glance

For some inexplicable reason, Relacore’s® website doesn’t go to the trouble of divulging the product’s ingredients. In our view, this is a serious oversight on the manufacturer’s part. Other sites have attributed the following ingredients to Relacore®: Magnolia Bark, Passion Flower, Scutellaria, Niacinamide, Panax Ginseng, Pinellia, Pioria, Jujoba, Perillia, and Phosphotidylserine.

Ingredients in Focus

The following are of particular note:

Magnolia Bark Extract has been used in traditional Chinese medicine for some time. The extract is often used as an anti-stress and anti-anxiety treatment, but lately it has gained popularity through the possibility of a connection between these functions and the reduction of Cortisol, the body’s primary stress hormone. As Cortisol has been associated with obesity, diabetes, osteoporosis, memory problems, and suppressed immunity, Magnolia Bark Extract has become more useful.

Niacinamide is a water-soluble vitamin in the vitamin B group. It may function as an anti-inflammatory.

Panax Ginseng is a plant associated with eastern Asia, and it has been used traditionally as an adaptogen, aphrodisiac, and stimulant. These traditional uses remain controversial in light of more recent medical technologies. However, Ginseng is being tested and is thought to possibly have anticarcinogenic and antioxidant properties.

Positives

•    May reduce stress.

Negatives

•    Product website is unhelpful.

•    Does not stand out among other anti-stress diet pills.

Final Thoughts

Relacore® can claim all day long to be the number one anti-stress belly fat reducer. But in the end, there are too many other supplements just like it. We recommend eating well, exercising regularly, and taking a fat burner that will help to burn away excess belly fat. also look for a weight loss supplement that will aid in controling the appetite. Stress reduction is, of course, desirable, but it may be up to you, and not a bottle of pills.

When purchasing any weight loss product, it is important to do your research. Many people are exchanging their opinions about CreVax on DietBlogTalk.com

Overview

Some supplement manufacturers seem to get a charge out of promising dramatic weight loss results. Take CreVax for example. According to the product promotion, consumers can expect a weight loss rate of 35 pounds a month. That is quite a bit of weight to lose in a relatively short amount of time, and so we’re not exactly comfortable with CreVax’s claims.

But then again, this is the province of most fat burners. They promise dramatic results that can’t possibly be real. This is not to say that a good fat burner can’t help, when it supplements a prior healthy lifestyle that includes diet and exercise. But CreVax doesn’t promote such a lifestyle. Instead, the product website features photos of rail-thin starlets and other fluff as evidence that CreVax is the best thing to come along in a long while.

Ingredients at a Glance

CreVax contains Hoodia Gordonii, Green Tea, Gynostemma Pentaphyllum, Salvia Miltiorrhiza, Fructus Lycii, Peony Root, and Taurine.

Ingredients in Focus

The following are of note:

If you haven’t heard of Hoodia yet, you’re about to. This is the appetite suppressant of the new millennium, known for its ability to fool the brain into thinking the body is full. Hoodia seems to work if its the real thing – and it has no nasty side-effects. Note: Consumers must ;look for a Hoodia product which offers real authenticated Hoodia. Check for certification.

Green Tea is considered a great ingredient for boosting metabolism. However, its caffeine content might induce negative side effects in some, including nausea, insomnia, nervousness, elevated heart rate and increased blood pressure.

Gynostemma is known as the immortality herb in Traditional Chinese Medicine. As an adaptogen, ti is thought to restore balance to the bodies systems, including the cardiovascular, digestive, immune, nervous, and reproductive systems.

The remaining ingredients serve ambiguous functions and would be readily available in supplements that don’t rely on obnoxious advertising.

Positives

•    Doesn’t contain overly dangerous ingredients.

Negatives

•    Conventional and unconvincing.

•    Unhelpful website.

•    Excessive claims are unbelievable.

Final Thoughts

CreVax isn’t that impressive. We would recommend searching for a proven and reputable fat burner with an authenticated form of Hoodia. Combining such a supplement with a regular exercise routine and a balanced diet would contribute considerably to weight loss and a healthy lifestyle. CreVax, unfortunately, doesn’t seem to fit in with such living.

Gaya Well asked:


Pu-erh is a town in the Yunnan province of China. In former times, it was the centre of the tea trade for the region and so gave its name to Pu-erh tea. Pu-erh tea has a distinctive flavour and produces a reddish-brown brew, a little like the conventional black tea. But that is where the similarities end. It is thought that tea production dates back almost 2000 years in the Yunnan region and some very old trees (getting on for 2000 years of age) are known and still produce tea to this day.

The tea that most people drink, black tea, is fermented and has lost a lot of the original nutrients that are reported as being beneficial. So although it is most definitely better for one’s health than coffee, it is not as beneficial as teas that have been fermented less such as pu-erh, or in not at all such as green tea. In common with most teas, it contains antioxidants that can help your body combat disease, including cancers. It is an accepted herb in traditional Chinese medicine which is perhaps why it attracts so much attention now in the west as awareness of complementary medicine is increasing.

The health benefits of drinking pu-erh have been researched and evidence suggests that it is particularly effective in the reduction of cholesterol. The tea seems to attach itself to the cholesterol molecules and somehow seems to prevent the absorption of these. It that is true, then drinking this type of tea is a must for those with high cholesterol levels as it may reduce the quantity of cholesterol entering the bloodstream from the diet.

Pu-erh and Oolong teas are both reputed to aid weight loss. The theory is that it increases the metabolism and therefore burns off food faster. To be honest, a bit of exercise is probably better! Still, even if it only has a placebo effect then that is an important part of any weight loss programme. Whatever the truth in this, there is a big market in slimming teas – it is a bit like selling carrot as a slimming vegetable!! If they are drunk instead of higher calorie drinks, then again they could help, a tastier alternative to water on its own.

Traditionally, Pu-erh tea is compressed into a variety of blocks for easy storage. The reason for this tradition is that it improves with age. Like a good wine, it is a ‘living’ tea; it contains active microbes which subtly and slowly change the flavour. The trouble is, that long storage times can make it quite expensive, in fact some of the older varieties (between 30 and 50 years old) change hands for ridiculously high prices – perhaps it is worth buying some as an investment!! The more affordable less aged Pu-erh teas are still expensive by tea standards but are affordable. By the time it reaches 50, it starts to go downhill, so you seldom see any that is older than this.
