NOW Relora 

Helps to alleviate symptoms associated with stress. Excessive stress is one of the most common conditions reported to health care practitioners and consumers are looking for natural self-care options with few side effects. Relora, popularized by the medical media, is a product in high demand for stress relief.

Relora is a clinically tested herbal formula containing extracts of Magnolia officinalis and Phellodendron amurense, two herbs that work synergistically to help control stress-related symptoms, including irritability, emotional swings, muscle tension, restlessness, poor concentration, and interrupted sleep, as well as stress-related cravings and overeating. Magnolia bark contains the active constituents magnolol, dihydroxydihdromagnolol, honokiol, and dihydrohonokiol. Magnolol seems to have central nervous system effects, antiplatelet effects, anti-inflammatory effects, and smooth muscle relaxant effects. Magnolia bark is an ingredient in the traditional Chinese and Japanese (Kampo) medicines Hange-koboku-to, which is composed of 5 plant extracts, and Saiboku-to, which is composed of 10 plant extracts. These are used to decrease anxiety and nervous tension and to improve sleep. Honokiol, a constituent of magnolia bark, appears to cause these effects. Phellodendron contains berberine, palmitine, and phellodendrine, and other alkaloids. Berberine has anti-inflammatory, antiproliferative, antisecretory, fungicidal, antimycotic, antileishmanial, and cardiovascular effects. Relora appears to work by binding to stress receptors in the nervous system to promote relaxation and feelings of well-being, while ignoring receptors that would cause sedation. It has been shown to be useful in modulating anxiety states.
