Pure Encapsulations Relora | Hypoallergenic Supplement Promotes Healthy Cortisol and DHEA Production and Moderates Occasional Stress | 60 Capsules

Love this product.

I have been using this supplement for years. It works great to help me fall asleep.

My integrative MD told me to get the Pure Encapsulations brand of Relora to help with sleep. About a year later he said I could discontinue it as I was taking so many supplements and it was getting a little overwhelming. I stopped the Relora and my sleep went back to being shallow with me waking up several times during the night at the slightest noise or temperature disturbance. I started taking it again and my deep sleep returned. I've jettisoned a lot of other supplements that didn't appear to do anything (and which I didn't miss when I stopped taking them) but I won't give up this one again. I take it right before bed.

It's like a natural benzo.. it also seems to kill my appetite if that's your thing.

Relora is a necessary addition to every day for me. I am recovering from a stress related illness and need help dealing with residual anxiety. Relora helps with this better than any of the many other things I have tried. It reduces anxiety and the cortisol spike following sudden stress without sleepiness or other side effects. Pure Encapsulations is the only brand I buy now. It is consistently the same from bottle to bottle which I cannot say about other brands.

This has been really helpful in relieving my exhaustion from adrenal fatigue.

We pay more for this brand's products nearly as much for what's not in them as for what is. What is "food" starch, anyway?" A little vague. And corn is something that a lot of us avoid, for multiple reasons. I'll keep looking.

It definitely has active ingredients in it, I just didn't like it. I used it two nights in a row. Both times I had vivid dreams and I felt like I might have woken up more than usual in the first half of the night, though only briefly. I was definitely drowsy and it made me want to shut my eyes. I remember having to hold onto the wall to go pee in the middle of the night but I didn't think much of it. On the second day I went to the bathroom about 2 hours after waking up and I had to stick my hand out to the ground to avoid face-planting as I tried to wipe myself haha. I was kind of dizzy/ditsy at work too. It was worth a try, maybe for someone else it would be good. I was less excited about it being poorly described. What chemicals in the bark are giving that effect and what are they doing to your liver?
