I'm taking Relora, which does the same thing as Relacore but minus that DHEA (and also quite a bit cheaper). Before I started taking it, I had my naturopath do an extensive hormone profile, and that's where we found that my cortisol was through the roof. The Relora and Seriphos I am taking have really helped my energy level, I felt awful before. Plus I have lost a couple of inches from my belly, but I've been exercising as well.
