Oh man. My sister bought a box of Relacore (http://www.ultimatefatburner.com/relacore-review.html), marketed as a anti-stress herbal supplement that supposedly targets and prevents abdominal fat, I immediately looked at the "active" ingredients on the back. I guess I shouldn't have been really surprised. I informed her all of these ingredients are common vitamin combinations (with the possible exception of DHEA, which can affect testosterone levels), none of these even have a mild stimulant effect on the cns.
She got defensive, "What if it does work...".
She's adament about the possibility of a quick fix and a mood lift, or failing that, a helpful push, even when she got the message that it was 90% marketing and 10% substance (http://www.johnleemd.com/store/news_relacore.html) (cortisol levels). Oh well, $31 down the drain, my mood is set for tonight. This just affirms my opinion that it isn't possible to combat scams when a strong emotional need is present, and people look for inessential solutions outside of themselves. :boggled:
