Hello my MRC friends. I wanted to give you all a heads up that one of the side effects of Relacore is hair loss. I know many of us use Relacore as a replacement for Corti-trim because it's less expensive. I wasn't sure why my hair had started falling out by the handful. I went to a beautician and she began to ask me questions about supplements I've been taking or change of diet. She was telling me the only way my hair could look like this is if something had changed. I'm not stressed or anything like that but I did start taking Relacore.
I did some research on the internet about Relacore and to my dismay hair loss is a side effect. Obviously it effects everyone differently but please pay attention if your taking this supplement. I didn't have any bald patches but I did notice how thin my hair had gotten. I'm disgusted to say the least.
I sure hope it grows back quickly.
I just bought Relacore to start once I run out of Corti-trim, now I am nervous about starting it. Has anyone else had any experiences with Relacore, good or bad?
Thanks for the info. I took Relacore--at least a bottle's worth and didn't have this side effect....however we're all different. I didn't notice a difference in losing belly fat either though so I'm not taking Relacore or Cortitrim at this point.
I am and have been taking Corti trim since I started in August. I noticed about a month ago the massive loss of hair I am having .. I bought some Nioxin shampoo and conditioner and got a bottle of Biotin yesterday and see if it slows down any. I mentioned it at my WI today and the gal told me some of the clients had experienced hair loss while on this program. Thankfully I have enough hair for a couple of people but I can tell it is thinning some. At this point I don't know if it is a supplement or due to the extreme calorie deficet..

Thanks for the info Ronnie. I didn't think about the diet part. I stop taking the supplement but it's going to take sometime to get out of my system. I was told that if you are taking a supplement that causes hair loss you have to stop taking it, your hair loss will stop, and your hair will grow back. My hair is doing so much much better now. I'll never take that stuff again. Have you noticed an improvement since you started using Nioxin?

Not so much yet. I think it takes a while for it to help, but the conditoner makes my hair really soft. I have naturally curly hair that can be unruly and the Nioxin conditioner is great! I doubt if the Corti Trim is what is making my hair fall out, since I have been taking it for months now and the hair loss I just noticed so I think I will see what happens.

My doctor explained to me that anytime you make a drastic change in the way your are eating "bad/good", it can cause hair loss in some people.
I am not on this program but have experienced hairloss. Absolutely--the change in lifestyle regardless of supplements is a very common thing for women. I have seen it discussed many times here at 3FC.
Oh, how interesting. I am losing hair and I am just hating it. I have lots of natural curly hair, but it seems to be going away fast. I'm not taking any pills, so it must be the diet...which does not make me happy because I don't want to lose my hair...just lose weight. This is scaring the H out of me now.
Beware of Relacore
