Cortislim

Does Cortislim Work?

Hmmm…Not really. According to consumer reviews, it is a below average weight loss supplement. Let’s take a closer look at Cortislim and find out if there’s truth to consumers’ claims.

What is Cortislim?

Cortislim takes an interesting approach to weight loss.  They claim that when your body gets stressed, you tend to gain weight.  If you can reduce the stress, then you can reduce the amount of weight you gain and actually lose weight.  This is not the first pill to claim weight loss through stress reduction.  Some consumers claim that it is effective and others claim that it was a waste of money and time.  We have found various testimonials and only half claim to have experienced ANY success and most state that the results weren’t significant enough to continue using the product.

How Does Cortislim Work?

It contains key ingredients that calm the body’s response to stress which decreases the level of cortisol (thus the name Cortislim) in the body.   Lowered levels of cortisol are said to then decrease body fat.  When cortisol levels reach too high, it is hard for the body to reach homeostasis which can be very damaging to the body.  One of the side effects of increased cortisol is weight gain.

So What’s Cortislim’s Problem?

The company has a very questionable reputation that makes it harder to recommend.  The FTC has cracked down on them for making outrageous and unsubstantiated claims about weight loss results from Cortislim usage.  They have too many false claims and have not proven to be trustworthy.  We recommend companies that are reputable where you can rest assured that your money is in good hands.

Cortislim For Weight Loss

The amount of weight lost is another problem.  People claim to feel a little stress relief with the product; however, they are generally disappointed with the small results they see physically.  Maybe Cortislim should be marketed better as a mood enhancer/stress reliever than a weight loss pill.

Cortislim Pros

  • Relieves stress
  • Some users have experience weight loss

Cortislim Cons

  • Unsubstantiated claims
  • Expensive
  • FTC Crackdown
  • No proven fat burners, appetite suppressants

Cortislim Conclusion

Due to lack of research, unsubstantiated claims and poor consumer reviews, I must not recommend Cortislim for weight loss.

#2 Phenphedrine

  • Gives users an "Herbal" feeling: "Natural High"
  • Helps Appetite Suppression
  • Stimulates overall feeling of well being.

Phenphedrine will without a doubt provide users the QUICKEST weight loss results. It's the only product we reviewed that surpassed the weight loss results of the now banned Fen-Phen in Weight Loss Speed and scored a 100% in this category. There have been reports that Phenphedrine's "Controversial" formula contains trace amounts of the prescription drugs Phentermine (a centrally acting stimulant chemically related to amphetamines which halts the hunger sensation in the brain commonly sold under the names Fastin and Adipex) and Prescribed Pain Relievers. Our thorough research into Phenphedrine has not produced any evidence of these ingredients and we believe these rumors to be false.

Phenphedrine does however give users a feeling of a "Happy" sensation which helps suppress ones appetite and overall feeling of well-being. This euphoric feeling is most likely caused by a herbal combination of intense stimulants that stimulate what is known in the scientific community as C-A-R-T and Humulus Lupus (one of only two plants in the family Cannabinaceaea... the other being Marijuana) which inhibits NPY. Concerns that Phenphedrine may be soon taken off the market like Fen-Phen may make finding bottles in the U.S., Canada, and United Kingdom difficult. Phenphedrine is definitely the diet pill of choice for those seeking extraordinary RAPID results. Its results Super Exceed its price tag.

#3 Ephedrasil Hardcore

Ephedrasil Hardcore was not made for the average dieter looking to shed a few pounds of fat. It was made for those looking to lose AT LEAST 25 pounds. Yes, this is one HARDCORE weight loss pill.

To clear the rumors, Ephedrasil doesn't contain ephedra or ephedrine alkaloids. And it doesn't contain any other banned substances. It contains pharmaceutical-grade, potent fat burners and appetite suppressants, all of which are legal (currently) in the US.

At $79, Ephedrasil Harcore is pricey, but you get from you pay for. With a 98.4% success rate (according to EH) there isn't much risk in giving it a try. They even offer a 90 Day money back guarantee guarantee.

I feel like an idiot buying into Cortislim’s claims but I really didn’t notice any real difference from my pre-Cortislim life. Don’t buy Cortislim!

I have problems with anxiety and therefore i didn’t want to try any pills that are high on stimulants. I bought three bottles of cortislim and after the first month I had only lost 2 pounds. I am on the third bottle and have lost only 4 lbs. I haven’t had any side effects however.

WASTE OF MONEY!!!!!!!

Pam Dredge July 8, 2008 at 7:22 pm

Does anyone know how to get your money back?

Keith L. July 10, 2008 at 12:02 pm

Cortislim and Hydroxycut are the only fat burners I have ever taken and neither one has worked. I am going to try one more and if it doesn’t work I am done. Any suggestions?

Anonymous July 13, 2008 at 8:04 am

I’ve been taking Coritislim for three days and I’ll let you guys know my progress.

I’VE ALREADY CONTACTED THE BETTER BUSINESS BUREAU ABOUT CORTISLIM. BIGGEST SCAM ON THE MARKET, DIDN’T LOSE ONE POUND!!!

Anonymous July 16, 2008 at 2:24 pm

I don’t know why everyone is hating on Cortislim. I liked it. I lost over five pounds.

Pissed Off July 17, 2008 at 7:16 pm

Yeah, this pill sucks!!!! Don’t waste your money.

Wendy Johnston July 25, 2008 at 9:57 pm

I have yet to see any worthwhile results. I feel like I have wasted my money.

Ashley August 2, 2008 at 7:40 am

I have started to take cortislim early in July. I combined it with a 1h45mn of walk session from Monday through Friday. The results are already visible. I have not lost a significant amount of weight, but I feel that I am getting more comfortable in my clothes and that I can wear clothes that I could not wear a month ago.

D August 4, 2008 at 6:46 pm

I took CortiSlim for one month and absolutely loved it! I lost a ton of inces off of my stomach and mid section, as well as all over. I was very very impressed! Everybody noticed a huge difference in my body shape. I am not sure where all the negative results are coming from, but we are all different. It works wonder for me :)

Tonya September 3, 2008 at 12:12 pm

I just started taking Cortislim Burn yesterday. I have seen an increase in energy and I am not as hungry. I have started walking at least 30 minutes a day. I will let you know next Monday how I have done.

APRIL September 10, 2008 at 10:08 am

TOOK 2 BOTTLES OF CORTISLIM AS WELL AS CUT OUT SWEETS. LOST NOTHING, BUT GAINED NOTHING EITHER.

olphia October 7, 2008 at 12:38 pm

i started talking cortislim a few weeks ago and i can now wear pants i could not wear last month by 3 inches it does work and i dont even take it every day..

M October 29, 2008 at 11:34 am

I took cortislim for three months last year and lost almost 30lbs. I think the claims were a little ridiculous myself, but I’m living proof it can work. Perhaps for some, stress & depression are a major factor in weight loss/gain. I know I felt much better overall, cravings vanished, and I could finally decide when I was full instead of my body telling me I was still hungry. It was an excellent alternative to prescription antidepressants.

Anonymous November 10, 2008 at 10:04 pm

cortisilm does work, but you cant sit around and not excerise. walking is the best. or even a cadio work out. i work for a gym and i see the difference in myself.. i had lost 40 pds in 8 weeks period. i also notice i am less stress out and feel more energy than i did ever had.

Karebear November 20, 2008 at 2:24 pm

I found that cortislim helped someone like me. It seemed to help the side effect of wt gain from prednisone, and my weight did go down. Appetite was not a issue for me, so I have no idea if it would work a appetite suppressant.However I now cannot find it on the store shelves

Fabulous for Stress!! November 25, 2008 at 8:18 am

I buy this to help me with stress…not dieting. There is no prescription that has helped me more than Cortislim and I have tried them all. It really doesn’t help you lost weight, but I couldn’t live without it for stress. I have an anxiety disorder and it will wipe out an attack in 10 mins.

Louise November 29, 2008 at 11:29 pm

Where can I buy Cortislim?
None are available on their website..???

Thanks!

KIM December 2, 2008 at 2:05 pm

I also combined Cortislim with a workout plan and sensible meal plan. I lost inches almost immediately and a total of 40 pounds in 12 weeks. And it really does relieve stress. I am really disappointed that I can not find it in the stores anywhere, but will continue looking.

John December 4, 2008 at 5:43 pm

I used Cortislim for eight months or so back in 2004. It helped with two distinctly different but perhaps related circumstances – depression and weight gain. I lost 50 pounds in six months, but I also exercised hard for about an hour daily, so how much was the Cortislim v. exercise I cannot definitively state. I did become less depressed while using the products as well. But was that from the endorphins released during exercise?

I’m only on this forum because I have gained a bunch of the weight back and figured what the heck! I actually got on line to look for it and I ran into this site while hunting it down. I’m going to combine some Cortislim with some personal discipline and get rid of the weight again. I’m going to use it again, because somewhere in the mix I utilized before, I got results.

Eating weight-loss pills and not exercising is no way to lose weight anyway. If we had self-discipline in this regard, we wouldn’t be discussing this matter anyway. I’m guilty, just like everyone else. There is no magic alone in the bottle, it is found within us first.

glam December 8, 2008 at 5:31 am

where can you buy cortislm

glam December 8, 2008 at 5:34 am

where can you buy cortislim ,i lost 50 pounds three yrs ago it works it kills all the caravings please let me know where i can buy cortisilm

charis December 15, 2008 at 11:26 pm

I took cortislim back in february 2004 it did help with stress however i was just sitting around and was dissappointed cause i didnt lose a pound, then in march 2004, i started working receiving for lowes at night and i wore my too tight size 16 pants, by the end of that week, i remember my pants falling off me and i lost 13lbs , so yes you have to be active so it can work and i believe its the safest to use then the other fat burners. I am going to start taking it again next week, i stop taking it when i was pregnant later that year.

esther December 30, 2008 at 10:07 am

I dont know why they took cortislim out of the market, It worked for me. It give me energy and i see the difference on my stomach, I been around trying to find where i could buy this pill but no luck. THEY NEED TO PUT IT BACK IN THE MARKET.

CANDYLAND January 16, 2009 at 4:20 pm

I have found some, I havent gotten them in the mail yet, I cant wait. I will write with results

babybelly January 18, 2009 at 11:54 pm

There is a new stress reliever weight loss drug, that I’m going to try out: Relacore. I started taking it to get rid of a few extra pounds, but found it did something even better. I used to get tension headaches everyday due to stress. When I started taking it they stopped. So now I’m going to try Relacore, since they took Cortislim off the market.

Siggi January 19, 2009 at 4:25 pm

I’ve bought Cortislim Burn at K-Mart on Jan. 17.09 Started
taking it the next day. 2 tablets at 1 pm. I went to bed
that night and had a hard time falling asleep, didn’t sleep well either. I am taking 1 tablet in the morning
and one with lunch today. Hopefully that will not stimulate me as much and I’ll be able to sleep better. I
guess otherwise I haven’t notice any other side effects yet.

karen January 24, 2009 at 11:19 am

Weight Loss – who cares – wonderful on stress relief and fluid retention for me. Even people I work with could tell a difference in my attitude- very stressful job. I’ve been taking it for several years.

ELAINE February 1, 2009 at 1:42 am

Where can I buy Cortislim? It’s the only one that works for me. Thanks.

charis February 7, 2009 at 7:25 pm

Hey guys, i recently wrote on here December 15 2008.
Results:
I did find a bottle and used it, i just recently ran out but i lost 7lbs and mostly around my mid section within 1 month, I have a very active job so that helps and the stress relief is excellent, also provides some energy.
I went back to the store today to get more and they dont sell it anymore and i am upset that is crazy so now Im out of luck. I brought relacore and pray that it works the same, but if i see cortislim in a store i would stop taking relacore in a heart beat. So tomorrow I wll try relacore. If anyone knows where i can buy some in nyc please post the place and addy, thanks.

I started taking Cortislim a week ago. I started taking it so I would not gain weight while I quit smoking.
I haven’t gained any and haven’t lost any weight but the stress relief has helped me quit.I don’t think I
could have stuck with it without Cortislim.

nancy on MARCH 07 2009 AT 8;41 PM March 7, 2009 at 10:44 pm

I BOUGHT CORT SLIM FROM A HEALTH FOOD STORE, I TRIED WHEN I WAS A METABLIC DIET AND LOST WEIGHT AROUND MY STOMACH.

Lisa March 13, 2009 at 4:38 am

I cant find it and have searched, Every time i take it the weight falls off, I love it. I lost 40 lbs last summer taking cortislim, my problem is I cant find it anymore. I’ve been searching everywhere the stores where i used to buy it dont carry it anymore. I’d reccommend it to anyone who is over 30 and has alot of stress in their life.

Laura April 9, 2009 at 11:52 am

I lost 50 pounds 5 years ago. Love Cortislim! It is the only thing to work for me! Guess I’ll have to order it since I can not find in stores anymore!

md April 20, 2009 at 10:17 am

I took Cortislim for 3 months with a semi intense workout and lost 30lbs. It didnot bother my highblood pressure or give me headaches which most of these products usually do.

Jean April 26, 2009 at 12:54 am

I worked in a high stress job and had to sit a lot. Took CortiSlim and lost weight all over, but especially in my lower body. One of my colleagues told me I was looking good. The cortisol blocker portion of the pill worked for me. I recommend it only to those who work in a stressful occupation or stressful relationship. That is what it was designed for.

40something male May 8, 2009 at 5:23 pm

Weightloss insignificant, stress relief on the other hand, dramatic. Works great for mood and stress related issues, without amping me up and wiping me out from adrenal exhaustion. Cortislim burn has too much caffeine like ingredients, so I’m a believer in it for Stress Relief. If they would remarket it as purely a Stress Reducing product, they could gain a better consumer base and restore customer faith. Seeing the postings here, it’s clearly more effective for one than the other…

MusicTeacher August 1, 2009 at 12:23 pm

I noticed the stress difference the most. Only after I couldn’t find it did I notice the weight distribution difference. I have had an alarming increase in girth. I have been exercising and have lost inches everywhere else but my torso. I am so glad I found a place to order again. I did order $40 worth 2 years ago online and never received it? Is there a way to find out about that? My family, friends and students will be glad I found this website again.

sunny April 20, 2010 at 10:03 am

I noticed stomach/torso benefited most whenever taken. I used it when my stomach seemed bloated for overnight supplemental health. Very good stomach reduction. Am seeking address of music teacher where ordered product. Maintenance and control seems to work with CortiSlim. Stress Reduction and CortiSlim works.
