Reliv International Launches LunaRich |
Press Release | 1/18/2012 Biotech breakthrough produces soy powder with over five times key bioactive componentCHESTERFIELD, Mo., Jan. 17, 2012 -- Reliv International, Inc., and Soy Labs LLC today announced the creation of LunaRich(TM), an exclusive soy powder developed at the Missouri Plant Science Center (MPSC). Reliv is adding LunaRich to one of its nutritional supplements and will reveal that product at the Reliv National Conference in Reno, Nv., Feb. 17. "Biotechnology is vital to Missouri's economic future," said former U.S. Sen. Kit Bond. "Our vision for the Missouri Plant Science Center is to unite our state's scientists, farmers and private-sector job creators to spawn biotech innovation. The collaborative effort between Reliv and Soy Labs is helping us realize that vision by bringing cutting-edge biotech products to market." LunaRich is a whole soy powder containing five to ten times more lunasin than the industry standard. Lunasin is a peptide found naturally in soy that scientists have identified as the key to many of soy's documented health benefits. These include cholesterol management, heart health and weight loss, among others. LunaRich is the first product to come out of the joint biotechnology research and development partnership that Reliv, Soy Labs and the MPSC formed in August 2011. Learn how LunaRich helps control cholesterol production in the liver, the source of over 80% of the body's cholesterol. "A growing body of research shows that the lunasin peptide is one of the most important bioactive components of soy," said Dr. Alfredo Galvez, the MPSC's lead scientific advisor. "In creating LunaRich for Reliv, we have maximized lunasin levels in a soy powder." Dr. Galvez first discovered lunasin in 1996 during research at UC Berkley to improve the nutritional profile of soy protein. More than 40 peer-reviewed and published studies have documented lunasin's health benefits. Research by 21 institutions supported by 27 public and private funding sources has resulted in nine patents. The amount of lunasin in soybeans varies significantly based on seed, soil and environment. The MPSC refines specially selected soybeans grown exclusively for Reliv to maximize levels of lunasin in LunaRich. Learn how LunaRich's refinement process enables maximum lunasin absorption by the body. "This is a significant step forward for Reliv and for nutrition science. LunaRich is an extraordinary ingredient with solid clinical data behind it," said Dr. Carl W. Hastings, Reliv's chief scientific officer. "As scientists learn more about the mechanisms that make soy a nutritional superfood, Reliv is proud to lead the way in making the fruits of these discoveries available to all."

Reliv International Releases 24K Energy Shot |
Press Release | 2/8/2011 Reliv International Cracks Fatigue Cycle with Healthy Energy ShotReliv 24K delivers healthy energy and mental focus, relieves stress CHESTERFIELD, Mo., Feb. 7, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Consumers who are fighting the fatigue cycle -- physical fatigue, mental fog and stress -- now have a new means of breaking that cycle. Reliv 24K, a new nutritional supplement, is the first shot to provide healthy energy and greater mental focus while also reducing stress. Reliv International, Inc., a creator of nutritional supplements that promote optimal health, introduced the product last weekend in Atlanta. "Reliv 24K is the first product created specifically to address the entire fatigue cycle," said Dr. Carl W. Hastings, chief scientific officer and vice chairman of Reliv. "Physical fatigue and mental fog go hand-in-hand, and stress is a leading contributor to both. 24K addresses all three factors by boosting energy, enhancing mental focus and reducing stress," he said. Most energy shots on the market today rely on caffeine to provide a quick jolt. But those shots can cause jitters and an unhealthy spike in heart rate. Consumers of 24K won't face those issues. Rather than masking symptoms with stimulants, 24K's comprehensive formula provides the fuel for healthy, natural energy. The new product represents two important firsts for Reliv: 24K is Reliv's first bottled, ready-to-drink supplement and the company's first energy shot. The product's name comes from its 24 active ingredients, including omega-3 fatty acids, resveratrol, B vitamins and others that provide energy, mental clarity and stress relief. Hastings and his team of nutritional scientists at Reliv carefully selected ingredients to work together synergistically based on clinical research. The suggested one-ounce serving size contains only five calories and no caffeine. The product will be sold in the United States initially, but Reliv eventually plans to market it in international markets. Reliv introduced 24K at its U.S. national conference held in Atlanta Feb. 3-5. Independent Reliv distributors convened to attend training workshops designed to help them build their businesses, receive recognition and take part in motivational activities. The launch of 24K was the highlight of the conference. The new product comes in a 28-ounce plastic bottle, equal to a four-week supply at the suggested one-ounce serving size, and in double shot-sized, two-ounce bottles for on-the-go convenience. About Reliv Reliv International, Inc., based in Chesterfield, Mo., produces nutritional supplements that promote optimal nutrition along with premium skincare products. Reliv supplements address essential nutrition, weight loss, energy and performance enhancement, digestive health, women's health and anti-aging.

Reliv Urges Families to Record Family Health History |
Press Release | 11/11/2010 Reliv International Urges Families to Create a Family Health Portrait This ThanksgivingHoliday Gatherings Provide Opportunity to Record Family Health History CHESTERFIELD, MO, Nov 08, 2010 (MARKETWIRE via COMTEX) -- Every year since 2004, the Surgeon General has declared Thanksgiving to be National Family History Day -- a time for American families to gather, talk about and write down the health problems that seem to run in their family. This year, Reliv International, Inc. is urging Americans to make the Surgeon General's declaration a part of their holiday tradition by creating a Family Health Portrait. A Family Health Portrait traces the illnesses suffered by your parents, grandparents and other blood relatives. It can help your doctor predict the disorders for which you may be at risk so you can take the necessary action to keep yourself and your family healthy. The Web-based tool helps users organize family history information and then print it out for presentation to their family doctor. In addition, the tool helps users save their family history information to their own computer and even share family history information with other family members. "At Reliv, we believe that optimal nutrition is beneficial to everyone," said Dr. Carl Hastings, chief scientific officer of Reliv International. "Our products provide balanced nutrition for a healthier lifestyle and overall wellbeing. Learning about the specific health challenges you may face through building your Family Health Portrait is another way you may help ensure a longer, healthier future." Health care professionals have known for a long time that many health issues such as elevated blood sugar, obesity and high cholesterol can run in families. If one generation of a family has high blood sugar, it is not unusual for the next generation to have similarly high blood sugar. An up-to-date Family Health Portrait can be a powerful screening tool for your doctor, focusing medical attention first on the most likely areas of concern. "A lot of different things go into maintaining a healthy lifestyle," said Hastings. "Eating right, regular exercise, getting enough sleep. Creating a Family Health Portrait is another way to be proactive about your health, just as taking nutritional supplements can help ensure you are getting enough vitamins and nutrients for optimum health." In 2002, the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) began advising all adults to take multivitamins to help prevent such common chronic illnesses as cancer, heart disease and osteoporosis. "Most people do not consume an optimal amount of all vitamins by diet alone. It appears prudent for all adults to take vitamin supplements," according to the statement in JAMA. How are you staying healthy? Reliv invites you to share the steps you are taking to stay healthy on the Reliv Facebook fan page. And, follow Reliv on Twitter to learn the facts about how optimal nutrition can help you live a healthy, active lifestyle.

Reliv Announces New Partnership |
NPI Center | 4/24/2007 MINNEAPOLIS – April 24, 2007 – Humanetics Corporation & Reliv International recently announced their new partnership with the launch of the Slimplicity™ Weight Loss System, which includes 7-Keto® to increase metabolism and burn fat. The Slimplicity™ Weight Loss System includes Slimplicity™ Accelerator capsules, a combo product with appetite suppressant, fat burner/blocker and metabolism booster ingredients and Slimplicity™ Meal Replacement, a nutritionally balanced meal replacement shake.7-Keto (3-acetyl-7-oxo dehydroepiandrosterone) is a naturally occurring substance produced by the body in the adrenal glands and its production declines with age. It is a non-stimulant, thermogenic agent that is clinically proven to increase metabolism and promote healthy weight loss. 7-Keto works naturally with the body to enhance the activity of three thermogenic enzymes – Glycerol-3-phosphate dehydrogenase, Malic Enzyme & Fatty Acyl CoA Oxidase. The up-regulation of these three key fat burning, thermogenic enzymes results in a higher metabolic rate and clinical studies have shown that administration of 7-Keto increases metabolism by 5.4%, promotes weight loss without stimulants and produces 3 times more weight loss than diet & exercise alone. Two independently conducted clinical trials support the effectiveness of 7-Keto for weight loss. Both trials were double-blinded and placebo-controlled, and have been published in peer-reviewed journals. A recent study in the Annals of Internal Medicine reported that 90% of men and 70% of women will eventually become overweight. And globally, the World Health Organization predicts that by 2015, there will be more than 1.5 billion overweight consumers, incurring health costs beyond $117 billion per year in the US economy alone. “Weight loss and weight management continue to be a huge health concern and social issue for American consumers,” says Dr. Carl Hastings, Vice Chairman of the Board and Chief Scientific Officer, Reliv International. “In fact, Americans’ weight concerns are causing serious problems to the present and future health of this country and because of this, Reliv has made a commitment to developing high quality, scientifically-supported products that will effectively address this need. Our scientists have integrated the latest nutrition research into products that are scientifically advanced, nutritionally complete and synergistically balanced to optimize potency and effectiveness,” says Hastings. “And formulating with quality, scientifically-proven ingredients like 7-Keto only furthers our commitment to offering consumers the best products available.” “Reliv International is a strong partner for us and it’s exciting to work with a progressive company that can take 7-Keto in new directions,” says Scott Steil, VP of Sales & Marketing, Humanetics Corporation. “Working with companies like Reliv, that use solid science to drive their product development process, ultimately provides consumers with a safe, efficacious product that will help them achieve their goals. This gives Humanetics an excellent opportunity to showcase the metabolism-boosting, fat-burning properties of 7-Keto in a breakthrough formula like the Slimplicity Accelerator,” says Steil. |

Parents Can Set Hours - Income |
The Ledger | 7/10/2006 Part 2 of 2:I am looking for a work-athome opportunity that would be a successful side business to my regular teaching position. While I have attempted to do some research, many seem too good to be true. It's also very confusing to try to weed out the "scams." Is there advice from other work-at-home parents who have actually made a homebased business a successful one? TAKE IT FROM ME I was looking for a stable home-based business, too. I didn't want to invest my time and money into a company that would be out of business down the road. I wanted my own hours and to be able to have a good income. I found that in Arbonne Skin Care Products. My skin has never looked so good! Arbonne doesn't have mineral oil, animal by-products or dye and is a line of Swiss-formulated products. Building an Arbonne business is so exciting. I don't handle any products. The income is just awesome. See www. opportunities4u.myarbonne.com for more details. Linda Bruce in Bokchito, Okla. |
