Reliv

Oh boy, another nutritional product!

That was me when I first heard about Reliv. But after only 2 minutes exploring their beautifully-done website and incredibly informative videos, I knew this was something special.

What is Reliv?

If you take a look at the lineup of products offered by Reliv, you won't understand the magic inside. You have to understand the science first, and then the products come alive with the amazing possibilities they have for changing your life.

This 25-year old company is doing a lot of things right- but I'm going to start with the basis for it all: the science behind their nutritional products.

The Reliv Products: Science

Your DNA makes up your genome. But there's also the “epigenome”. This is the part of your genetic code that changes depending on how you live your life

So, your life choices affect your epigenome…good lifestyle choices turn on your healthy genes and bad choices flip the switch for bad genes and serious health problems.

That means by making healthy choices in your life, you are altering your cellular structure in a positive way. Healthy epi-genetics can even be passed on to your kids.

Are you with me so far?

Here's where Reliv comes in: their products contain a nutritional ingredient that works at the epigenetic level, just as your healthy lifestyle choices do. It's called LunaRich®.

It's basically a superfood. What is does is acts on a naturally occurring compound in your body that controls your genes. It's called lunasin. It's a soy peptide that occurs naturally in the body.

“Lunasin is the first dietary ingredient identified to affect gene expression through an epigenetic mechanism of action.”

Dr. Alfredo Galvez, Nutritional Genomics, UC Davis

Dr. Alfredo Galvez is one of the scientist researchers on the Reliv team. In his words, lunasin binds to histones and allows cellular machinery to recognize that it's time to turn on a specific gene.

That means a nutritional product is talking to your genes!

Benefits include improved Immune response, reduced inflammation, and general cellular health.

Reliv: The Products

There are a lot of Reliv products but each and every one of them is based on the idea that you can't control the DNA you have, but you can control the genes through lifestyle choices. Categories include:

• weight management
• antiaging
• workout
• kids
• elderly
• energy
• heart health
• blood sugar
• digestive health

Now, for quality..

Reliv has been doing this for 25 years and they've got it down pat. Manufacturing standards exceed the strictest regulatory standards in the world. They also use the best ingredients based on the latest research.

There is a certificate of analysis for each ingredient. On top of that, all ingredients are independently verified by Reliv's own scientists. Then, quality assurance specialists triple check every batch. State of the art machinery ensures proper weight fills, product purity, labeling, can integrity, and seal strength.

After production, reliv scientists conduct complete microbiological nutritional composition testing…then and only then is the product released.

It's easy to see why their motto is “nutrition you can trust”.

Verdict

I don't know- maybe they're really onto something here. I'd never heard of epigenetics but it seems to make sense to me. A lot of sense, actually!

Management is more than sound and fully capable, having experienced continued growth for 25 years.

The science behind Reliv products is there, and the Reliv website makes a beautiful presentation of everything. I was really drawn in and that, combined with the fact that the compensation plan is fair, worthy, and doable, puts Reliv at the top of my list for business opportunities.
