Reliv Order Information

The character and integrity this company shows is unlike any other I have seen.  If you're like me, you might be a little skeptical about "non-profit organizations" who claim to be sending your support money to their organization...where does the money really go?  Reliv holds their own organization accountable by posting how they manage their funds.  They give the public acces to their financial statements, annual reports, and even their TAX statements!  I don't know about you, but I feel alot more secure investing into a company that is so transparent about their finances!

Why Do I Need to Supplement?

Our bodies go through literally millions of chemical reactions to provide energy for us throughout the day.  From the production of hormones to regulate our hunger, thirst, and sleep cycles to the ability to breakdown food for muscle, bone and tissue repair/growth, our bodies are constantly working!  If one of our physiological systems does not get the adequate nutrition, they will begin to breakdown.  We see this when we get sick (flu, headaches, skin breakouts, nausea and other digestive issues).  The longer this continues, the more likely we will see more serious health issues develop: migraines, chronic fatigue, bruising, hair loss, hormonal imbalances, insomnia, inflammation in joints, osteoporosis, diabetes, prostate disorders...the list keeps on going, but I will not.
The point I am making is this: the food from our diet does not contain the nutrients, vitamins and minerals necessary to maintain health.  To keep up with the physical demands we place on our bodies, we must place a higher value on good nutrition.

Good nutrition used to be simple: follow the colorful food pyramid and you were golden!  However, due to changes in the way we grow crops, the foods we eat today are seriously deprived of basic nutrients.  Even our fruits and vegetables don't pack the same "punch" they used to.  This is due to our modern day diet which consists mostly of processed foods.  The grocery stores buy them because the food can last longer on the shelves without spoiling.  YOU buy them because they are cheap and easy to cook up.  I just went to my pantry and noticed my can of black beans doesn't expire...until June 2013!  How is that possible?  One word: preservatives.  Think of it like mummification of your food.  Preservatives are used to stop food from breaking down and spoiling so quickly.  Good for the grocery store who is trying to capitalize on their profit, bad for your stomach that is trying to figure out how to break it down!

The need becomes increasingly apparent that we must ADD to our current diet to ensure the we get the proper vitamins and minerals to prevent diseases and maintain health!  I believe that every health issue I listed in the first paragraph can be avoided by meeting your daily need of good nutrition.  Adding to our diet, or supplementing, does not have to be complicated, but I do encourage you as the consumer to research what supplements you are taking!  Be a supplement snob!  Be picky about what you are investing in.  Look for these key qualities:
* Supplements have been clinically tested for purity and potency.* Supplements have been proven effective and safe.* Ingredients are combined for maximum absorption.
 * Ingredients contain non-GMO soy.

Relìv International Named As Finalist In the American Business Awards

Relìv International is a finalist for a Stevie® Award for the Corporate Social Responsibility Program of the Year. In addition to providing free nutritional supplements to 42,000 malnourished individuals, mostly children, every day in 10 countries, the Relìv Kalogris Foundation has built and furnished three feeding centers for children in the Philippines and Haiti.

CHESTERFIELD, Mo., June 8, 2009 – Relìv International, Inc. (NASDAQ:RELV) was named a finalist for a 2009 American Business Award, known as a Stevie® Award. Relìv received a finalist nomination for the Corporate Social Responsibility Program of the Year award in recognition for the work of the Relìv Kalogris Foundation.

Since January 2008, the Relìv Kalogris Foundation has built and furnished three combination feeding centers and schools for malnourished children in the Philippines and Haiti. A fourth feeding center/school is scheduled to be dedicated in Haiti in early June.

“The Relìv Kalogris Foundation provides free nutritional supplements to more than 42,000 people, mostly children, every day,” said R. Scott Montgomery, chairman of the Relìv Foundation. “Last year, the foundation expanded its activities from supplying free nutritional supplements to include building feeding centers in parts of the world with the greatest need.”

Montgomery added, “The Relìv Foundation this year also started supplying free bio-sand water filters to its feeding programs in Haiti. Less than half the population in Haiti has potable water, according to the World Health Organization. The filters will allow the feeding centers to use clean water to make their 5,000 Relìv nutritional shakes a day as well as provide clean drinking water throughout the day.

“Relìv’s 68,000 independent distributors have donated funds to the foundation for the last 14 years, and we are particularly proud to see their generosity recognized by this Stevie Award finalist nomination,” Montgomery said.

The American Business Awards are the nation’s premier business awards program. All organizations operating in the U.S. are eligible to submit entries to the ABAs – public and private, for-profit and non-profit, large and small.

The winners will be announced on June 22 in New York. More than 2,600 entries from companies of all sizes and in virtually every industry were submitted for consideration in more than 40 categories. This year marks the seventh annual Stevie Awards.
