I own a health and nutrition business and have taught fitness. Here is the long answer to your question.When I was first told about Reliv, I was very concerned that it might be a scam and spent three months researching it before I would let my friend talk to me about it, as I was afraid he might be getting himself into something where he might get hurt. Here is what I found.Reliv is a nutritional supplement which the body interprets as food - what they call optimal nutrition. It is in a powder form, but taken as a liquid, and 98% of it is absorbed directly into the bloodstream within just a few minutes minutes of ingestion when taken correctly. This company holds, I believe, 5 or 6 United States patents on their products, of the 13 that the US patent office has issued on food products in their entire history for all companies combined. Basically, the FDA says that in food supplements, only 30% of what they say on the bottle is in the product actually has to be in the product when sold, and of that, usually only 30% or less is actually absorbed into the body. With a US patent on the product however, that means that 100% of what they say is in the product actually has to be in the product - and you have the added benefit of 98% of that being delivered to the bloodstream within a very short period of time. Additionally, to have that patent, they have to prove that what they have is different and unique from anything else on the market, and they have to prove that it works - although the company itself makes no health claims, because the body is the miracle, and when you deliver optimal nutrition to the body, the body knows itself what to do with that nutrition.Because of the way it has been developed, with a perfect balance, bioavailability and synergy, and because the body recognizes it as food, and not just as a salad of vitmins that someone put together, (or a juice ) it has a much better chance of giving the body it s best chance at optimal health. I am not trying to make health claims here - and the company makes no health claims - but when you put the right things into the body, the body knows what to do with it!The Reliv company - a food science company - is a 21 year old company with an excellent business reputation, and which has never had a lawsuit. They produce high quality products, are listed on the NASDAQ, and have been recognized by major publications such as Fortune, Forbes, Business Week and Success From Home as one of the top 100 best run businesses, and one of the top 100 hot growth companies. They are sold in 15 countries.I have taken this supplement for a while now with excellent results. Debilitating carpal tunnel and painful joint issues in my left hand have completely disappeared; my husband, who thought he was going to have ANOTHER surgery in his shoulder instead avoided having to have it and is now pain free; my 85 year old mother in law, who had severe arthritis in her hands, is also pain free, her cholesterol has come down 64 points in since November 2007 and she has lost 45 pounds. My son uses this product for his athletic training and has reported increased energy and stamina.Interestingly enough, while vitamin supplements - even your children s Flinstone vitamins - all have health warnings on them, Reliv products are so safe that they carry no health warnings, are given even to babies in their bottles and in feeding tubes for people in the hospital with no adverse effects. There is nothing I have seen safer nor more easily assimilated into our bodies than these products.I ve been trying various supplements for over 35 years, and have never seen anything that has given us the life changing results that these supplements have. If someone is talking to you about them, I hope you will give them your ear and let them connect you to some people who can share their testimonies with you. You are looking at weight loss.There are hundreds of people who have lost weight on these products, and whomever is talking to you about these products can connect you to many of them to get real life - not just an internet testimony - as well as some personal consultation on how they used these products to achieve that success. There is an incredible weight loss support system within Reliv for those willing to utilize it. Doing so, by the way, is the best way you can investigate Reliv, because you are talking to real people, not just some recording or something written on a website, and so you can hear real experiences and ask questions directly from them.We have been delighted with what these products have done for us and never want to be off them!
yes it works!!!!!!!!
