The personal testimonials shared relect individual experiences oIndependent Reliv Distributors and are not necessarily typical o the results you may obtain.Reliv products are not intended to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any disease.

    As with any independent business, success as a Reliv Distributor requires a signiicantamount o hard work and dedication. The individuals eatured in this material oer aglimpse into the liestyle and economic beneits they are enjoying through the Reliv oppor-tunity as a result o their own skills and personal eort. These stories are examples only andare not intended as averages or guarantees.

    At our National Conerence in Reno in February, the quote rom

    stage that generated the most applause came rom Ryan Schmidt,

    CEO o Soy Labs and our LunaRich partner: The key to bringing

    back the economy isnt creating more jobs its creating more

    entrepreneurs.

    Im not surprised. Reliv Distributors understand the value o

    owning their own businesses. They realize that the jobs shed over

    the past ew years arent coming back, and the jobs now being cre-

    ated require skill sets most people dont possess. Companies either

    dont have the capital or are unwilling to invest in new hires to

    make up the skills gap. So millions o jobs remain unilled despite

    millions more people looking or work.

    There is an answer: direct selling. Direct selling oers real income

    opportunities at a low start-up cost. Training happens on the

    job you learn as your business grows. Success comes down to

    getting out and talking to people. As Reliv Senior Vice President o

    Distributor Success Don Gibbons likes to say, Youve been train-

    ing to be a Reliv Distributor your whole lie. I you have the

    drive and determination to succeed, you will.

    And right now, I dont know o a better direct selling opportu-

    nity than Reliv. Were a relatively unknown commodity, so the

    market is wide open. We manuacture the worlds best nutri-

    tional supplements, so the products and success stories behind

    them speak or themselves. We have a proven business model

    with a successul track record more than two decades long. And

    we recently launched LunaRich, a nutrition science break-

    through available nowhere else.

    I youve been waiting to get serious about your Reliv business

    its go time!

    Extraordinary People

    I met Iva Presberry at a Reliv meeting in Jeerson City, MO. Iva is a special person.

    She does missionary work in Haiti, a cause near and dear to us at Reliv. She is alsobuilding a part-time Reliv business that allows her to stay healthy and do what sheloves helping others. We have such extraordinary people in Reliv. Every time I get a

    chance to meet someone like Iva, Im humbled but proud to know that, together, weare changing lives.

    Getting a Head Start

    I was on a light home rom our National Conerence in Reno with Reliv Ambassador

    Rick Cobb. He was ired-up and eager to spread the excitement with the Reliv gangback home in Columbia, MO. I asked how I could help and got an invite to join thenext meeting. Perect! My daughter, Laura, is a sophomore at the University o Missouri

    in Columbia.

    I spent the day with my daughter and her riends, college kids with big dreams. I got a

    double dose o hope-illed energy that night whenJoe Cobb, Ricks son, and his threeriends sat in the ront row at the Reliv meeting. Seeing young olks looking to take

    control o their lives and build residual income at such an early age is inspiring. What alie they can create or themselves by starting now. This is your shot, Joe!

    Reliv executives are traveling around the country this spring to tell the Reliv

    story. What they are inding is the Reliv story told back to them through

    inspiring accounts o better health, changed lives and renewed hope.

    Making Their Own Luck

    According to Seneca, Luck is what happens when preparation meets opportunity. I

    guess thats why Presidential Silver Ambassadors Rita and Jaime Montenegro areso darn lucky. They illed a bus with 50 excited Distributors (preparation) and droveto National Conerence in Reno (opportunity). They inished ith in the nation that

    month and earned a $2,250 bonus. How lucky!

    Along or the Ride

    Yesenia Zermeno (pictured right)was one o the people on that bus. Knowing no

    one and trusting only the recommendation o a riend, she jumped on board. Theexcitement o conerence and the personal connections she made inspired her.

    She decided to move up to Relivs highest proit level. Now she and her husband,Moises, are building a new uture together.

    Biggest Little City in the WorldUS Hispanic Sales Director Javier Ramrez

    Positively Proactive

    I traveled to Minneapolis in January or a standing-room-only special event.

    Distributors here are uniied around a common goal: building big business togeth-er. New Reliv Master Directors Chris and Karin Ederer are among those leadingthe charge. For them its all about getting people to think proactively and make

    positive change happen.

    Chris is a middle school math and science teacher and Karin is a judge or USA

    gymnastics. Thanks to Reliv, their kids wont be leaving college saddled with massivedebt. They also can enjoy their time together as a amily and take vacations when they

    please. Heres hoping they take that next step to Ambassador and can enjoy a vacationon us our 2012 Leadership Celebration trip to Ban, Canada!

    Changing the Landscape

    Phoenix is ired up! And no ones more excited than Presidential Bronze Ambassador

    Teresa Long. Teresa is an herbalist with 30+ years in nutrition. Last year a riend told

    her to look into lunasin, the nutritional magic in soy. She was blown away by what sheound study ater study showing lunasins beneits.

    Then in August Reliv teamed up with the Missouri Plant Science Center and thediscoverer o lunasin, Dr. Fred Galvez (see interview on page 10). Next came the

    announcement o a new Reliv product with elevated lunasin levels. The results shesgetting with that product, Reliv Now with LunaRich, ar exceed the beneits shedbeen seeing beore. She told me that what Reliv has embarked on with the MPSC

    is going to change the landscape o the nutrition industry and I think shes right.

    Q: How are seeds selected or use in LunaRich?

    The LunaRich germ plasm soybean screening is conduct-

    ed at the National Center for Soybean Biotechnology(NCSB), located in the Bond Life Sciences Center onthe University of Missouri campus. Dr. Henry Nguyenand his staff have created a database of the traits of thou-sands of varieties of soybeans. Only those seed varietiesthat have the highest concentration of lunasin, the natu-rally occurring peptide behind many of soys remarkablehealth benefits, are selected for use in LunaRich.

    These specific varieties are continually being enhancedthrough natural plant breeding, so each successive seedharvest yields even higher lunasin levels. That meansthat all soybeans used in LunaRich are non-GMO, of

    the absolute highest quality and only getting better!

    Q: How does LunaRich compare to otherapproaches to cholesterol management?

    Cholesterol management starts with proper diet andexercise. And LunaRich can play a significant role inthat, by delivering elevated amounts of bioactive lunasinthrough Reliv shakes.

    Lunasin works at an earlier stage in the cholesterolproduction process than prescription statins. Lunasin

    reduces without entirely stopping the expressionof the HMG-CoA Reductase gene, whereas statin drugswork by blocking the HMG-CoA Reductase enzymeafter it has been produced. Statin drugs can oftentimesbe too efficient and block too much of the HMG-CoA enzyme. As a result, serious side effects can occur

    because some cholesterol is required by the body forcertain necessary cellular functions, such as maintainingcell membrane integrity and hormone production.

    Some people do require statins to maintain goodhealth, however, and it is important to consult yourphysician before starting or altering any cholesterolmanagement program.

    Q: How is LunaRich able to deliver 5-10 times asmuch lunasin as ordinary soy powders?

    There are a number of factors that contribute to thebioavailable lunasin content of LunaRich. As previouslymentioned, we begin with the germ plasm screening

    to select only those varieties of soybeans that naturallycontain the highest lunasin content. The manufacturingtechnology used to produce LunaRich is also critical.This proprietary process does not use any harsh chemi-cals that could destroy or wash away the peptide. Manysoy powders are manufactured through a chemicalextraction method; however, LunaRich is manufacturedusing only mechanical extraction to separate the varioussoy components.

    Q: How does LunaRich make lunasin moleculesmore bioavailable?

    Once we identified that a protective shell of proteaseinhibitors was necessary to deliver the bioavailablelunasin content, we refined the manufacturing pro-cess to assure the integrity of the protease inhibitors ismaintained throughout. At the Missouri Plant ScienceCenter, we have total control over the manufacturing

    LunaRich, Relivs breakthrough soy powder, exploded onto the nutrition

    scene in February and continues to generate excitement across the country.

    Consumers are seeing real results in their health, and Distributors are seeing

    real growth in their businesses. We sat down with Dr. Alfredo Galvez, the

    scientist behind LunaRich, to learn what makes this Reliv-exclusive ingredient

    such a nutritional powerhouse.

    The Science of LunaRich

    process and therefore can be certain that thelunasin in LunaRich comes in a form that canbe readily absorbed by the body.

    Q: In addition to cholesterol manage-ment, what other lunasin health beneitsis research uncovering?

    With lunasin research being conducted at morethan 25 institutions around the world, the bodyof research is continuously expanding! Some of

    the other applications include anti-aging, weightloss, inflammation and skin health. I believewere just getting started on discovering whatthis remarkable peptide can do. The potentialbenefits for human health are extraordinary, andit inspires my work every day.

    Dr. Alfredo Galvez is a renowned research sci-entist at the Center of Excellence in NutritionalGenomics at UC Davis and lead scientific advisorat the Missouri Plant Science Center. Dr. Galvez

    first discovered lunasin in 1996 during researchat UC Berkley to improve the nutritional profile

    of soy protein.

    People are seeing remarkable results with LunaRich. My phone rings

    all day with people wanting to learn more. And the clinical science

    behind it makes sharing LunaRich a simple matter o restating the acts.

    This is a game-changer!

    Dr. John Hayes, Waddell, AZ

    With LunaRich my energy levels have absolutely soared. Im at the top

    o my game mentally and I eel antastic! I know it sounds strange, but

    Im just happier and in a more joyul demeanor. Reliv Distributors need to

    grab hold o this opportunity right now. Its a rocket ready to take o!

    Our ShotRobert explains: When 24K was introducedat conference in Atlanta last February, [Vice

    President of North American Sales] SteveHastings kept saying, This is our shot. Thats areally rhythmic phrase, and it inspired us to turnit into something more. The pair wrote andchoreographed a music video about 24K. Itsopening doors and making the product more

    visible, Robert adds. Within 15 minutes ofposting the video, we already had someone ask-ing, How do we get this stuff?

    By February, their This Is Our Shot video hadgone viral. When it reached Reliv headquarters,Robert and John were asked to perform live at

    Reliv National Conference.

    It was amazing to perform in front of so manyReliv friends! What a thrill! Robert says. Thecrowd went wild, and the duo received twostanding ovations.

    When Robert Laird and John Schwendinger irst started

    their Reliv businesses, they never thought they would become

    internet sensations. It all started when they met at Johns irst

    Reliv meeting almost two years ago. Our geek connection

    was instantaneous, Robert says. Ater bonding over a love o

    Star Wars and a similar sense o humor, we knew we had to

    unite to provide entertainment to geeks everywhere.

    Since then theyve produced over 73 videos as part o their

    ongoing web series, Geeks Corner, and together theyve

    been using social media to expand their Reliv businesses.

    But the Primordial Penguins are morethan just a one-hit wonder. Behind

    the scenes, Robert and John have beenleveraging social media to expand theirnetwork and grow their business.

    Weve discovered its often easier forus to contact someone via Facebookor Twitter than it is with the phone,John says.

    By borrowing credibility from theiralready popular website, a family-friendlysite for Disney Annual Passholders, thetwo are using social networking to bring

    Reliv to the Disney community.We use social media to get the discus-sion going with people. Reliv is all aboutconnecting with people, John says. Sowe use Twitter, Facebook, YouTube,Google+, you name it, as tools to bevisible and build relationships. Thenonce a relationship is built, we can startlearning about people more and seeinghow we can help them.

    Robert explains: A bulk of the Distri-butors that weve signed up in the last

    3-4 months have come from Twitter.Every once in a while a group of uswill have meet-ups in the park where abunch of Disney fans get together. Imconstantly meeting people at Disneylandand networking there. Its nice to be ableto offer a healthy alternative in 24K.

    For Distributors who might be ventur-ing out into new territory, John advises,Remember, social media really isntanything new, its just a new tool. Itsabout the convenience of meeting people

    where they are.

    The best way to get started? Juststart Googling! John recommends.Chances are youre not the only one

    with a question. The web is an oasisof articles and tutorials. Just be sure tocross-check your sources.

    Using social media is just like tellingothers about Reliv, Robert concludes.When you find something that interestsyou, share it!

    Ill never orget one evening on my irst All-Star trip to Hawaii.It was a beautiul night clear sky, ull moon, ocean breeze.

    We stood out on our hotel balcony listening to the whales andwatching their silhouettes as they played in the ocean right

    in ront o us. It was like being in a movie. I was so thankul atthat moment or the incredible liestyle I enjoy thanks to Reliv.

    Breathtaking! ~ Quila

    When we irst earned a spot on the All-Star

    Team, we had the opportunity to sit down todinner with Dr. Carl Hastings and other top

    Reliv execs. They spent over three hours with

    us sharing their passion or their work and

    their goals or the company cutting-edge

    research, product innovation, international

    expansion. It was inspiring. Knowing where

    Reliv is headed motivates us every day.

    A couple years ago, I bought a new car by

    writing a check or the ull amount, rightthere on the spot. The car was nice, but what

    it symbolized meant so much more. Beore

    Reliv I was buried in debt and looking at the

    possibility o losing our home. As a single

    mom, I thought I had no way out. Now Im

    debt-ree, inancially secure and able to take

    my kids on trips around the world.

    a Big Impact in Its Own Backyard

    Putting light back in their eyesBuckheart Ranch in Escondido, CA, is a faith-based programdedicated to helping troubled youth turn their lives around byteaching integrity, stewardship, commitment and the impor-tance of family.

    Senior Director Kurt Behrendt from Bozeman, MT, intro-duced Buckheart Ranch Ministries Founder Chuck Dilts toReliv products when Chuck faced a serious health issue. Afterreceiving fantastic results, both Kurt and Chuck knew the boysat the Ranch could benefit as well.

    Reliv has helped with the boys concentration, overall generalhealth, put a light back in their eyes and given them stam-ina! These boys can focus better now that they have optimalnutrition, teacher Kellie Good says.

    The boys agree. During a recent visit by the RKF, they wereanxious to share the positive health results theyve experi-enced through daily Reliv shakes. Visit the videos page atrelivkalogrisfoundation.org to hear their story.

    I didnt know the Reliv Kalogris Foundation would help asmall organization like us, but we were thrilled for the sup-port, Chuck says. The Foundation relieved us of the financialstrain of paying for the products for all the boys here.

    In February, Chuck attended Reliv National Conference inReno to personally thank Reliv Distributors for providingproducts to the Ranch. He also encouraged others to apply forhelp if they knew of a worthy organization that could benefitfrom RKF support.

    Getting their feet back on the groundSisters of Maternity in Lansing, MI, is a faith-based residentialprogram for pregnant women facing life-controlling problems.

    Our program is designed to help women who come in fromdrug and alcohol abuse to get their feet back on the ground.

    Were thrilled to have Reliv products to help keep these womenhealthy as they recover, says Pastor Joy Barrows, director ofthe Sisters of Maternity.

    The mothers are grateful for increased energy, focused con-centration and improved sleep they receive from Reliv prod-

    ucts. Theyre also learning the importance of good nutritionfor themselves and their babies. Visit the videos page atrelivkalogrisfoundation.org to hear their story.
