A Healthy Alternative

We’re not doing our bodies any favors when we consume the most popular, caffeine-packed energy drinks. Caffeine works by stimulating the central nervous system, heart, muscles, and the blood pressure control centers, providing an artificial lift to make you feel like you have more energy.
Caffeine intake can lead to jitters and a “crashing” feeling once the stimulant wears off, leaving you more exhausted than you were before. Excessive intake can lead to more serious problems: unhealthy heart rate, restlessness, anxiety, difficulty sleeping and withdrawal symptoms. In fact, the Mayo Clinic advises that serious medical problems such as fainting or heart attack can occur if massive amounts of caffeinated energy drinks are consumed before vigorous exercise.

24K, meanwhile, contains 24 powerful — and healthy — ingredients backed by clinical research to tap into your body’s natural vitality and promote peak performance. These include:
  • Beta Alanine–reduces fatigue and improves strength and endurance
  • L-Carnitine–helps turn fat into energy
  • CoenzymeQ10–brain enhancing nutrient that converts fat into energy
  • Omega-3 Fatty Acids–gives better focus right now and better memory later
  • Reveratrol–improves blood flow to the brain, helps combat “brain fog” with improved performance and focus
  • Taurine–reduces brain plaque build up in the brain which leads to Alzheimer’s and brain disorders
  • Acetyl L-Carnitine–amino acid, naturally helps body produce energy, aids in fighting mental disorders, important for heart, brain function, and muscle movement
  • Alpha GPC–helps brain transmission, helps memory and learning functions
  • Blueberry Extract–memory development & retention, antioxidant, fights free radicals
  • Huperzine A–improves brain performance, memory and learning development, used to fight Alzheimer’s disease
  • Choline–helps with brain development, prevents memory loss, prevents liver damage, may lower cholesterol and protect against cancers
  • Curcumin–pain relieving, anti inflammatory, antioxidant, great for the liver and heart.
  • Ginko Biloba–helps blood flow circulation
  • Grape Seed Extract–overcomes cognitive decline, aids in circulation, it’s an antihistamine, anti-inflammatory, & antioxidant
  • Inosital–helps mood and actions, helps neuro transmitters, may help with things like panic, depression, diabetes and liver issues among other things
  • Vinpocetine–improves blood flow & energy in cells, may help dementia and Alzheimer’s
  • Phosphatidylserine–blood flow neurotransmitter release, increases metabolism throughout your entire brain
  • GABA–a neurotransmitter that controls the brain theta waves, helps mood, increases endorphins and reduces anxiety
  • L-Theanine–stimulates production of alpha waves which puts you in a good mood
  • Serenzo–reduces stress
  • Neuravena–helps mental fitness, helps deal with stressful situations
  • Valerian Root–produces energy with the jitters, gives a alert relaxation, and helps body relieve stress

Break the Fatigue Cycle
Our daily activities zap our energy and can leave us feeling worn out, unfocused and stressed. 24K™ offers a healthy new solution by addressing the underlying problem — the fatigue cycle.
Physical fatigue and mental fog go hand-in-hand, and stress is a leading contributor to both. These three factors continue in a vicious cycle, leaving you feeling exhausted and unable to get the most out of your day. To be truly effective, a formula must address all three of them.
24K’s comprehensive formula targets the entire fatigue cycle. Rather than masking symptoms with stimulants, 24K nourishes your body with 24 clinically proven ingredients that work synergistically to provide the fuel for healthy, real energy.

Healthy energy for body, mind, and spirit
Everyone knows what it feels like to be tired. But more and more Americans aren’t just tired; they’re exhausted — both mentally and physically. Our schedules continue to get busier as we strive to balance work, school, family and everything else we do. We need added energy more than ever before. 
It’s no surprise then that the energy drink market is booming. Unfortunately, most people turn to energy products containing stimulants that can do more harm than good. Loaded with caffeine, these products provide an artificial lift leading to an inevitable crash. That’s not to mention the potential for an accelerated heart rate, anxiety, trouble sleeping and even withdrawal. In fact, the levels of caffeine in some popular energy drinks have many regulatory authorities concerned in several countries worldwide, prompting more strict regulations and warning labeling. 
At Reliv, we felt compelled to provide a healthy alternative. Meet 24K, our first ready-to-drink product and a healthy way to deliver real energy through real nutrition. Rather than relying on stimulants, 24K contains 24 health-promoting ingredients proven to address all three factors in the fatigue cycle: physical fatigue, mental fog and stress. 
No other product on the market delivers the nutritional punch of 24K. Just compare labels and see for yourself. If you’re looking for a healthy source of energy for body, mind and spirit, this is your shot!

Your Questions Answered


Why?
Reliv set out to develop 24K for a simple reason: a lack of healthy options in the widely popular energy drink market. And there are even fewer products that also address mental focus and stress relief. Countless products promise energy, but how that energy is delivered — through caffeine and loads of sugar — can be unhealthy. These stimulants only mask symptoms and fail to address the root of the problem: the fatigue cycle.
 
How?
Led by Dr. Carl Hastings, Reliv’s product development team selected the cutting-edge ingredients in 24K based on the most up-to-date clinical studies available. These ingredients were then formulated to work synergistically to address contributing factors to mental and physical fatigue, such as the way our bodies naturally produce energy, brain cell function and blood flow to the brain.

What?
When we say 24K is a game changer, we mean it. Reliv has created a real solution to the fatigue cycle. There is nothing like 24K anywhere else on the market — it’s the healthiest energy shot available today.

Reliv Kalogris Foundation Achieves Record Donations in 2010

The Reliv Kalogris Foundation announced that donors gave a record $1.2 million in 2010 to provide free nutritional supplements to 42,000 people everyday in 10 countries.

In addition, the Foundation donated funds to build a feeding center in the Philippines during 2010, and funds for an orphanage in northern Haiti. The orphanage project is under construction. The organization provides free supplements to those who use the feeding center and will provide products to those who will live in the orphanage.

The Foundation raised the funds for the buildings at its fourth annual “Walk for the Mission” in St. Louis last summer. More than 2,000 Reliv distributors participated in the event and raised in excess of $40,000.

Following the earthquake in Haiti last winter, the Reliv Foundation made a special donation of $450,000 in Reliv nutritional supplements to earthquake relief efforts.

The Reliv Foundation distributes approximately 95 percent of all donations to more than 270 feeding centers in 10 countries. Reliv International covers the administrative costs and the salaries of the organization’s employees.

Since 1995, the Foundation has donated approximately $26 million to programs that support malnourished people.

Until recently, the Reliv Foundation took donations solely from Reliv distributors and employees. At the request of the company’s distributors, the Foundation established the Network to Nourish program during 2010. The program, registered in 48 states, enables the organization to accept donations from any individual.

About the Reliv Kalogris Foundation

The Reliv Kalogris Foundation is named for the late Dr. Theodore “Ted” Kalogris, who created the nutritional formula that would become Reliv International’s first product. The Reliv Kalogris Foundation was founded in 1995. For more information, you can find us on Facebook, or visit https://www.relivkalogrisfoundation.org/US/EN/home.html.

Follow the Gold Standard for health and well being...

Is stress derailing your ability to get things done in a day? Zapping your energy? Making your mind foggy? Beyond finding better ways to manage your stress, such as getting more sleep, exercising, and taking time to relax and have fun, the lack of certain nutrients in your diet could be making the physical effects of stress worse. If you're feeling enough stress to cause fatigue, you're on the pathway to poor health.

Stress hormones can deplete the body of vitamins and start the snowball effect of fatigue, anxiety and mental haze. Here are just a few of the nutrients you need to combat stress, clear the fog and amp up energy.

Boost the Bs

Topping the list of energy superstars are the B complex vitamins, which include B6, B12 and folate. These vitamins are essential to help your cells carry oxygen to your brain and to keep you energized. B vitamins also help metabolize carbohydrates, a key source of fuel for your body.

Go for Omega-3

Essential fatty acids like omega-3 can reduce many stress symptoms and counter some of the damaging effects of high levels of stress hormones in the body, according to research.

Some evidence even ties the lack of omega-3 in our diets with the increase in depression in our society today. Omega-3 has been shown to regulate mood and improve mental clarity.

Run with Resveratrol

Resveratrol, found in red grape skin, helps muscles use oxygen more efficiently to enhance performance. Because energy is processed more efficiently, you're able to work out longer and more intensely. Dare we say, your workouts could actually be easier?

Charge Up with Coenzyme Q10

Research shows CoQ10 (conenzyme Q10) boosts cell energy production and as a result can improve athletic performance. In addition, CoQ10 has even been shown to enhance physical activity in people with fatigue syndromes.

This is Your Shot

Your simple solution to stress and energy shortfalls is at hand. Whether you're running kids around, running a business, or running a 5K, you can power through every day with new 24K™ from Reliv. Formulated with a synergistic blend of 24 active ingredients (including the four described above), 24K provides energy, focus and stress relief. And with no caffeine and only 5 calories per serving, it's healthy energy for body, mind and spirit.

No jitters. No energy crashes. 24K is the gold standard to kick start your day, pump up workouts, improve concentration and prevent that midday slump.

Enjoy a healthier, more active lifestyle with  Reliv.

Why am I in pain?

Heartburn is as American as apple pie—more than 60 million people experience it at least once a month. For some people—those with gastroesophageal reflux disease, or GERD—heartburn can be a constant companion.

Some heartburn triggers are obvious: chili dogs, chocolate cake, Thanksgiving. But heartburn doesn’t stop and start with food alone. If you have constant heartburn, it's time to track down the real culprit.

My First Body Composition Analysis

Wow, this is kind of a surprise to see that some of my body health markers are in the yellow and red.  As         you can see, I am 60 years young,  5' 11.5" tall and 207 pounds.  I am not that overweight, but it is what's inside your body that you don't see.  


BMI (Body Mass Index) is a number calculated using your weight and height that can be used to estimate if your body weight is considered healthy.  As you can see on the report above, I am in the yellow and need to make some adjustments in my diet and exercise programs.

Body Fat Percentage is the amount of body fat in your body expressed as a proportion of your body weight.  As you can see I am border line with this reading.

Total Body Water Percentage is the amount of body fat in your body expressed as a proportion of your body weight.  I am in the green with this one.

Visceral Fat is a rating that indicates the amount of fat in your abdominal cavity.  A rating of 12 or less is considered healthy.  I am a 14-need adjustment in diet and exercise.


Physique Rating is an assessment of your physique according to the ratio of body fat and muscle mass in your body.  I am a 2.  My goal would be a 5.

Bone Mass is the mass of bone (bone mineral level, calcium, or other minerals)in your body expressed in pounds.  My bone mass is 7.6 lbs. which is in the healthy range.

The above health markers are the main ones that the average person would monitor to make adjustments in their lifestyle to improve their overall health.  The report above gives you much more, including Segmental Data for the right leg, left leg, right arm, left arm, and trunk.

As you can see on the Segmental Data, my reading from my left leg versus my right leg varies.  The reason being that I had polio when I was a young kid, and my data shows that I need to pay more attention to the right leg.

With the Body Composition Monitor, you can set your goals and track your progress with monthly and Bi-monthly scans.  By reviewing your personal report, you will insure that you are trending in the right direction.

I am real excited about this new technology!
