I began taking Reliv products in August of 2010. Prior to taking them I had been trying to regulate my thyroid medicine as I had switched over from synthetic meds to natural thyroid medication. The process had not gone well and by August I was feeling very tired, lethargic and had no drive or motivation. I also was experiencing very annoying brain fog and short-term memory problems (you know, the "why did I come into this room" syndrome).
I began on the basic products and within two weeks began to notice that I was perking up. In fact, I hadn't felt that good in years. We were still messing around with my medicine and I had jumped into Reliv with both feet, so within about a month, I was feeling very nauseous and I went into the toxic range with my dosage of thyroid medication. In order to get my body back into a regulated mode, I stopped everything and started both the Reliv and my medication back up slowly.
This took awhile, but since then I have been feeling great. My energy is up, my motivation is way up. I can wake up in the morning and actually get out of bed without that feeling of dread. I can think clearly, which is really an amazing feeling, and I am remembering a lot more than I used to!
The biggest thing I think Reliv has done for me is to allow my body to get to the point where I can and WANT to exercise. I have been talking about needing to exercise for years, but haven't had the energy to stick with it. Since Christmas of 2010 I have been up almost every morning exercising. This is truly a miracle for me!
I added a shot of 24K to my morning Reliv regime and I have to say that after about a week of taking it every day, I notice an even greater increase in my "staying" power. It's kind of like adding an extra engine to your train. I just feel like I can plunge through the day with even greater stamina. It is not a hyper feeling by any means, just a nice, steady energy.
Do I like the taste? NO, I don't, but the way I look at it is that each shake takes me approximately 30 seconds to drink. That's one minute of my day in total and the trade off for how much better I feel is worth the one minute of dislike. I am so thankful to God that we were introduced to these products. They truly have allowed my body to heal itself and to start to be the body I need it to be!

Steve - 5 strokes, high cholesterol...
One of the reasons why we started this blog was to share with you the incredible things that we've seen happen in people's lives once they begin taking Reliv. Remember, Reliv does not claim to cure anything, but by introducing optimal nutrition to your body, it allows your body to begin to heal itself.
The story I heard this morning was from a man named Steve who had suffered 5 strokes and was told that his life was pretty much over. His cholesterol was 857, his triglycerides were over 4500 and his blood sugar was over 600.
He was introduced to the Reliv products and began to flood his body with them. Within a short period of time he was sent to rehab, his cholesterol is now down to 149 and his triglycerides and blood sugar are both within normal limits.
Steve literally got his life back. The cool thing is that we hear stories like this all the time. If you'd like to hear more incredible stories, just contact us and we'd be happy to share them with you.

24K
If you follow the news, you might have seen yesterday all the reports about energy drinks and how they are not good for kids because of the caffeine and stimulants that are in them. Kids who have had problems with the drinks have reported symptoms such as nausea, dizziness and diarrhea.
What's nice about 24K is that there aren't any stimulants in it: No caffeine and no sugar so no buzz or jittery feelings. There are some great ingredients in this drink:
Omega 3 fatty acids which are instrumental in the function of brain cell membranes. Omega 3s are important for us, but something we do not get enough of! They help improve learning and memory...something that is great for all ages!
Resveratrol, which is found in wine, improves blood flow to the brain which will help with brain performance and focus.
B Vitamins which, again, are necessary vitamins, but ones that many of us are deficient in. These vitamins will help with energy production and brain function.
Coenzyme Q10 production decreases as we age, so supplementation of this enzyme is almost always necessary. This enzyme helps with the brain and energy production, too!
Valerian Root "provides alert relaxation" and has been shown to reduce anxiety.
So why would you want to take an "energy" drink that is full of stimulants when you can take a drink which is truly good for your body? The effect may or may not be immediate, different people have reported different things, but over time, you will definitely notice a difference in your energy level, your stress level and the increased clarity in your thinking. Give it a try and tell us what your results are!

24K Testamonials
Since 24K is such a new product, it is going to take awhile before we really get to see the long-term benefits of taking this product. It is interesting to see what people are reporting so far.
I have been taking the 24K for almost a week now and I can say that it has definitely made me feel balanced and solid. I've taken it under a variety of circumstances and have had more stamina.
My husband says that it makes his workouts easier and he has the stamina to go longer. He also hasn't wanted to drink as much coffee as usual!
My college-aged daughter just took her first big bottle back to school with her. She's planning on taking it before her geology class and hoping it helps her to focus more (aka stay awake :) during class!
Other people have been reporting a decrease in caffeine consumption, a decrease in wanting to eat all the time and one person reported a decrease in his desire for alcohol!
I have to believe that with the list of incredible ingredients in this product we are going to see some amazing things happening as people begin to take this long-term.
