FibRestore®

Digestive Health - balance, restore, revitalize

The Fiber Fix

Digestive HealthFiber is one amazing multi-tasker. Whether your goal is weight loss, improved digestion or heart health, fiber does it all. Despite common knowledge of fiber’s many benefits, 95% of Americans don’t get the American Dietetic Association’s recommended 21-35 grams per day.

Fortunately, patented FibRestore provides 10 grams of soluble and insoluble fiber per serving. It’s a simple solution for better health.

No Ordinary Fiber

Did you know there are actually two types of fiber, each with different benefits? Your body needs both soluble and insoluble fiber. Unfortunately, most fiber supplements only provide soluble fiber to act as a “bulking agent” in the gut. The insoluble fiber in FibRestore provides added benefits you can’t get from a typical fiber powder. With FibRestore, you can balance, restore and revitalize.

Soluble fiber:

•  leads to less artery build-up by binding to cholesterol and inhibiting cholesterol production.
•  helps control blood glucose by slowing carbohydrate digestion, which can help manage weight.

Insoluble fiber:

•  reduces constipation, diverticulosis, and risk of colon cancer and other intestinal diseases by helping speed transit through the colon.
•  promotes growth of probiotics, helpful bacteria that keep harmful bacteria in check, aid in digestion and keep you healthy.
•  enhances weight loss by improving satiety.

Beyond Digestion

Feeling great is about more than just proper digestion. That’s why patented FibRestore has an exclusive blend of antioxidants, enzymes and herbs for overall well-being.

Antioxidants. Beta carotene, vitamin C and vitamin E are potent antioxidants that neutralize cell-damaging molecules known as free radicals.

Enzymes. Papain and bromelain are two key enzymes that reduce inflammation, promote proper digestion, relieve bloating and indigestion, and help the body function more efficiently.

Herbs. Ginseng, garlic and chamomile are just three of 21 herbs in FibRestore’s special proprietary blend. The bioflavonoids in herbs have been shown to protect and revitalize, promoting overall wellness.

FibRestore® Product Reviews


“I was really surprised when, within three months of starting on Reliv Now®, FibRestore® and Innergize!, my digestive system was operating as it should. I now enjoy a new feeling of well-being.” ~ Darren Sanders, Australia 


“FibRestore supports my overall health, from digestion to immunity. I can’t remember the last time I took a sick day. It also helps me feel fuller, longer. I dropped 15 pounds since adding FibRestore to my shake — and I’ve kept it off!” ~ Ron Baker, Rex, GA


“Since I was a little girl, I struggled with serious constipation. I was further dragged down by nagging discomfort and fatigue. In 2008, I began taking Reliv Classic®, Innergize!® and FibRestore® shakes twice a day. One week later, I felt so much better and didn’t need the over-the-counter remedies I had been taking to relieve my constipation. After adding GlucAffect®, I have also lost 15 pounds and my blood pressure has regulated. I have so much energy now and am more productive as a teacher, mom and wife.” ~ Svetlana Vilig, Plano, Texas

Exciting Breakthrough: LunaRich and Lunasin

Recent studies show lunasin — a naturally occurring peptide found in soy — is the nutritional “magic” behind many of soy’s remarkable health benefits, especially cholesterol management. LunaRich™, a breakthrough non-GMO soy powder exclusive to Reliv, delivers five to ten times as much bioactive lunasin as ordinary soy powder.

Reliv has partnered with Soy Labs and the Missouri Plant Science Center (MPSC) and through this partnership, Reliv can now direct the entire production process — from seed to can — to deliver a nutritional supplement of unparalleled quality, purity and potency.

Numerous studies demonstrate lunasin’s superior support for cancer-preventive effects, cardiovascular health, significant anti-inflammatory properties, anti-aging, and skin health.

Soy is the foundation of several Reliv nutrition shakes. Yet it’s important to recognize that soy is just one important part of a total package. Soy supplements alone offer an array of benefits ranging from menopause relief to disease prevention and weight loss. But it’s the additional ingredients that work synergistically to make soy such a powerhouse in Reliv products.

Get your Daily 25!

When it comes to soy, both quantity and quality are important. Research shows 25 grams a day of soy protein with isoflavones can tap into soy’s amazing health-enhancing potential. Getting your “daily 25” is easy with the help of Reliv’s wide array of nutritional supplements that offer significant amounts of soy per serving:

Reliv Launches LunaRich™ Soy Powder

Recent studies show lunasin — a naturally occurring peptide found in soy — is the nutritional “magic” behind many of soy’s remarkable health benefits, especially cholesterol management. LunaRich™, a breakthrough soy powder exclusive to Reliv, delivers five to ten times as much bioactive lunasin as ordinary soy powder.

Reliv International and Soy Labs LLC recently announced the creation of LunaRich™, an exclusive soy powder developed at the Missouri Plant Science Center (MPSC). Reliv is adding LunaRich to one of its products and will unveil which one at the Reliv National Conference in Reno, NV, on February 16.

“This is a significant step forward for Reliv and for nutrition science,” Reliv Chief Scientific Officer Dr. Carl Hastings says. “As scientists learn more about the mechanisms that make soy a nutritional superfood, Reliv is proud to lead the way in making the fruits of these discoveries available to all.”

What is LunaRich?

LunaRich is a whole soy powder cultivated from Reliv-dedicated soybeans. Soy Labs and the MPSC research partners identified soybean varieties for use in LunaRich with the highest possible levels of lunasin, a peptide found naturally in soy. “Lunasin is the nutritional ‘magic’ behind many of soy’s remarkable health benefits,” Dr. Carl notes.

Dr. Alfredo Galvez, the MPSC’s lead scientific advisor, first discovered lunasin during research at UC Berkley to improve the nutritional profile of soy protein. More than 40 peer-reviewed and published studies have documented lunasin’s health benefits. Research by 21 research institutions supported by 27 public and private funding sources has resulted in nine patents.

Premium Soy Powder

“A growing body of research shows that the lunasin peptide is one of the most important bioactive components of soy,” Dr. Galvez explains. “Among other benefits, lunasin demonstrates superior support for cardiovascular health and exhibits significant anti-inflammatory properties. In creating LunaRich for Reliv, we have maximized lunasin levels in soy.”

“Reliv has always used the best possible soy available,” Dr. Carl notes. “But LunaRich takes it to a new level. It contains unprecedented levels of bioactive lunasin in every serving — five to ten times that of typical soy. And we’ve been able to direct the entire production process — from seed to can. We are very, very excited about what this means for Reliv and everyone who uses our products.”

Soy Supplements

Studies continue to illustrate the many benefits of soy. Whether you’re looking to reduce cholesterol, minimize menopausal symptoms, or protect against health problems, soy is a simple, effective way to take control of your health. And with Reliv’s advanced soy-based products, harnessing the power of soy has never been easier!

Soy isoflavones are true multi-taskers, tackling everything from promoting heart health and alleviating menopausal hot flashes to increasing bone density and lowering the risk of prostate, colon and breast cancers. In addition, protein-rich soy foods may help you lose weight and fat when substituted for other sources of protein.

Apples Are a Top Health Pick

Crunch on this: Apples are a major source of disease-fighting nutrition neatly packaged in a delicious, easily portable, portion-controlled fruit. It turns out “An apple a day keeps the doctor away” is based in fact. Science shows apples’ multiple health benefits — from your brain to your bowels.
With fall comes a bounty of crisp, juicy apple varieties to pick from. Check out the apple’s many juicy perks:
• Studies have linked the consumption of apples with reduced risk of some cancers, cardiovascular disease, asthma and diabetes.
• In the Women’s Health Study, women eating apples had a 13 to 22 percent decrease in heart disease risk. Fiber in apples combined with the fruit’s strong antioxidant activity lowers cholesterol to reduce your risk of heart disease.
• Apples are a good source of both soluble and insoluble fiber to aid digestive health.
• Apple pectin, an insoluble fiber, may reduce the risk of colon cancer.
• Apples are a very significant source of flavonoids, a type of phytonutrient. In a Finnish study, flavonoid intake — mainly through eating apples — was associated with decreased mortality.
• Several studies have specifically linked eating apples with a reduced risk for cancer, especially lung cancer. Scientists credit apples’ high concentration of flavonoids, particularly quercetin.
• Apple peel is loaded with vitamin C, an antioxidant.
• Research is showing a group of phytonutrients in apples could protect the brain from neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer’s disease and Parkinson’s disease.
• Quercetin, one of the phytonutrients in apples, has stronger anti-cancer activity and antioxidant protective effects than even vitamin C.
• Apple’s phytochemicals fight bacterial and viral infections, and are anti-inflammatory.
• Eating apples has been shown to lower the risk for type 2 diabetes partly thanks to the high concentration of quercetin in apple peels.
For better health, treat yourself to a healthy diet abundant with fruits and vegetables. Reliv nutritional products can also boost your intake of beneficial phytonutrients, vitamins and minerals and fiber. For example, FibRestore® is a rich source of carotenoids and other antioxidants with 21 herbs and 10 grams of soluble and insoluble fiber.
