Lunasin is a peptide found naturally in soy that is responsible for many of soys documented health benefits. LunaRich is a soy powder containing five to ten times more lunasin than ordinary soy powders, and it delivers that elevated lunasin in a more bioavailable way. Reliv has exclusive rights to LunaRich.
A team of scientists in the Philippines led by Jorge Sison, MD, conducted a study to determine the effects of Reliv Now and FibRestore in reducing major risk factors for cardiovascular disease.nnThe facts:n- Cardiovascular diseases rank number one in causing death globally.n- Lipid abnormalities like high cholesterol, triglycerides, LDL (“bad cholesterolâ€) and HDL (good cholesterol) are major risk factors for cardiovascular disease.n- Soy and fibers have been proven to help improve lipid abnormalities and therefore, benefit health.nnThe results:nReliv Now and FibRestoren- Reduced average cholesterol by 14%n- Reduced average LDL by 18% and 8%, respectivelyn- Reduced average triglycerides by 1.2% and 12.4%, respectivelyn- Reduced average uric acid by 10.4% and 16.7%, respectivelyn- Produced greater reduction in cholesterol and triglycerides among diabetic and/or overweight individualsnnFull Study (PDF)nnThese statements have not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration.

Soy isoflavones are responsible for most of soys health benefits. Studies have shown isoflavones are true multi-taskers, tackling everything from promoting heart health, alleviating hot flashes associated with menopause, 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.
Soy protein has an approved FDA health claim for reducing LDL cholesterol and CVD risk but the active component and mechanism of action are unknown. We tested the hypothesis that the lunasin peptide is the active component in soy protein responsible for lowering LDL cholesterol.
Our scientists combine advanced research, leading-edge manufacturing and laboratory technologies, and rigorous testing to create advanced nutrition with uniquely effective formulas.
