Reliv LunaRich FAQ

Lunasin is a peptide found naturally in soy that is responsible for many of soy’s 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™.

Lunasin is a peptide found naturally in soy and is a unique 43-amino soybean peptide. Lunasin is responsible for many of soy’s documented health benefits, including:
1) Heart health
2) Cholesterol management
3) Inflammation reduction
4) Antioxidant benefits
5) Improved immunity
6) Overall cellular health
Please note that everyone’s body is different and that the rate at which lunasin helps you achieve improvements in your health and the degree to which you achieve them is dependent on many factors, including lifestyle choices. Learn more about lunasin.

No. Like all of Reliv’s soy formulas, LunaRich is derived from non-GMO soybeans.

No, Reliv has never done any business with Monsanto.

Yes. LunaRich is a whole soy powder.

A recent study of pigs supplemented daily with Reliv Now® and LunaRich X™ for eight weeks showed significant improvement in key biomarkers associated with cardiovascular and metabolic health.
Test subjects recorded a decrease in weight gain and a 65% reduction in free fatty acid (FFA) levels, a biomarker associated with obesity and metabolic syndrome. The decrease in FFA levels was accompanied by coordinate increases in plasma levels of the hormones leptin (+64%) and adiponectin (+60%). Leptin signals the brain when the body had enough food, producing the feeling of fullness. Adiponectin (ADP) is a hormone from fat cells that controls energy metabolism, increases insulin sensitivity and supports weight loss. The two hormones perform complementary actions and can have additive effects on weight management.
