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.

LunaRich is applied under the tongue (sublingually) while LunaRich X capsules are orally ingested. LunaRich is absorbed directly into the bloodstream and distributed throughout the body, while the bioactive lunasin in the LunaRich X capsules goes through the gastrointestinal tract and accumulates in the liver before a smaller percentage enters the bloodstream and is distributed throughout the body.

LunaRich X will have more impact on liver and GI tract functions like cholesterol support. LunaRich will have more effects on cellular health and the functioning of the whole body.

The recommended dose is 2 mL of LunaRich — 1 mL in the morning and 1 mL in the evening.

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.

Study Results

LunaRich is a Reliv-exclusive non-GMO soy powder that delivers 5-10 times more of soy’s key bioactive component than ordinary soy powders. Learn more about LunaRich soy powder.

RLV Protect contains hemp extract and lunasin while LunaRich contains only concentrated lunasin. Lunasin absorption in LunaRich is higher due to the higher concentration.

The presence of hemp extract in Protect provides additional benefits, such as helping to relieve stress and supporting digestive health.

Currently, LunaRich is in seven Reliv products in the US. However, we do not consider product changes at Reliv without thorough study and testing, even when third-party research indicates the change will improve the product. People who consume our products have come to rely on them for their health and wellbeing. And we do not take that responsibility lightly. Product development takes time and we want to make sure we create the ideal formulation for each and every product we make.

LunaRich works to improve cholesterol in two ways. Most cholesterol is produced by your liver. Lunasin, a key peptide in LunaRich. has been clinically proven to disrupt production of cholesterol in the liver and improve the liver’s ability to clear LDL (bad) cholesterol from the bloodstream.  Learn more about lunasin’s role in cholesterol reduction
