FORT WORTH, Texas, Feb. 16, 2009 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Reliv International, Inc. (Nasdaq:RELV), a developer, manufacturer and marketer of nutritional supplements, hosted approximately 2,000 U.S. distributors at its 2009 National Conference here last week.
In a keynote address, Reliv Chairman, President and CEO Robert L. Montgomery told distributors that there's never been a better time to be part of Reliv. "Our products help people maintain or improve their health, and the Reliv business opportunity is perfect for the thousands of people looking for additional income during this difficult economy."
The company announced a new weight-loss challenge for its distributors that will run through May. The challenge centers around two Reliv products: Slimplicity, which is a meal replacement, and GlucAffect, Reliv's newest product.
GlucAffect is chiefly used in blood-sugar management, but it also is shown in clinical trials to support weight loss.
Reliv also launched a new Web site for the Reliv Kalogris Foundation (http://www.relivkalogrisfoundation.org/US/EN/home.html). The Reliv Foundation provides free nutritional supplements to more than 42,000 malnourished and impoverished children in 10 countries.
