CHESTERFIELD, Mo., Dec. 4 /PRNewswire/ -- Reliv International, Inc. has
launched an improved version of its sports performance drink, ProVantage.
In addition to the health and performance-enhancing benefits of soy
protein, improved ProVantage includes natural soy nutrients that have been
shown to reduce the risk of developing certain diseases.
"Soybeans contain an array of beneficial nutrients in addition to
protein. But conventional processing to obtain soy protein eliminates these
other nutrients," said Reliv Vice President Dr. Carl W. Hastings. "The
improved ProVantage formula incorporates whole soy bean powder, which is
derived from cutting-edge processing technology."
Hastings said the whole bean powder provides soy protein while
retaining the other beneficial nutrients of soy such as isoflavones,
phytonutrients, antioxidants and fiber. "Numerous scientific studies
indicate that these additional nutrients provide important health
benefits," he said.
For example, higher consumption of soy isoflavones is associated with
lower incidence of heart disease and reduced risk of some cancers,
according to PDRHealth, a Web site based on information from the
Physicians' Desk Reference (http://www.pdrhealth.com ).
The sports performance benefits of soy protein remain the key focus of
ProVantage. Studies have also shown that soy protein can increase muscle
mass, enhance muscle functioning, and reduce fatigue and excess body fat.
In addition to the protein and additional nutrients, ProVantage
continues to provide its unique blend of other functional ingredients aimed
at improving the body's performance, endurance, recovery and repair. Those
ingredients include creatine, which extends peak athletic performance,
along with MCT (medium chain triglycerides) and CLA (conjugated linoleic
acid), both of which can help reduce body fat and increase muscle tone.
ProVantage includes all of these powerful ingredients in a proprietary
powdered formula using only non-GMO soy. Athletes simply mix the powder
with water and drink it; there's no need to buy multiple pills to get these
nutrients. ProVantage is available only from independent Reliv
distributors; to find a distributor, call 1-866-735-4863.
