This product has Bioperine listed too, which may interfere with some prescription drugs people may be taking.
All in all...anything that does not list what you are consuming completely and accurately, should be avoided.
So I am giving it a Thumbs Down.

I will try to respond objectively to this post and correct some of the apparent misunderstandings *edit*
First MultiLevel Marketing or Network Marketing is a legitimate form of marketing a business and there is nothing inherently wrong or suspicious. Would you say that all retail companies are suspicious if you had a problem at one store? Don't confuse the business model with a particular company.
Reliv has been around for more than 21 years and has been ranked highly in Forbes and Business Week. They have no debt and own their own manufacturing facility. They are a solid company.
*edit*
As far as the products, you can find the ingredients listed in each product on the Reliv website. If you will look carefully, you will also see that for the Arthaffect, which I think is the product you referred to, there is a link to the patent. There are not very many supplements out there that are patented because it is a difficult process. But, that patent means that every can of that product manufactured MUST contain the exact same amounts of every ingredient listed in the patent. Quality control is very strict on patented products.
The reason the ingredients are listed under Proprietary Blend without quantities is not to deceive customers but to prevent competitors from trying to duplicate a successful product that was put through the patent process.
Sorry for the long response, but like you, I like to be accurate so that others can make an informed decision.
