SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION


Issuer Delisting; Notice of Application To Withdraw From Listing 
and Registration; (Reliv' International, Inc., Common Stock, No Par 
Value) File No. 1-11768

October 17, 1996.
    Reliv' International, Inc. (``Company'') has filed an application 
with the Securities and Exchange Commission (``Commission''), pursuant 
to Section 12(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (``Act'') and 
Rule 12d2-2(d) promulgated thereunder, to withdraw the above specified 
security (``Security'') from listing and registration on the American 
Stock Exchange, Inc. (``Amex'').
    The reasons alleged in the application for withdrawing the Security 
from listing and registration include the following:
    According to the Company, its Board of Directors unanimously 
approved resolutions on July 17, 1996 to withdraw the Security from 
listing on the Amex and instead, to list the Security on the Nasdaq 
National Market System ``Nasdaq/NMS''.
    The decision of the Board followed a thorough study of the matter 
and was based upon the belief that listing the Security on the Nasdaq/
NMS will be more beneficial to the Company's stockholders than the 
present listing on the Amex because:
    (1) The Nasdaq system of competing market makers should result in 
increased visibility and sponsorship for the Security of the Company as 
compared to the case under the single specialist system on the Amex;
    (2) Greater liquidity and less volatility in prices per share when 
trading volume is light might be expected as a result of listing on 
NASDAQ as compared to the Amex;
    (3) Listing on the NASDAQ system might be expected to result in 
there being a greater number of market makers in the Security of the 
Company and expanded capital base available for trading in such stock; 
and
    (4) Because it might be expected that a larger number of firms will 
make a market in the Security, it might also be expected that there 
will be a greater interest in information and research reports 
respecting the Company and as a result there may be an increase in the 
number of institutional research and advisory reports reaching the 
investment community with respect to the Company.
    Any interested person may, on or before November 7, 1996 submit by 
letter to the Secretary of the Securities and Exchange Commission, 450 
Fifth Street, N.W., Washington, D.C. 20549, facts bearing upon whether 
the application has been made in accordance with the rules of the 
exchanges and what terms, if any, should be imposed by the Commission 
for the protection of investors. The Commission, based on the 
information submitted to it, will issue an order granting the 
application after the date mentioned above, unless the Commission 
determines to order a hearing on the matter.

    For the Commission, by the Division of Market Regulation, 
pursuant to delegated authority.
Jonathan G. Katz,
Secretary.
