Anyone heard of Thrive or take Thrive by Le-Vel?



Recommended Posts

There are no clinical studies on efficacy of the claims this product makes, and there are side effects with some of it, not just Vitamins as ingredients, makes claims to block carbs, etc etc....

Yes Thrive has Vitamins and minerals, but it also has stimulants. I've researched Thrive for the past 6 months and I have found this company to be average, if not below average. There list of vitamins and minerals is of the usual. There is no evidence where these products originated from, though they claim to be premium. With no evidence of such I cannot let them lay claim to it. Nutrition is based off of science and studies, Thrive is missing both. Another short coming of Thrive is there use of proprietary blends. Companies that include these blends are mostly the lowest of companies. They can fill there products with more of the least expensive products and less of the most expensive (purest) products, and the user has no clue how much there ingesting. Companies that use proprietary blends don't have to release ingredient quantities. Some will give the excuse that it's purely to protect the secret recipe, but this is all hawgwash. If a top company truly wanted to copy the they could run a lab test to find quantities. Plus they would face legal action even if it is patent pending. If you take the effective doses of the ingredients in proprietary blend it far exceeds what the number mg provided on the label. This means they are skimping out somewhere. My advice is to find a more transparent company, one without stimulants. You don't need them.

I know this thread is super old. I am planning on taking some of their new product for protien and hair skin nails type of things. I am going to be documenting but surgeon doesn’t want me to take anything til a few weeks after surgery and I won’t be taking anything that has too much of the stimulants. I love the lifestyle mix, the protien shake, the Protein Bars and the hydration (the one without caffiene)

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
