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)

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
