| Started it. Liked it. Couldn't afford it, didn't want to sell it, saw friends becoming nasty over pressure to sell sell sell. Walked away no regrets.
Also got different answers to questions depending on who I asked - like do I really have to chug the shake? Can I mix it with my smoothie? One said yes you have to drink quickly and the other said no, I have with a smoothie every morning...
Edited to add - I'm on my second day of Cur-Ost and hoping that helps solve a lot of the issues i was hoping thrive would solve, aches, pains, which if solved should help me sleep better and make me want to do stuff :)

Location: HOME OF THE DILLON BEAVERS!!!!!!! | i have been using it since 2014, i love it . it is an all natural supplement that runs about 5 dollars a day, i mainly take the caplets, they do give you energy. i like the supplement part of it and have noticed less colds and my hair and nails are so much better. it does have white willow bark in it for joint issues. some people can't do the white willow bark because of other reasons, so you can ask your doctor. i don't sell it no one does, if you decide you want it you can sign up under your friend and you decide when you would want it and how much you want to spend. people want you to sign under them so they get credits from how many people you get, the people under me sign up and then they might decide they don't want it, i don't really care as long as it's on the market and i can buy it. i really do like it and hope this helps

Location: Idaho | Tried it. It made me super sick, I was nauseous and they told me I was detoxing. By the third day my whole body hurt.. so I tossed it. Went back to my all natural supplements (which if you looked at the ingredients , it was the SAME thing.. only thrive had less amounts, and also my joint supplements had similiar ingredients as well) and I felt a lot better.
I just dont agree with it. More power to those who it works for. |

| My husband tried it for a week or more and the 1st 3-4 days he detoxed or whatever and hated it (I thought it was funny :). After he detoxed he felt great, had energy, and was happier. Unfortunately the price tag made it uneconomical :-/ If anyone's getting $200/mo supplements it's the horses lol
From what I've heard and seen, if your diet is poor it will help you out and make you feel better. If you already eat a balanced diet you're not going to see as much success with it. |

Location: Purcell Ok | I have been using it since May 2015. I love it!! I put hubby on it to and we both can tell a difference if we don't take it. I have lost 50lbs on it in a little over a year. Slow and steady. What I love is that I have the energy to work horses in the evening when I get home from my full time job. Even if I don't do the shakes, just the pills, I have energy. |

| My sister tried it. She said she felt like what she assumed a tweeker would feel like and should be taking the wheels off a shopping cart at midnight with a flash light. Basically, she said it gave her a ton of energy, but really bad jitters and couldn't sleep.
A close friend uses it and loves it. She liked it so much she is now selling it.

| Tried it and quit. First 4 days I had bad jitters. I don't call that increased energy, that's just jitters that make you think you're body is going to explode. I also had heart palpitations. I am NOT saying Thrive caused it, and I will say I've never had heart palpitations before. Didn't lose a pound, followed the instructions to a T.
What worked for me is getting reacquainted with Tony Horton. Good old fashioned sweat-your-butt-off exercise. Down 17 pounds so far. |

Location: So. Cali. | I've tried it on two different occasions. I found I could not take the 2 pills in the morning, like someone else mentioned, too much. I compared it more to assuming its how someone with ADHD feels, so much energy but couldn't focus it in one direction. 1 pill a morning was better. I never felt like I was detoxing, but defiantly helped me get thru a full day without getting tired. The second time I used it while on vacation which involved ALOT of walking & sit seeing, defiantly helped me thru the day. But as mentioned, cost effient? Nope. I'll stick to healthy eating. |

| I love it. I have been doing it since March of this year. I decided that I couldnt put a price tag on feeling better. I also havent paid for my product since the first month. Someone said pyramid scheme... Thats illegal, so it wouldnt be growing and doing what it is doing if it was illegal. Le-Vel is the fastest growing health and wellness product on the market. They just posted over 4,000,000 customers and they are just 4 years old. I would love to tell you more about it you are interested.. I cant imagine a day without it! |

Location: Running barrels or watching nascar | I am a promoter. I'll fess up though. I can't take the capsules as they make me shake but with the shake mix and the patch, I've had fewer sinus headaches and don't 'hit the wall' so early in the day. Before that, I was a skeptic like everyone else. I still get tired but it's still better than being 'part-zombie' for 20+ years. |

| Good friend signed me up and I decided to give it a go. Did all those calls they suggested and was blown away. They push push push and have no idea what they are talking about. I am in the health field and started asking deeper questions and all hell broke loose. If you are in a health related sales company you better know what you are promoting, "just tell them they are detoxing if they get sick" doesn't work for me. I see a lawsuit in the future.
Jitters, heart palpations, uneasy stomach, the list is long!

Location: western Nebraska | I have used it for a couple of years now. I stopped for a short time and felt bad so I started using it again and I won't stop. I don't know how much it would cost to buy all the vitamins and shake stuff that you get with the thrive but I bet it would be more. I also use the balance. Also No. I don't sell it. I just bead more to be able to afford it. I am not pushing it on anyone |

Location: The best kept secret in TX | My Mother uses it. She is a school teacher and loves the way it gives her energy without making her shakey. She sells just enough to friends who have asked her for it to get it cheaper for herself somehow.
I use ACE and B-12 pills. Seems to do the same for about half the price.
My Mother takes it because she likes it. No money to be made. She doesn't market it. She just uses and when people ask she gives them a sample and waits to hear from them. If she hears from them cool, if not she doesn't bother them.
It made me shakey but it doesn't make her shakey. You either love it or you don't. I delete people on Facebook daily who bombard me with trying to sell me things like this.... |

(They have since changed their listing of it as Citrus Aurantium, its Latin name) Look it up on WebMD; it is a stimulant and is often used in "ephedra free" weight loss pills.  |

That brings up a whole 'nother ball of wax. I have taken a wide variety of supplements, some on my own, some on the advice of a Naturopath. The ONLY thing that gave me any noticeable energy increase at all, turned out to be Epherda....without any shakes or negative side effects. For the first time in decades I felt "normal", after fighting with Fibromyalgia and Chronic Fatigue. Naturopath told me that it was because I had suffered from Adrenal failure and that the Ephedra kick started the Adrenals to start doing their job...hence the stimulant effect. If you have decent working adrenal glands then you probably get the shakes, etc. So a month or two later Ephedra got taken off the market because ONE, STUPID body builder died after taking 10 times the normal dosage (and who knows for how long). Grrrrr, so it is back to feeling like crap and exhausted all of the time. A bonus of the Ephedra was being able to breath out of my nose again....for that I now have to sign my life away to get Psudofed because of the STUPID meth makers.. GGGGGGGR!
I have given Thrive a passing glance but the whole pyramid scheme turns me off right at the start. And whoever said that it couldn't be because that is illegal, just look at Amway. |

Location: Aubrey, Texas | I have bad allergies and long ago learned that I can't take anything with ephedrine or pseudoephedrine in it. Yes, it opens up nasal passages but it makes me mean as a snake. I am normally a nice, quiet, easy going person but ephedra will make me bite someone's head off; therefore, as a public service, I always avoid it. |

Location: NC | I tried it for two months because a good friend of mine began using it about a year ago and had great results. Said she has sooooo much more energy she stopped drinking coffee and she lost 30lbs in a year and didn't change anything but adding thrive. she doesn't even ride as much as she use to.
When I took it I did not like how the promnotor pushed it and didn't have clear answers to my questions.
I did feel an increase in energy and felt much more focused and clear thinking.
but I gained 3lbs (which I have gained more since quiting so may not have been the cause) and couldn't afford the price tag. Exspecially since the main reason i wanted to take it was to lose weight and I gained it instead... |

Location: California | Garbage. And after a month of trying it and feeling like crap, I detoxed HARD.
But for every bad review there's someone who will move mountains to tell you it works. Just my experience. |

| I've been using it for over two years, it's been a game changer for me. Caffeine in energy drinks or coffee makes me groggy, so I was excited to find something that works for me. Much better energy, but I don't ever feel buzzed. No daily headaches, joints and muscles don't hurt, better digestion, I sleep better, more emotionally....stable, lol, and I feel joyful again,(I struggled before), my mind is clear and calm. I don't get sick. Everybody's different, but I'm sure glad I gave it a chance. My parents and quite a few friends love it too.

Location: Texas | I was skeptical also. But I love how it gives me energy, I detoxed, losing weight slowly, and sleeping so much better. I don't push it. When people ask me how I get my energy I tell them. If they want to try it I will help them. If not then no biggie. I think everyone is different like our horses. |

Location: South Dakota | I was on it for a year and three months...
Loved: Extra energy and focus. Was able to go off of caffeine for the first time ever! Made my joint paint non existent. I felt like a new woman from Day 1! Lost about 18 pounds. I was healthy... I teach school and am around sick kids and never got sick once last year.
Hate: Cannot afford it, cannot stand to push it on other people. If I forgot a day of my capsules I was worthless and had a migraine by the afternoon. Lost about 18 pounds but that was it.
I am now OFF of Thrive and admit I would still be on it if I could justify the $150 a month. I had a really rough week coming off it... felt like I was going to die. That makes me think there were things in it that I probably don't want to be addicted to? Not sure! But I did feel better when I was taking it.
Edited to add... I did not start taking Thrive to lose weight.

Location: Bastrop, Texas | You people who like certain diet pills and potients because it gives you "energy" really need to think twice. Does anyone remember "Soloslim"? People loved all that "energy boost" and "fat burning". Well, people started dropping like flies from all that "energy". That "energy" is from stimulants. Do you like meth? It's along those lines. There is no such thing as a "fat burning" supplement.
Put your brain back in your head, for goodness sakes.
There is no shortcut. Forget the pills and potients. If my ass is too fat, I need to stop eating like a fat glutton and get my fat lazy ass of the couch and burn some calories. Pick out a diet and move around more.
The last "Thrive" user I saw wound up flying off to a cath lab for stents. She was in her 30's. |

| Everyone says its an amazing product because they stopped drinking energy drinks/coffee....well of course, all your doing is taking it in a pill form. Believe it or not caffeine isn't the only thing that gives you energy.
If you stop taking the product and the symptoms are similar to a drug addict that stopped using, wouldn't that clue people in that it isn't a safe healthy product. |

Location: Huffman, Texas | I bought the whole shabang...the pills made me jittery, the patch was just a patch, but i did like the strawberry shakes. I mixed them with unsweetened almond mild, a package of stevia and 7-8 fresh strawberries all in the blender.. i still do the shake in the am..i drink it aboiut 9:30-10-am and then im good till about 2 pm. When I was doing the pills and patches and shakes, it actually revived my metabolism up and i was hungry all the time...that didnt work for me as i was not eating correctly..so for me, just the shakes. |
