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!
Beware of the Thrive cult. |

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 |

Ive seen it ruin good friendships, which is sad. |

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.... |

Location: Aubrey, Texas | Before you try any product like this, do your homework. Thrive contains an ingredient called Bitter Orange. (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.  |

Which is so typical of a push, push pyramid-type scheme. I'm happy for those who use it and are happy with it but no, I'm not interested in selling - ANYTHING! |

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. |

I think being in public service might be a reason TO take it! LOL  |

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... |

Wish more people would look at labels... |

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. |
