| I was so sick and miserable on this product. I only took half of what was suggested and I thought I was going to have a heart attack. It's just like any "magic pill" scam out there, except I think thrive promotors might be the most annoying.
Be careful and look into the ingredients. Sure there are vitamins, but just because you sprinkle some vitamins on crack it doesn't make it good for you. |

Location: SE KS | I used thrive - I only took one pill and did not do the patch nor the shake - all that was too much for me..... it worked for me for awhile.
It did give me energy and clarity - but I just couldn't afford it.

Location: South Dakota | I was on Thrive for a year and a half... then decided to go off because I was hearing that I was filling myself with unhealthy stimulants. Well... after 8 months off, I recently went back on it. I greatly benefit from lack of joint pain, next to no migraines, and an improved digestive system. I have better mental clarity and so much more energy to get through my day. It lifts what I feel was mild depression due to being tired. I was really battling migraines when I decided to start Thrive. I felt I had nothing to lose!
I am a firm believer that a good, healthy diet and ample excercise is the way to go, but I SUCK at that! Horrible will power too!
I take one capsule in the morning and the second one around 2:00. It is suggested to take both capsules in the morning, however... I am a special education teacher who sits at a table to work with kids most of the day. I had way too much energy with two capsules in the morning to want to sit. The 2:00 capsule gives me a boost to finish out my day. I used to have a 5:00 crash before I started Thrive. I do wear the patch, and sometimes drink the mix. I cut way back on what I eat when I drink the mix. I like the vanilla flavor in really cold skim milk... yummy!
If I miss taking a capsule I start getting a headache. Yep, just like when I had caffeine withdrawals.
I am around kids who bring all kinds of germs to school, and my immunity system has been the best it ever has in 20+ years of teaching. I felt the benefits on Day 1 of taking it when my horribly arthritic ankle didn't hurt for the first time in years.
It doesn't really help me with weight loss. I think some people do lose weight because they become more active. I have the same amount of activity as I did Pre-Thriv,e but just do not feel as tired doing it.
I do not spend money on any of the "extras" they promote. I have no problems sleeping at night. Their sales pitch was the three steps: capsule, patch, drink mix. Kind of made me wonder why the created all the extra stuff when the three steps are supposed to be all you need. I realize people benefit from different things.
I am a horrible salesmen and do not get free product. It stretches my budget to afford what I take. A lot of promises/pepe talks are made that you are going to get people to join in and you will get free product, but I didn't have success with that. However, when I went off Thrive I bought a daily vitamin and a joint supplement that were just about as much as I was spending on Thrive. I gave up my daily gas station cappacino and I quit drinking pop. So I have savings there.
I have plenty of friends who didn't feel any benefits or felt too jittery on it. It obviously doesn't work the same for everyone. Good luck in what you decide to do! |

Location: Idaho | I have tried it as well. I got a week long sample, well, the first two days I was okay. By the third, my whole body ached and I was light headed, in pain and nauseous. I had to go home from work that day.
Went the next day and started my own vitamins that I had been taking, felt 100% better.
I watch so many people feel great on it, but if you actually look it up there are so many bad reviews on the product. It has a ton of stimulants in it, 1667% of B12 in it of your daily value. I feel like it would kill you eventually if you take it long enough. |

| B12 is a water soluble vitamin and in most cases is safe, even in large doses. Your body will absorb what is needed and the rest will be excreted. In some cases I guess it could cause palpitations for some, but as a general rule its likely not from the B12. |

| I tried it and kept me up all night, and my pulse was higher than it normally is. If anyone is interested I have packets of the capsules, shake packets and the booster drinks that I will sell. |
