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)

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        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.
