I started taking it two years ago and it made me sick. I've had horrible stomach problems since starting as well as many other issues. All stopped when I finally stopped taking it. Every time I questioned whether it was the thrive, I was told what I was feeling was normal. Anyway, an autoship ran April 5th and I emailed immediately only to be told that even though it hadn't been shipped yet, they can't cancel me order. I was told that they had to ship it at my expense, then I had to ship it back and they would also be taking a 10% restocking fee. I still haven't received my refund. I had to message them two weeks after the products were delivered to their warehouse and ask for an update. Only then did they say that they would refund and the amount & I'm still waiting for one. Funny that Amazon and most other online retailers can cancel an order before it is shipped but Le-vel and all of their great "cloud" technology can't stop a shipment? The topper was the comments from the consultants that were offended by me sharing my less than great experience. Whoa! I guess it is normal to wait a month and a half & counting to get a refund on something?
I tried to like the Le-vel Thrive products (I tried the 8 week shake, patch, pill system as well as some of their other products.) because I saw people I know getting so pumped about them and making good money selling, so I thought " there must be something to this stuff!" That something is basically caffeine and some great vitamins that you can literally buy anywhere. The method to their madness is giving good money back to those who sell. People are nonstop pushing this stuff onto more and more people and are getting nice checks back from every sale - of course they push autoship on you and don't really discuss other options because then they are guaranteed to make more money off you! I went to one of the big Thrive rallies once when I thought I may be interested in selling too, but honestly it made my skin crawl. It is all about push, push, push to make more money; the focus is really not about health from what I could tell. Plus, I have friends who have experienced side effects from the products such as hemorrhoids, excessive heartburn, and even flare ups of digestive system problems but I when I asked about these, the promoter acted like that was absurd and couldn't possibly have been from the shake and excess vitamins, soy, and caffeine they had taken due to Le-vel Thrive. The system and those perky promoters with their lovely thrive patches are just darned good at convincing people that this stuff is great and they're laughing all the way to the bank while people take their caffeine vitamins and lose money unexpectedly.
I started thrive 2 week's ago. I have tried many weightloss programs and none have worked. I take anti-depressants daily and have gained weight do to the pills I take. The first few days were ok. I didn't feel different and didn't have more energy. I would say around day 4 or 5 I became very irritable. I didn't want to go to work and deal with the public. Almost everything set me off. Now mind you my depression medication helps control this. The symptoms got worse going forward. I would get light headed and dizzy, my heart was racing, I had shortness of breath and my chest felt heavy. I actually thought I needed to see my doctor to increase my dosage for my depression. I couldn't think rationally. So today I forgot to take the pills and change the patch. I got to work and was upset I forgot to stick with the new routine. Well for the first time in about 2 week's my chest isn't heavy and my heart isn't racing. I still had a foggy head and shortness of breath. Right now it's about 36 hours since I haven't had the pills and I'm feeling like me again. If this worked for some than fantastic but it's not for me and it might not be for you. If your having these issues stop using it, it's not you. I'm sad it took me 2 week's to realize what this was doing to me.
I really believe that the products work, but never sign up for autoship. Twice they sent me more than one order in a month, then claimed that I had set up more than one autoship, which I had not.
I am a single mom, also recovering addict who was addicted to coffee, had high stress levels, was vaping, and because of my stress I would go days without having a bowel movement. I have a very healthy diet, no fast food, low sugar, high fiber and protein, I drank plenty of water, but I still would be unable to go to the bathroom everyday, and i was always tired without coffee or nicotine. Well since I started thrive, I have been able to quit smoking and using nicotine, no desire, and I have quit drinking tons of coffee, I enjoy the occasional cup now. The best part is, I am able to have a bowel movement everyday. I have a lot more energy, and I do sleep better at night. When I was in active addiction I used to wake up and take pain pills or meth. Now im sober and I get to wake up and take my vitamins (thrive) in the morning which also helps me feel like I'm taking something that isn't a drug but fulfills that need. Thrive may not work for everyone. It is over priced unless you can sell it. I am an introvert so I do not promote it. In my opinion it pays for itself in the end. I do enjoy exercising and the capsules are good for a pre workout. I take the shake after my workout for recovery and then I add the patch. I wipe the area with alcohol first and that does help keep the patch in place. Anyway. I do love thrive.
BEWARE! They do not offer 100% Money Back Guarantee! If you return it open or used, even if you only use it once, you only get 50% back less shipping and handling and less 10% restocking fee!
Ive been thriving for more than 3 years and wont miss a day! Its made the biggest difference in my overall health, energy levels, and attitude. If youre no thriving, YOU SHOULD BE!
I was not only fooled into buying this once, but twice. The first time around, I was told that I may not be drinking enough water. Being the logical person that I am, I realized there could be some truth to that. I started off taking one pill, instead of the two.The first go around made me feel crappy, but not as bad as the second go-round. The second time, I followed the regimen straight by the book. I also drank a lot of water. I was even told to go ahead and take the two pills, instead of the one. When I say that I was in the bathroom a lot of the morning, this is no exaggeration. Day in and day out I kept trying and trying, until I couldn't stand another day. I was so wired, and exhausted by the end of it all. I threw the remaining thrive away. $150 worth. My BP was rising, I felt like a mental wreck, also, I had issues for over a week getting to sleep( sleeping was never an issue for me). I felt icky. The energy that I felt was not natural by any means. I could have given the remaining three weeks worth of supply away, however, I don't think ANYBODY should be taking this. My advice is this- drink water, eat clean, exercise and CONSULT your doctor. You do not need this to lose weight and be healthy.
Need a fone number and email to thrive le vel now I have a missing order I need my order to come to my home not where the person used to live not surviving this
I started theThrive experience a few months ago and I have been incredibly impressed. I have shared with my friends and family and they too have been amazed.
So I tried Thrive, the 3 step system, for the first month and thought, this is pretty expensive, how would the average person afford it and is it even worth it? I have fibro condition and thought that would be a good test. In the first month, I can only say that I felt a bit more clear-headed and had consistent energy. So okay, pretty good but I wasn't blown away as I had hoped to lose some weight and had been following eating and activity guidelines. My family member convinced me not to give up too quickly so I gave out the money for month two. At the end of the month I discovered some clothing was getting looser, and I had lost around 5 pounds although gradually over two months, so still not too impressed. Month 3 I continued, and I think the vitamins got me through some weeks when my energy was drained. A naturopath I see was very interested and I showed her the list of ingredients and she has been very supportive as I have low iron, D and thyroid. I do notice that I feel nauseous if I take the vitamins on an empty stomach so I take the shake at the same time as I put almond milk in my Thrive shake. So I am now into Month 4, have lost 7 pounds (not very impressive perhaps but given I have inflammation and low thyroid maybe notable). Anyways, I am not moving to the Duo patch with two parts and the weight loss improvements. I will see what the outcome is and report back.
Excellent company to be a part of! The CEO's give back SO MUCH to their employees and customers! I highly recommend being a part of this booming company!
I have been using the DFTs, shakes and pill packs for almost a year and then all of a sudden this past month my body decided to not like the patch any longer. I have 5 patch rashes and all I can do now is wait for them to go away. It's a shame because before the rash, I absolutely loved the energy I got from the patches so I was so good about using everyday. So I am not really complaining about the company but just that I know I am NOT detoxing and that's why I have rashes. I also cleansed the area well before and after application and did not wear for more than 8 hours. I am sad because like I said I really liked the energy. I do think there is something more to the rashes than what we are being told about "i't's only detox and that's a good sign." Then why didn't I have those rashes when I first tried? Just weird. Just not for me I guess. But if this review helps someone else, then that is why I posted. I know there are more out there who have the rashes but don't know where to post. I found this site by googling! LOL
I am reading a lot of these review where people are not happy with product. It takes 8 weeks for your bodies nutritional gaps to be filled. I was a skeptic too at first. I have energy and weight issues. I gave it a try and even though I did not see #'s coming off, I was seeing inches lost. I had less cogfog and more mental clarity. By day 15 I started to feel the energy that everyone was talking about. This new found energy allowed me to move more, which resulted in me being able to lose #'s. DFT DUO came out and this has been a lifechanger for me. Not only do I have energy but I have had to buy new clothes. I thrive for free because I shared with 2 others who are now Thriving with me - I only pay shipping. Yes everything is done online - support does not work weekends but they get to the online support tickets that are filed quickly. I looked at 4 months of pictures the other day and could not believe the transformation that was occurring. THRIVE gives me the Energy to work out and is helping me with cravings. I LOVE IT and will ALWAYS use it. In regards to lifestyle mix. Yes there are only 16 packets in box as its designed to take 4 days a week for 4 weeks. If you want to TONE, there is a tone package which gives you enough for a full lifestyle mix everyday or you can do what I do and take 1/2 a mix everyday.
My day is complete in the first 30 minutes of my day EASY EASY EASY
1. Take my lifestyle capsules - they jumpstart my day
2.30 minutes later I drink 1/2 of mix in almonds milk
3. Apply my DFT
DONE!
Ordered samples, received a box full of items instead. I logged into the "Cloud" and cancelled my credit card info through their 3rd party payer Pioneer. Yet they charged me $302 on auto debit AFTER I Cancelled my account not once but twice. They capture your CC info and once they get it its theirs to use how they wish. I had to cancel my card and order a new one. As far as the products, they are total CRAP. At first I tried samples through a promoter and thought I had more energy, so much that I could not sleep. Then I learned that I had rashes and high blood pressure. When I asked the promoter what was going on he told me it was "ALL IN YOUR HEAD"... well, now it is ALL IN THE TRASH! Don't waste your time with the MLM SCAMS- Countless FB posts of promoters lying about how great they feel and how rich they are... they are not getting rich folks, they are promoting poor health choices... like the poster says above, get out and exercise, smell the fresh air, save your hard earned money and dump these clowns.
I was promised I would receive a notification 3 days before my Auto ship on 6/25, I did not, so I got on my page and cancelled it for the next month. My consultant apologized and offered to purchase my products from me to prevent the headache of returning, we set up a date to meet up and she stopped responding all together.
So I set up a return for my unopened box, sent it Certified mail through USPS and the return was received on 7/20. On 7/25 I was again AUTO SHIPPED! I messaged my Consultant... Still no reply. I was out of town, so I returned the unopened box as soon as I got home, also sent certified. That shipment was received by their facility today and I still have not received a refund from my first return.
Besides all the hassel and loss of money from Auto Ships, I stopped using the products because I was breaking out in hives and tried weening them back in one at a time but they make me feel nauseated, and burn out around 3pm. My rash re-occured after building back up all the products so I determined this product is not for me.
Customer Service is terrible.
Thrive is a life changing company. The people truly care about health and wellness. They are always there to answer questions and encourage others.
It honestly boggles my mind when I hear a Thriver go on about how they "hate to put junk in there body." It's pretty hypocritical of any Thriver to say this. Then again, most of there statements are hypocritical across the board. Maltodextrin, surcalose, various "Gums", Bioperene, the large amounts of highly processed gums, and "natural" sweeteners. Sounds pretty healthy right? Might I add that almost every product contains some form of Caffiene, appetite suppressants, sleep aid, and pain suppressant. Now with the 10+ products they have, do you think it's healthy to keep stacking these on top of each other? How much White Willow Bark are you consuming? Do you even care? Probably not. Just take a leap of faith right. One of there criticism points made by promoters is you can't knock it until you try it is all built off of a fallacy. The fact that you can have 0 experience in the supplement field and then day 1 promote it should tell you something about its promoters, its down right dangerous and scary. I've seen countless medical claims or suggestions handed out by promoters that are illegal in the MLM world and against company policy. The mindless "entrepreneurs" that promote this product is comical. Please stay far away!
Answer: You would have to ask your Dr. that's what I did before I started.
Answer: This happens alot and they totally screw u on the refund. Check out the 199 complaints on BBB site. It's listed under LeVel Thrive. Promoters say they have no complaints and share some link to BBB for Thrive but the word thrive is not what they list as. Its a big scam. They say return the stuff fraud stuff that shipped and then still charge u shipping to send back, restocking fee, and take a percentage off so u get like half of the fraudulent charge. If card was charged and nothing came in mail they won't help. They keep saying it says it shipped send it back over n over.
Answer: It should be a clear backing on your patch. And it peels right off
Answer: Caffeine is an inhibitor to the formula that makes up the Thrive Experience. Staying away from extra caffiene & sugar along with drinking more water helps it work. I haven't touched coffee or sodas since I started 29 months ago. 28 of which I've been Thriving for free with the refer 2 rewards plan.
