    Could someone give me the 'Reader's Digest condensed version' of what Thrive is? Is this a combination of supplements and shakes?

    MLM/pyramid scheme. Similar to Shakeology, Body by Vi, Herbalife, It Works, etc. made with low quality ingredients with outrageous claims not backed by science.

    ^ This.

    Another MLM scam sold by "friends" with no training in nutrition and "thrive" on selling to the gullible and/or others with very little to no nutrition knowledge.

    When I was a teenager I tried my first "diet". I heard something from someone somewhere that Vitamin E capsules helps with weight loss so I bought a bottle. I lost weight like crazy, I later developed an ED and was so obsessed with my Vitamin E capsules that I even hid them from my parents.

    So what's the point of my story? It's the placebo effect aka mind over matter. Vitamin E does not make you lose weight, I was just an uneducated 15 year old kid. Please don't take my comment as calling you "uneducated". I merely mean to say sometimes we just don't know everything we should know about the things we put into our bodies. So I would just be sure and do as much homework on it as possible.

    +100 not to mention its full of stimulants and woo(ingredients that claim to help with weight loss but are not proven) and thats just the vitamins. how is that even healthy/all natural? also the side effects from some of the ingredients are scary as hell. low blood sugar,low blood pressure, headache,dizziness,nausea,heart palpatations, liver issues,etc,etc.
