My facebook is blowing up with testimonies from this supplement program and how great it makes people feel. My niece and nephew have jumped on the bandwagon. It all sounds good, but is it too good to be true? I looked online at the ingredients and they don't seem to be anything out of the ordinary.
Anyone have experience with this product line longer term than a year?
Just curious.

Wow, has no one heard of Thrive or know anything about it? I am going to get more information from my niece, but just wondered what the Peas know about this company/product.

Never heard of it but I just googled and it looks like plant-based, clean eating.....so it's probably good for you. I didn't read long enough to figure out how this is set up as a program?

I see it all over my FB too, but it seems like all the other MLMs and it will be gone in less than a year. I don't want anything pushed at me, and most of the fb stuff that I see is very much 'guilt you into it' sort of posts.

My dh and I tried it and for a month it seemed to work. More energy less appetite etc. But after that month we noticed zero difference. We got told to up your dose...but if that's the case it'll cost a fortune after 3 months! No problems stoppingnthe auto ship.

Thrive, Plexus, whatever.
All MLMs which, by itself, makes my radar go off. Knowing they are dietary supplements with MLM salespeople implying or outright making claims that are would not be FDA approved, makes it worse.
No product is going to be a miracle cure.

Needtime2scrap, That is the kind of information I was looking for. Facebook is full of testimonials, but they are all mostly just people beginning the program. I looked at the ingredients and already take some of those supplements. I am wondering if the time-release patch is what makes the difference because of how the supplements are absorbed by the body.

Good healthy foods sound better than supplements. I adore fruits and vegetables, the fresher the better!

I can't see my last post, so I'll post again. I already eat very clean most of the time. I was wondering if anyone else was noticing all the Facebook posts about this product. They are all current testimonials and I didn't see any long term testimonies.
Melissa - also wonder about those companies making claims without FDA approval.
