If you want to see glowing, exciting reviews for the Le-Vel Thrive series of products, you don’t have to look very far. Le-Vel Thrive reviews and testimonials crowd social media feeds, and high-energy ‘promoters’ are always more than happy to share inspiring personal stories of a life completely turned around. But the truth is that reviews aren’t always the best way to evaluate a product’s effectiveness.
So, if we’re not necessarily going to be taking a bunch of reviews at face value, how can we decide whether we want to give Le-Vel a try? Well, let’s start by looking at the product itself: the Le-Vel Thrive Experience.
What Is the Thrive Experience?
What is Thrive? The Le-Vel website describes it as “a premium daily lifestyle plan to help individuals experience and reach peak physical & mental levels.” Further clarification describes the plan as consisting of “THRIVE Premium Lifestyle Capsules, THRIVE Ultra Micronized Lifestyle Shake Mix, and our Premium Lifestyle DFT (Derma Fusion Technology),” and providing “premium naturopathic and synergistic formula of Vitamins, Minerals, Plant Extracts, Anti-oxidants, Enzymes, Pro-Biotics, and Amino Acids.”
So, once you get past the wordiness, the Thrive Experience is basically a nutritional plan that consists of dietary supplements in three primary forms: capsules, shake mix, and DFT (more on those in a bit). There is a bit more to it than this — the Thrive Experience incorporates personalized goals, for example — but at their heart, it is designed to fill nutrition gaps and meet dietary needs that may be lacking while giving an added boost in certain (often-neglected) areas.
How Is Thrive Sold?
We mentioned above that Le-Vel Thrive reviews are easy to find and generally very positive. This may be a result of the quality of the product, but it might also have something to do with how Le-Vel Thrive is sold.
Le-Vel uses a multi-level, direct-selling business model. It’s not a pyramid scheme by any means, because it actually does provide valuable products and focuses primarily on selling rather than recruiting. And while many Le-Vel customers are also Le-Vel promoters, there are thousands of ‘Thrivers’ who do not actually work for the company. So, how can you tell which ones are reviewing and promoting the product to increase their business, and which ones are genuinely enthusiastic about their results?
Well, ideally there should be a lot of overlap — many sellers probably start as satisfied customers before they take the next step. But the fact is that this may throw the objectivity of certain Le-Vel Thrive reviews into question. After all, direct selling provides a number of advantages to businesses, contractors, and customers, but it can make it slightly more difficult to take customer reviews at face value.
So, instead of focusing on the reviews, let’s dive deeper into the product itself.
Capsules, and Shakes, and DFT (Oh My!)
As we said, the Thrive Experience is made up of three primary products, designed for daily use. Again, these are essentially nutritional supplements, and Le-Vel makes a point of clarifying that every ingredient is safe and natural, with no recognized side effects. But what ingredients are we talking about, exactly?
Capsules
Thrive Premium Lifestyle Capsules are made up of vitamins, minerals, amino acids, enzymes, and probiotics. These are the things we mentioned early that fill the nutritional gaps that many people have in their diets. But the capsules include other ingredients as well: chromium, selenium, vanadium, glucosamine, kelp, and other natural ingredients. When used in conjunction, these ingredients may help support increased joint function, improve digestion, and boost the immune system.
From a dietician’s standpoint, each of these nutrients is beneficial for healthy living, lending credence to the idea that Le-vel may really be on the level.
Shake Mix
The lifestyle mix (think of it as a meal-replacement protein shake) is a probiotic-enzyme blend high in antioxidants. The shake also includes many of the same nutrients found in the capsules but is more focused on supporting weight management and lean muscle support. Other ingredients include various natural extracts as well as natural caffeine from black tea (to provide a little boost for those who might be having trouble getting up to speed in the morning).
Again, the ingredients lists don’t seem to contain anything suspicious.
DFT
The Thrive Lifestyle DFT is an adhesive plaster designed to be worn on the skin and replaced every 24 hours. DFT stands for dermafusion technology (a proprietary invention of Le-Vel’s that is fundamentally different from traditional transdermal patches), and the Le-Vel website says that it’s “designed to infuse the derma (skin) with Le-Vel’s unique, premium grade THRIVE Lifestyle formula.”
And what does the ‘THRIVE Lifestyle formula’ consist of? Once again, it looks like it’s just natural ingredients like coffee bean extract, ForsLean, aloe vera, l-arginine, limonene, white willow bark, cosmoperine, and various essential nutrients. A little research on each demonstrates that these ingredients are not only safe when used as directed, but that they are also capable of delivering on other promises as well, namely aiding in health, wellness, weight management, and overall nutritional support.
In other words, when we look past the reviews, past the hype, and past the packaging at the actual ingredients, Le-Vel’s claims seem to hold up pretty well.
Fine. But Does It Actually Work?
Sometimes reviews can be misleading. Even scientific research can be misrepresented or misinterpreted. So how exactly is someone supposed to figure out whether Le-Vel Thrive actually works or not?
There’s always the direct approach.
As said, the chances of experiencing negative side effects from the ingredients in Le-Vel Thrive products vary based on personal allergies or sensitivities, but reports of side effects are virtually nonexistent. So, trying it for yourself really isn’t much of a risk. The Thrive Experience is currently available in either two- or four-week packages with no need to commit to recurring orders. And, if the positive Le-Vel reviews really are being honest, then two to four weeks should be more than enough time to figure out just how on the level Thrive actually is. Because after all, if you really want to know if it’s going to work for you, you’re going to have to try it for yourself.
And once you do, feel free to drop a review letting the rest of us know exactly how it went.
