SO , I have been asked this question a lot lately in regards to how the Thrive Experience is comparable to a cheaper alternative on the vitamin shelf at walmart or GNC for example. The answer is fairly simple actually. Thrive utilizes pharmaceutical strength supplements/nutrition So you can better understand it here you go: Nutritional supplements are typically available in four different categories: pharmaceutical grade, medical grade, cosmetic or nutritional grade, and feed or agricultural grade. Pharmaceutical grade is the highest quality grade of vitamins, meaning the purity, dissolution and absorption meet the highest regulatory standard verified by an outside party. Pharmaceutical grade vitamins may be available without a prescription, but they are typically only sold by licensed health care practitioners. Medical grade vitamins are also a high-grade vitamin, although they may not meet all of the standards of pharmaceutical grade vitamins. Prenatal vitamins typically fall into this category. Cosmetic or nutritional grade supplements are typically sold in health food stores. These supplements might not always be tested for absorption, dissolution or purity. Additionally, these supplements do not always have the same concentrations of active ingredients as what is listed on the label. Feed or agricultural grade supplements are produced for veterinary use, and patients should not use this grade of supplement [Source: Smith].
