uThriv’s co-founder Joe Tessin reached out to BehindMLM in October 2023, a decade after the site first reviewed his company. Tessin cited significant company growth and improvements since the initial 2014 assessment, requesting a fresh look. This review examines the changes uThriv has implemented, focusing on its product line and compensation structure.
The company’s initial product offerings were confusing, prompting a critical review title in 2014. That energy-saving product line appears to be gone. Today, the uThriv website features information on water and nutrition supplements. One featured product, +5, is described as being made of 100% active ingredients without fillers or water. It is presented as a concentrated nutritional supplement to be added to beverages or foods like yogurt and smoothies. The company suggests it can contribute to improvements in diabetic conditions, chronic inflammation, blood pressure, and mental clarity, while carefully avoiding direct medical claims.
uThriv Nutritionals are marketed as high-quality supplements at affordable prices. The company states its formulations strategically combine natural elements containing therapeutic levels of active ingredients, contrasting this with products that use only minimal amounts of popular components. uThriv emphasizes the use of pure forms of vitamins, minerals, and herbs in its life-enhancing products. However, retail pricing is not listed on the uThriv website. Visitors attempting to purchase products are required to enter an affiliate referral code.
The uThriv compensation plan documentation available on its website is a summary and lacks detailed explanations. Analysis of the current plan, using older documents as a reference, reveals a 10% retail commission for affiliates on products sold to retail customers. The plan also includes a "Team Builder Bonus" paid to affiliates as they build their downline. To qualify for this bonus, recruited affiliates must purchase a Team Builder Pack and be placed on both sides of the binary structure. The bonus amounts are tiered: $50 for the first recruited affiliate on both sides, and $250 for the subsequent two on each side, totaling five recruited affiliates on both sides.
