Wondering if anyone has used this nutrient test....it appeared on my FB page
Price seems very reasonable!
But, I'm doubtful about their use of the word " subscription"....looks as if it ties one into regular test kit purchases rather than a one-off purchase.
Thank you.
It seems to me that they enrol you in a subscription automatically and if you don’t cancel it within 14 days you will be charged? I didn’t find their tests very exhaustive. Just some useful vitamins and cholesterol but might have that wrong? It seems like it’s a gateway test to try and sell you their supplements that they’ll sell to you off the back of your results.
Pretty much my thoughts....
The (limited) nutrient/ cholesterol tests fulfill my requirements right now but the subscription approach put me off!
I agree it does seem to be a " carrot" to catch product sales.
Must confess, didn't digest all the small print....should know better!! Blush!!
Thank you for replying, you've confirmed my doubts!
not at all! I blush I have nothing better to do on my Sunday than read ts and cs 😂
It might actually be worth it to buy the test, get the nutrient panel you need and then cancel the subscription as soon as you’ve purchased it, but I’m not sure how their turnaround time works and if you cut off the subscription before the results are available then you’d be a bit screwed out of money… and I wouldn’t put it past them to have created it so. Everything is subscription these days.
I did consider a single order but didn't want to play their silly games or have a hassle over a cancellation.
Nothing is straightforward these days....the older I get the more I notice this.
Still....it's a beautiful autumn day!
Thank you.
Thriva uses a subscription model for their business as well. I've never used it so I have no idea how easy it is to cancel.
I wouldn't trust their tests, because their underlying agenda is to sell you personalised nutritional supplements.
Indeed, though the tests are supposed to be accredited.
Binned that idea!!
I have used Thriva ….it’s easy to cancel and just do a one off
Thank you....will look!
Do not trust them. They changed their registered address on 3 August 2022.

If they can't even manage that basic legal requirement, I despair.
While I dislike TrustPilot in general, have a read of their numerous low rankings. (Amid all too many of the amazingly unhelpful "Wow, something arrived!" positive reviews.)
And their automatic imposition of subscriptions is not an approach I find acceptable.
Plus, when I had a look, they automatically offered a vitamin C supplement. Just why would they do that without knowing anything about me - considering their main claim is personalised nutrition!
I had my suspicions....hence the post!
So many unscrupulous traders around....buyer beware!
Ah well....maybe this might help others
Thank you helvella as always.
your detective work is admirable! So glad to have such a brain on the thyroid team!
