Things that don’t exactly inspire confidence in a health supplement startup: 1. Goop endorsement(?) featured on landing page 2. Dedicated “Science” page redirects to a Lorem Ipsum generator site (https://loremipsum.io/)

@simonkabey Hi Simone, thanks for your comment. I can understand the stigma behind Goop in certain regards. For #1: We were featured as a review on their site and wanted to highlight multiple areas of recommendations. On #2: Our science page can be found here: https://www.thryveinside.com/pag..., can you let me know which page you are referencing?

@simonkabey @parterburn Hi Paul / Simone, that was a bug on our end for the science on mobile nav. Thanks for catching it and bringing to my attention. We've since fixed it. Thanks for being an awesome part of the PH community!

Super stoked to share Thryve with the PH community! 🍻 We are on a mission to transform the quality of life for people dealing with microbiome related disorders. A bit about us: I’m the CEO and Founder and 4 years ago I took antibiotics and ended up in the hospital from a superbug called C Diff (which has half a million cases per year in the US). After being dismissed by 3 doctors that I was “too young and healthy looking” to be sick, I sought out other folks dealing with chronic illness. During this search, I realized the importance of the microbiome (bacteria, yeast, and viruses) and its role on our health. There wasn’t a good product out there that combined the science with a stellar user experience, thus I started Thryve to meet that need. I've partnered with leading scientists in the field and our Head of Research and Development is a Ph.D. from Yale in Chemistry and has several years of scientific experience in Pharma, VMS, and CPG companies. Furthermore, we built a team of scientific advisers, who are respective in the field of the microbiome: Carolyn M. Slupsky, Ph.D. - Professor at UC Davis Department of Nutrition under the Slupsky Lab. Dr. Slupsky’s research is on the impact of human diet and the microbiome from the perspective of nutrition, the gut microbiome, and host-microbial co-metabolism. Timothy K. Lu, MD, Ph.D. - Associate Professor at MIT Biological Engineering Department, Harvard M.D. and MIT Ph.D.. Dr. Lu’s research is around Synthetic Biology and Bacteriophages. CEO @Senti Biosciences, Engine Biosciences, and Tango Therapeutics. Jochen Kumm, Ph.D. - Stanford and Harvard trained Biological Sciences. Expert in Computational Biology and AI at Vercyte, IBM, NGX Bio. Mitesh Rao, M.D. - Thomas Jefferson University and Yale School of Medicine. Previously, Chief Patient Safety and Assistant Professor at Stanford. Currently, CEO @OMNY Thryve’s Gut Health Products are: 🥼Scientifically-backed: Powered by publicly available research, our recommendations are powered by 50k+ microbiome research articles. 🧬 Personalized: Customized food and probiotic recommendations based on both your microbiome and lifestyle data. 🔍Transparent Recommendations: Our AI algorithm grades all the available research on the microbiome to provide a “how far is the science” on each recommendation.

Pretty sure C Diff does not kill half a million Americans a year
Richard Lin
@rainercta Hi Alan, thanks for replying. Apologies that was a mistake on my end. I meant to say half a million confirmed cases in the US per year.

Feedback on the ordering process: When purchasing a product that costs >$100, I always find it remarkably disappointing that the $3-$4 cost for shipping is not baked into the product's price. If I'm spending this much money, shipping should be "free". I shouldn't have an extra expense tacked on when I reach the shipping screen.
Richard Lin
@magnuson Hi Charles, appreciate the feedback. Since our testing has 2 way shipping costs (to the customer and back to the lab), we have it as an additional on the price. That said, we only charge shipping for one-way (to your door), while we cover the cost back to the lab.
Aaron Lee D'Souza
Just want to flag that these comments flooding in seem very sketchy. Many of them are from brand new accounts with no activity other than upvoting and commenting on this product. PH community, proceed with caution.
Richard Lin
@aaroniclee Hi Aaron, thanks for your comment. We did announce to our customers we are on Product Hunt so many of them came to show their support. Most of our customers aren't active users of PH so that may be the reason why their activity is low.

Finally, a health app that takes a look at my gut. I heard of these people through a friend of a friend and decided to check it out. I took my test, and I actually had no idea I was lacking in all these bacterias. They allow you to see your stats on individual bacteria, down to the genus and species, which is super useful. I'm not a science guy, but this def clears a lot about my gut for me!
Richard Lin
@johnnywongboy Glad to hear about your experience Jon!
Daphne Carmeli
it makes me feel awesome!
Richard Lin
@daphne_carmeli You make us feel awesome!
Zack Arnold
Big fan of Thryve, their probiotics have helped my gut substantially!
Richard Lin
@theperfectjean Thank you for the kind words Zack! Glad our program has been able to help!
Mike Kupec
I love the in-depth results you get with Thryve. I've never seen another company before that provides such insight into my health. Also love the personalization aspect of the probiotics. It's the perfect way to find balance in the body!
Richard Lin
@mike_kupec Balance is key and glad we could help you get there!
Yu-Chun Wei
super helpful to improve my gut health!
Richard Lin
@yu_chun_wei Thank you for the kind words Yu-Chun!
Nancy Bonsai
My Dr prescribed probiotics but just the over-the-counter stuff. I can appreciate that this is much more customized to myself after sending them a sample. Thank you Thryve.
Richard Lin
@basicbonsai Thank you for the kind word Nancy! Glad to hear the OTC guys don't stand a chance!
Michael Deranek
Love the product, favorite part is how they show me what I’m deficient in and supplies probiotics that will specifically help me. Definitely helps me understand what’s going on in my body more and informs me on how to live healthier.
Richard Lin
@michael_deranek It's all about empowering each person to take control of their gut health. Thanks for the kind words!
Vedran Burojević
Any plans to provide sample shipping outside USA? That would really be great.
Richard Lin
@burojevic Hi Vedran, great question. We do offer shipping to outside the USA at the moment. Only issue is our lab is based in the US so the turnaround for results is a bit longer (30% more).
Soraya Darabi
Understanding your gut health is super important. This company approaches the SCIENCE of gut health with accessibility and transparency. Love how personalized the product is - my first customized probiotic (and now I wont go back to generic). Their list of food ingredients is comprehensive, impressive too.
Richard Lin
@sorayadarabi Thanks for the kind words Soraya. Science is at the forefront of what we are doing for the microbiome and more specifically probiotics. Probiotics may get a bad rep at times, but we are looking to change that.
Molly O'Shea
Most comprehensive and actionable data I’ve received about my health - better mood, weight management and understanding of why certain foods don’t agree with me. Probiotic subscription is really convenient & food recommendations are helpful, but also love all of the health data & resources available.
Richard Lin
@molly_o_shea1 The gut is so amazing! How it's connected to our brain, immune system, weight, and more. Glad to hear our test is not only helping you learn more about your gut, but also giving you the actionable information to improve!
Maximo Dalmau
I'm a biologist and what I like most about Thryve is the raw data. In the past year I been able to try different diets and watch my bacterial community change. The service is great and every time I had an issue or question they been attended immediately. Kudos. Looking forward to the moment they add fungi to their test (don't care about viruses or parasites, although they have influence too). So far Thryve has been a partner helping me find my balance with these endosymbiotic communities. So looking forward to more years of testing and achieve my optimal gut homeostasis.
Richard Lin
@maximo_dalmau Love it! Great to hear our focus on science and providing transparency in the research is helping in your microbiome research!
Dustin Nguyen
