Product Review: FRS
6 Jan
Sunday evening again… sigh.
On the bright side of things, I’ve got a great product review to share with you all tonight!
A few weeks ago, I was sent a variety of FRS products to sample and review.
What makes FRS different from other similar products on the market? It features quercetin. Okay, well what’s quercetin?! Here’s a quick explanation:
- It’s an antioxidant that’s found in many foods (blueberries, red apples, and grapes).
- It provides sustained energy, helps to increase endurance, and supports a healthy immune system.
FRS products use QU995 – the purest quercetin there is!
I was especially excited to try these products since I’m always look for ways to boost my energy.
Energy Products – available in bottles, cans, shots, soft chews, hard chews, concentrates, and powders
I was sent the bottles, soft chews, and hard chews to try. The drink was tasty, but I think I preferred the two different types of chews!
Pomegranate blueberry soft chews, taken pre-workout
Orange hard chews, taken pre-run
I was pleasantly surprised to find that both of these products gave me the advertised burst of energy. I don’t usually feel affected by products that claim to increase energy, but I tried both types of chews when I was feeling particularly lethargic, and I definitely noticed a difference.
Protein Products – available in bottles
I tried one of the protein bottles on a half-day at work. I wouldn’t be eating lunch at my usual time, and I need something to help tide me over. The blueberry acai shake didn’t disappoint – it helped power me through a morning of work and tasted great (just be sure to shake well!).
I’ve been saving the orange cream flavor because I think that sounds yummy and I have a tendency to try and hold on to a good thing for as long as possible. I know I can’t be the only person who does this! I’m probably going to cave and have it after BodyPump on Tuesday to refuel.
Weight Management Products – available in bottles and soft chews
The FRS weight management products contain slendesta, “an all-natural, vegetable protein that signals fullness to the brain.”
Although I’m not necessarily trying to lose weight, I was definitely feeling as though I needed some help getting things under control last week with all my holiday indulgences. I tried the strawberry melon drink (pictured at the opening of this post) with my lunch, and loved the taste! I also noticed that it helped me to feel less snacky throughout the day.
And last but not least…
Immunity Products – available in bottles
This is the only product that I wasn’t sent a sample of, but I’m thinking I might need to order some – have you heard how awful the flu is supposed to be this year?! These drinks promote immunity and the flavors sound amazing.
As for where you can find these products, you can search for local stores that carry FRS here, or order online here (free shipping on orders over $50!).
Have you tried FRS before? Thoughts? Which product would you most like to try? I’m thinking I’m going to have to replenish my stash of soft chews… stat!

I LOVE FRS!!!!! I used to buy it all the time when I was in the states (low cal drinks and the soft chews are my faves) but I can barely find them here in Canada. And when I do, they’re super expensive.
I plan on heavily re-stocking when I go home in a week!

I was a big fan of the soft chews too!
Do you know where they can be bought in the New England, US area?

It depends on where you’re at! They have a store locator that you can use to find retailers near you! http://www.frs.com/store-locator/
I’ve never actually heard of this product before (at least I don’t believe so), but it sounds awesome. I love all the health benefits that come along w/ it!
