Our patented formula

FRS uses a scientifically advanced, patented formula developed by health scientists that features the all-natural antioxidants quercetin and green tea extract, plus seven essential vitamins.

Let's start with quercetin

Quercetin is a revolutionary, all-natural antioxidant found in foods such as blueberries and apples. With over 20,000 scientific studies on the benefits of quercetin, scientists believe it works at the cellular level to produce and sustain your own natural energy by enhancing the production of mitochondria, the energy-producing units in our cells.

Another antioxidant powerhouse

Green Tea Extract, like quercetin, is an all-natural antioxidant. Unlike black or oolong tea, green tea is not fermented and is instead typically created by steaming fresh leaves at high temperatures. Because of this low impact process, all the antioxidant properties remain intact and health benefits are maximized.

Completing the formula

Vitamins are the third and equally important component of the FRS formula. While critical to any complete nutrition program, vitamins cannot be produced by the body. Today, diet alone doesn’t usually provide adequate vitamins so dietary supplements like FRS have become staples of a balanced diet. FRS contains seven essential vitamins: B1, B2, B3, B6, B12, C and E.

These powerful ingredients work together at the cellular level to deliver the following amazing results:

30

Reduction in mental fatigue*

3

Increase in time trial performance**

17

Improvement in concentration*

4

Increase in maximal aerobic capacity***

13

Increase in endurance performance***

Quercetin Benefits

QU995 The World’s Purest Quercetin® has been widely studied and proven to provide a host of benefits that support health and boost performance.

LONG-LASTING, NATURAL ENERGY

A randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, crossover study of 12 healthy, active (but not highly trained) men and women who took 1000 mg of quercetin per day for 7 days found improvements in endurance, VO2max and treadmill time trial performance.***

IMPROVED ATHLETIC PERFORMANCE

A double-blind, placebo-controlled, crossover study of 11 elite cyclists who took 250 mg of quercetin twice daily for 42 days. The study's results demonstrated an improvement in cycling time trial performance over the last 5km.**

INCREASED MENTAL FUNCTION

A randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, crossover study of 33 university employees - non-athletes, working class, skilled trade professionals, ages 29-63 years - who took 500 mg of quercetin per day for 24 days. The study reported a reduction in mental fatigue and an improvement in concentration.*

IMMUNE SYSTEM SUPPORT

A randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical study of forty test subjects. Subjects were subjected to extreme physical stress during a five-week period. Half were given 1,000 mg of quercetin daily and half were given a placebo. The quercetin group exhibited overall better health than the placebo group.****
