Frequense Review: Should You Trust This “Frequency-Charged” MLM?

Welcome to my Frequense Review!

Ever scrolled through social media and seen someone raving about supplements that are “charged with harmonic frequencies” to tune your body like a musical instrument?

Maybe they talked about a mushroom drink called Rise that supposedly elevates your mind, or mentioned earning money while sharing “frequency-charged nutrition” with others?

Did they use phrases like “raise your vibration” and “feel the frequency” while showing off sleek product packaging?

If this sounds familiar, you’re doing the right thing by researching before jumping in. Frequense has taken an interesting approach to the wellness market, combining trendy ingredients like mushrooms and collagen with concepts around frequency and vibration.

Let’s explore what this company really offers, how the business opportunity works, and whether it’s actually a viable way to earn income.

First, Let’s Talk About MLM (Don’t Worry, I’ll Keep It Simple)

Before diving into Frequense specifically, you need to understand what kind of business opportunity you’re considering. Frequense operates as a Multi-Level Marketing company. If that term is new to you, here’s the straightforward explanation.

In MLM, you earn money in two ways. First, you sell products to customers and collect commissions on those sales—that’s basic retail. Second, you recruit other people to sell products too. When they make sales, you earn a percentage of their revenue. And when those people recruit others, you can earn from those sales as well. This creates multiple “levels” of people in your organization, which is where the name comes from.

The structure looks like a pyramid or tree, with you at the top and your team branching out below you. In theory, as your team grows and makes sales, your income grows without you having to do all the selling yourself. That’s the appealing part.

However, here’s the challenge: In pyramid-shaped organizations, most people end up at the bottom. And statistically, people at the bottom struggle to make meaningful income. We’ll dig into the real numbers later, but first, let’s understand what Frequense is actually offering.

The Company Behind the Products

The Founders and Their Vision

Frequense was founded by Dave and Barb Pitcock, a married couple with over 30 years of experience in the health and wellness industry. According to the company’s website, their journey started with a question: “What if we could combine the power of frequency with nutrition?” This question led them to create what they describe as a new category in health and wellness.

The Pitcocks aren’t newcomers to the direct selling world. In fact, they’ve been involved in the industry for decades and have worked with various companies. On one hand, their experience means they understand how network marketing works, which can be viewed as both positive (they know what they’re doing) and a consideration (they’ve been through multiple ventures).

The Company’s Mission and Values

Frequense positions itself as more than just a product company—they call it a “movement.” The company emphasizes four core values:

Holistic wellness: Creating products that support overall well-being, not just isolated symptoms.

Integrity and transparency: Providing science-backed products with clear information about ingredients and processes.

Community and connection: Building a supportive environment where people can thrive together.

Sustainability: Ensuring products are GMO-free, dairy-free, soy-free, gluten-free, sugar-free, vegan, and keto-friendly.

The company launched in late 2023 with just two products (Rise and Source). According to press releases, they generated over $1 million in their beta launch in November 2023, expanding to more than $2 million by their March 2024 pre-launch. These are impressive numbers for a startup, though it’s worth noting that early MLM sales often come primarily from new affiliates purchasing products rather than from retail customer demand.

Understanding “Frequency-Charged Nutrition”

The Core Concept

Here’s where Frequense gets interesting. The entire brand is built around something they call “frequency-charged nutrition.” According to their website, they view the body as “a symphony of unique frequencies,” with each cell vibrating at its own frequency. The idea is that stress, poor diet, and environmental factors can disrupt these frequencies, throwing your body out of balance.

Frequense claims their products use “harmonic frequencies” to help restore this balance. Here’s how they explain it works:

Harmonic frequencies: They use technology to “tune eleven harmonic frequencies” into their products. These are supposedly carefully selected to resonate with the body’s natural energy fields.

Synergistic ingredients: They combine these frequencies with plant-based ingredients that work together to enhance the effects.

Mineral richness: Their products include essential minerals to support various body functions.

Quality standards: Everything is free from GMOs, gluten, soy, dairy, and sugar.

The Scientific Reality

Now, let’s talk honestly about the science. The concept of “frequency-charged nutrition” sits in the alternative wellness space. While the company presents this as innovative and science-backed, it’s important to understand that this represents a different approach to health than conventional medicine.

The idea that everything vibrates at specific frequencies is rooted in physics—atoms and molecules do vibrate. However, the claim that supplements can be “charged” with beneficial frequencies that then affect your body’s cellular vibration is not something you’ll find in peer-reviewed medical journals or supported by mainstream scientific consensus.

This doesn’t necessarily mean the products don’t work or that people don’t experience benefits. Indeed, many customers report positive results. That said, those benefits could come from the actual ingredients (mushrooms, minerals, collagen, etc.) rather than from frequency-charging specifically. The ingredients themselves do have research supporting various health benefits.

When evaluating Frequense, you need to decide where you stand on alternative wellness concepts. Are you comfortable promoting products based on this frequency approach? Can you authentically explain it to potential customers? These are important questions to consider.

What You’d Actually Be Selling

Rise – The Flagship Product

Rise ($99.99, or $89.99 with subscription) is Frequense’s main product—a mango-lemonade-flavored powdered drink mix. The formula contains:

• Seven organic mushrooms (lion’s mane, cordyceps, reishi, and others)
• B-vitamins
• 100mg of caffeine from organic green coffee bean extract
• “Harmonic frequencies” (according to the company)

The product is positioned as a cognitive enhancer for mental clarity, focus, and brain health. The mushroom blend is the real star here. Mushrooms like lion’s mane have legitimate research supporting cognitive benefits. Cordyceps is studied for energy support. These are trendy ingredients in the wellness space right now, and many people do experience benefits from mushroom supplements.

At $100 per month, this is premium pricing. You can find mushroom nootropic blends elsewhere for $30-60. The frequency-charging is what Frequense uses to justify the higher price point.

Source Trace Minerals

Source ($49.99, or $44.99 with subscription) is a trace mineral supplement containing potassium, magnesium, iron, calcium, and zinc. The company claims it supports:

• Bone health
• Gut function
• Skin health
• pH balance
• Detoxification
• Nutrient absorption

Trace minerals are genuinely important for health. This is a more straightforward product—minerals your body needs, delivered as a supplement. The pricing is higher than many mineral supplements you’d find at health food stores, but it’s not outrageously expensive.

Revrs – The Premium Anti-Aging Formula

Revrs ($169.99, or $152.99 with subscription) is the highest-priced product—an anti-aging supplement with NAD+ precursors. Key ingredients include:

• AC-11 (Uncaria tomentosa extract)
• NMNH
• Deazaflavin Pro
• L-Ergothioneine

The product makes bold claims about DNA repair, cellular energy, and reducing visible signs of aging. NAD+ and its precursors have become very popular in the anti-aging space, with some research supporting their benefits for cellular health. However, at $170 per month, you’re paying a significant premium.

Sync Collagen Sticks

Sync ($99.99 for 21 sachets) combines:

• Collagen peptides
• Magnesium
• GABA
• Sleep-supporting compounds (including CBD and CBN in some formulations)

This is positioned as a nighttime recovery product for skin, joints, and sleep quality. Collagen supplements are extremely popular, and the additional sleep-supporting ingredients make this more comprehensive than basic collagen. At about $4.75 per serving, it’s premium-priced but includes multiple ingredients.

EMF Armour

EMF Armour ($39.99 for two patches, or $35.99 with subscription) are electromagnetic field protection patches made with layered minerals and metals.

Let’s be straightforward about this product. EMF protection is a controversial category. While EMF radiation from devices is real, scientific consensus indicates that the levels from normal electronic devices aren’t harmful to human health. Products claiming to protect against EMF through patches or stickers are not recognized as effective by mainstream science. This product appeals to people concerned about technology and radiation, but it’s important to understand the scientific perspective.

The Quality Factor

One positive aspect worth noting: Frequense products are manufactured to high standards. Everything is:

• GMO-free
• Gluten-free
• Soy-free
• Dairy-free
• Sugar-free
• Vegan
• Keto-friendly

These certifications matter to many health-conscious consumers. The company does appear to prioritize clean ingredients and quality manufacturing.

The Real Cost of Joining

Getting Started as an Affiliate

To become a Frequense affiliate, you pay a $49.99 membership fee. This is actually quite reasonable compared to many MLM companies that charge hundreds or thousands for starter packs. The basic entry point is genuinely affordable.

The Monthly Requirement (This Is Important)

However, here’s where things get more expensive. According to the compensation plan, to earn certain bonuses (specifically the “Team Rewards” bonus), you need to spend at least $100 on products every month.

Now, the rank advancement chart shows that some lower ranks require only $50 per month. However, the compensation plan clearly states that full commission participation requires $100 monthly. This is what industry watchdogs call “pay to play.”

What does this mean practically? You’re required to purchase $100 worth of products each month to stay fully active in the commission structure. That’s $1,200 per year. For most people starting out, this money will come out of pocket because you won’t have enough customers yet to generate that volume through sales.

Let’s be clear about what you’re actually signing up for financially:

Year 1 minimum expenses:

• $49.99 affiliate membership
• $1,200 in monthly product purchases (at the $100 level)
• Total: $1,249.99

This doesn’t include:

• Any additional products you buy for samples or personal use
• Marketing materials
• Business cards or promotional items
• Travel to events or training
• Any other business-related expenses

To simply break even, you’d need to earn at least $1,250 in commissions during your first year. For most new affiliates, this is a significant challenge.

The Subscription Discount Angle

On the positive side, Frequense encourages monthly auto-ship subscriptions, offering 10% discounts (for example, Rise drops from $99.99 to $89.99). This makes the monthly requirement slightly more palatable, but you’re still looking at $90-100 monthly going out automatically.

The subscription model ensures predictable revenue for the company. For you as an affiliate, it means you’re locked into ongoing expenses. If you cancel your subscription to save money, you lose commission eligibility.

How You Actually Earn Money

Let’s break down the six ways Frequense says you can earn. I’ll explain each one in plain language so you understand exactly what’s required.

1. Personal Savings (Not Really “Earning”)

This is a discount on your own purchases, ranging from 5% at the entry level up to 30% at higher ranks. So if you’re buying products anyway, you save money. However, calling this “earning” is a bit misleading—you’re still spending money, just at a lower price than retail.

At the highest ranks (Platinum and above), you get a 30% discount. So that $100 monthly purchase becomes $70. That’s a meaningful savings, but you’re still spending $70 monthly, or $840 annually.

2. First Order Commission

When someone you refer (either a customer or new affiliate) makes their first purchase, you earn 20% of that order. Additionally, your upline (the person who recruited you) earns 5%.

This is straightforward retail commission. If someone buys a $100 product as their first order, you make $20. This is decent, but finding new first-time customers consistently is challenging. Once someone has made their first order, this commission doesn’t apply to their future purchases—you’d earn through different commission structures.

3. Team Rewards

This is a monthly bonus based on the total sales volume from your personal purchases, your downline affiliates’ purchases, and customer purchases. It uses something called “differential calculation.”

Here’s how it works: Each affiliate level has a percentage (5% for Affiliate, 10% for Copper, 15% for Bronze, 20% for Silver, 25% for Gold and above). You earn the difference between your percentage and your downline’s percentage.

Example: If you’re Gold (25%) and someone in your downline is Copper (10%), you earn 15% (25% minus 10%) on that person’s volume.

To qualify for Team Rewards, you must have at least $50 in personal product purchases. However, remember the fine print: full participation requires a $100 monthly fee.

This is paid on the 15th of each month for the previous month’s activity.

4. Legacy Bonus

This bonus pays 5% on the actual dollar value of your personally referred downline’s orders (excluding their first order, which is covered by First Order Commission).

The bonus expands as you rank up:

• Gold: Earn 5% on levels 1-3
• Platinum: Earn 5% on levels 1-4
• Double Platinum: Earn 5% on levels 1-5
• Triple Platinum and Diamond: Earn 5% on levels 1-6

This rewards you for recruiting people who continue making purchases month after month. However, you need to reach at least Gold rank (requiring $100 monthly purchase, 2 customers, 2 recruited affiliates, and $5,000 in group volume) to access this bonus.

Again, you need at least $50 in personal purchases to qualify, though full participation effectively requires $100.

5. First Order Pool

Each month, the company takes a percentage of all first orders (from both customers and affiliates) and puts it into a pool. Then, this pool is divided among Platinum affiliates and above based on shares:

• Platinum: 1 share
• Double Platinum: 2 shares
• Triple Platinum: 3 shares
• Diamond: 4 shares

The pool is divided equally based on total shares. So if the pool has $500 and there are 10 total shares across all qualifying affiliates, each share is worth $50.

To qualify, you need to be at least Platinum rank (requiring $100 monthly purchase, 2 customers, 2 recruited affiliates, and $10,000 in monthly group volume). For most new affiliates, reaching Platinum is a distant goal, making this bonus mostly theoretical.

6. Diamond Generation Bonus

This bonus is exclusively for top-level affiliates who have reached Diamond rank or higher. Specifically, you earn 1-2% on your “diamond generations”—essentially, the volume generated by other Diamond-level affiliates in your organization.

The percentages increase as you advance:

• Diamond: 1% on 4 generations
• Red Diamond: 1-2% on 4 generations
• Blue Diamond: 2% on 4 generations
• Black Diamond: 2% on 4 generations

Reaching Diamond requires a $100 monthly purchase, 2 customers, 6 recruited affiliates, and $100,000 in monthly group volume. This is an elite level that very few affiliates ever reach.

The Rank System and What It Really Takes

Let’s look at what advancing through ranks actually requires:

Copper Affiliate: $50 monthly + 1 customer + 1 recruited affiliate + $500 group volume

Bronze Affiliate: $50 monthly + 1 customer + 1 recruited affiliate + $1,000 group volume

Silver Affiliate: $50 monthly + 1 customer + 1 recruited affiliate + $2,500 group volume

Gold Affiliate: $100 monthly + 2 customers + 2 recruited affiliates + $5,000 group volume

Platinum Affiliate: $100 monthly + 2 customers + 2 recruited affiliates + $10,000 group volume

Double Platinum: $100 monthly + 2 customers + 4 recruited affiliates + $25,000 group volume

Triple Platinum: $100 monthly + 2 customers + 5 recruited affiliates + $50,000 group volume

Diamond: $100 monthly + 2 customers + 6 recruited affiliates + $100,000 group volume

Notice the pattern? As you advance, your personal purchase requirement stays at $100 (or increases slightly at lower levels), but the group volume requirements skyrocket. To reach Diamond, you need $100,000 in monthly group sales. That could mean hundreds of active people in your organization, all making purchases each month.

Also, notice the leg-balance requirements. At higher ranks, no more than 40% of your group volume can come from any single leg. This forces you to constantly balance multiple teams, recruiting, and managing across different downlines.

What Industry Statistics Really Say

Now for the uncomfortable but necessary conversation about MLM success rates. Extensive research on the multi-level marketing industry reveals consistent patterns:

73-99% of people who join MLM companies lose money or make no profit. This isn’t specific to Frequense—it reflects the entire industry across decades of study.

About 50% of MLM participants quit within their first year. By the five-year mark, 90% have left. Only 3-4% ever earn $25,000 or more annually. Less than 1% earn over $100,000 per year.

Frequense’s Own Admission

Frequense includes an Income Disclosure Statement in its compensation plan, which is worth reading carefully. It states:

“Since Frequense has recently launched, it lacks enough statistical data to prepare reliable income disclosures. There will be certain participants who will earn less while others will earn much more.”

Let that sink in. The company is admitting they can’t tell you what typical affiliates earn because they don’t have enough data yet. You’re being asked to invest your money, time, and personal credibility without knowing what realistic income expectations look like.

They continue: “If income projections were presented to you prior to your enrollment, such projections are not necessarily representative of the income, if any, that you can earn.”

This is legal disclaimer language, but it’s also an important acknowledgment. Any high-income claims your recruiter made aren’t guaranteed, endorsed by the company, or representative of what you’ll actually earn.

The Math Problem

Here’s the fundamental mathematical challenge with MLM structures: In pyramid-shaped organizations where most people are at the bottom, most people cannot succeed because there aren’t enough customers outside the network to support everyone.

To earn a significant income at Frequense, you need to build a team. But everyone on your team needs to do the same—build their own teams. And everyone on those teams needs to build teams, too. Eventually, though, you run out of people, or more specifically, you run out of people willing to spend $100+ monthly on supplements.

The model works for people at the top who got in early and built large organizations. It struggles for people at the bottom who are competing with everyone above them for the same pool of potential recruits and customers.

What Real People Are Saying

Positive Experiences

On Business for Home (a site that tends to lean pro-MLM), Frequense has a 5-star rating with reviews praising the products. People mention:

• Improved focus and mental clarity from Rise
• Increased energy without jitters
• Better sleep with Sync
• Reduced brain fog
• General well-being improvements

These testimonials appear genuine. Some people do like the products and experience benefits. The mushroom ingredients, minerals, and collagen have research supporting various health benefits, so positive experiences are certainly possible.

The company also has testimonials on its website from customers claiming improvements in mental performance, energy, and overall wellness. Many describe feeling part of a supportive community.

Critical Perspectives

Industry watchdog BehindMLM has been critical of Frequense for several reasons:

Lack of ownership transparency: Initially, the company didn’t clearly identify its owners on its website (though this has since been updated to prominently feature the Pitcocks).

Pay-to-play structure: The $100 monthly requirement to access full commissions is viewed as a regulatory red flag. When affiliates must buy products as a condition of earning, it suggests the revenue comes from distributors rather than genuine retail customers.

Narrow product line: With primarily mushroom drinks, minerals, collagen, and EMF patches, critics question whether there’s enough product diversity to build sustainable retail sales.

Frequency-charging claims: Skeptics question the scientific basis for frequency-charged nutrition, viewing it as marketing language rather than proven science.

The Customer Service Note

Interestingly, even on pro-MLM sites, there’s at least one negative review mentioning poor website navigation and inadequate customer service. For a company launching in 2023, having customer service issues early on is worth noting.

Who Might Actually Succeed

Let’s be realistic about who has the best chance with Frequense:

People who genuinely use and love the products have an advantage. If you’re already spending $100+ monthly on mushroom supplements, minerals, and collagen and prefer Frequense’s formulations, becoming an affiliate makes sense. You’d get a discount and could earn commissions sharing products you authentically use.

Alternative wellness enthusiasts who connect with the frequency approach can promote it authentically. If you genuinely believe in vibrational energy and frequency-charged nutrition, you’ll be more convincing than someone who’s skeptical but trying to make money.

Experienced network marketers who’ve succeeded in other MLM companies understand team building, recruitment, and motivation. These skills transfer to Frequense. However, these folks could likely succeed with any MLM.

People with substantial social networks or existing platforms (YouTube channels, Instagram followings, wellness blogs) can leverage their audience. However, you should consider whether promoting an MLM might affect your credibility with your followers.

Those with extra money to invest who don’t need the income to work can afford the $1,250+ first-year investment and ongoing monthly purchases without financial stress.

For everyone else—people who need to actually make money, those with limited budgets, people skeptical of the frequency approach, those with small social circles—Frequense presents significant challenges.

Important Questions to Ask

If you’re seriously considering Frequense, have honest conversations with your recruiter and ask these specific questions:

“How much have you personally earned each month since joining?” Get actual numbers, not vague “I’m doing great” responses.

“How much have you spent on products and business expenses during that same period?” Calculate their real profit after all costs.

“What percentage of your $100 monthly requirement is products you personally use versus products you buy to meet the qualification?” This reveals whether they’re a customer or just paying to play.

“How many people have you recruited, and how many are still active after six months?” High attrition suggests problems.

“Can you show me peer-reviewed scientific studies proving frequency-charging provides health benefits?” See what evidence they can actually provide.

“What percentage of Frequense affiliates reach Gold rank or above?” Without this data (which the company admits they don’t have), you’re deciding blind.

“If I focus only on retail sales without recruiting, can I earn meaningful income?” Their answer reveals whether retail alone is viable.

“What happens if I can’t afford the $100 monthly requirement for a few months?” Understand the consequences of pausing.

If your recruiter gets defensive, changes the subject, or can’t provide clear answers, that tells you something important about the opportunity.

The Bottom Line: Making an Informed Decision

After examining Frequense from every angle, here’s the honest assessment:

The Positives:

• Relatively low startup cost ($49.99)
• Products contain trendy, potentially beneficial ingredients (mushrooms, minerals, collagen)
• Clean manufacturing standards (GMO-free, gluten-free, etc.)
• Active community and support
• Founders with extensive industry experience
• Lower monthly requirement ($100) compared to some MLMs
• Opportunity to earn from multiple commission streams

The Challenges:

• Frequency-charging lacks mainstream scientific validation.
• Premium pricing makes retail sales difficult ($100 for a mushroom drink).
• $100 monthly purchase requirement to access full commissions.
• Very new company (launched in 2023) with no income disclosure data.
• Statistical reality that 73-99% of MLM participants don’t profit.
• Need to build a substantial team to earn a meaningful income.
• Group volume requirements scale dramatically (up to $100,000 for Diamond).
• EMF protection products aren’t recognized as effective by science.

For Most People: The combination of monthly purchase requirements, premium pricing, and fundamental MLM statistics suggests this isn’t a reliable path to significant income. You’ll likely spend more in your first year ($1,250+) than you’ll earn unless you’re exceptional at sales and recruitment.

If You Proceed: Set strict financial boundaries. Track every expense meticulously. Give yourself a defined trial period (perhaps 6 months) with clear success criteria. Focus on genuine retail sales, not just recruiting. Be honest with yourself about whether you’re making progress or just spending money monthly to stay qualified.

Better Alternatives: Consider whether you could achieve your income goals through other means—such as traditional employment in wellness, affiliate marketing for multiple brands, creating wellness content, or building skills in a growth industry.

In the end, the decision is ultimately yours. Just make it with eyes wide open, realistic expectations, and a clear understanding of both the opportunity and the very real statistical challenges you’ll face.

Disclaimer

This review is based on publicly available information, the company’s official compensation plan, and industry research. I’m not affiliated with Frequense or any competing MLM. I’m not a financial advisor, scientist, or medical professional. The effectiveness of “frequency-charged nutrition” is not established by mainstream scientific consensus. Individual results vary dramatically in MLM. Most participants don’t achieve profitability. Do your own thorough research, consult with qualified professionals, and make decisions based on realistic expectations and financial prudence.
