A Healthy Energy Drink
I was looking for a healthy energy drink myself. The stuff in the convenience store gave me a boost, but it also gave me a pretty good crash as well. I was also concerned that I could not pronounce most of the ingredients on the label!
I saw a commercial on television for a new product by Lance Armstrong called FRS. I figured if he was using the product and was also endorsing it it had to be safe. No one who has battled cancer and competes for a living is going to risk it all without checking it out.
I was right. This stuff is not only healthy, but also works very well. I also liked the fact it came in a chew, kind of like a starburst.
Turns out I am not the only one. Here are some of the reviews I came across while doing my research on it:
I must say I am a convert! This stuff is great. Unlike coffee, it does not pick you up quickly and crash you. It does take some time, but for the first time since my twenties, I felt fine after landing and working a full day with no problem sleeping afterward. It felt like my jetlags were over before it started. NowadaysI don’t go anywhere without it. I still drink coffee, but lot less than before. My co-workers make fun of me whenever I mix the power in the water bottle to create a florescent yellow liquid, which they call kryptonite, but it sure helps me to concentrate while awake and puts me to sleep when I need the rest.

Energy levels were good, even great, and even better I didn’t feel jittery. I did feel like I was ‘zooming’ a bit when they first kick in but it was a mild sensation and not long lived (good thing). The boost seemed to last 4 to 5 hours with two chews and maybe 3 or so with one chew.
They are very convenient to use as long as you can store them away from heat – like not in your pocket or on the dash of your vehicle because they do get melty.

The stuff is great! I have a touchy tummy and they set very well. No digestive problems at all. They give you a low steady energy – not the quick energy rise and resulting crash of other products. No jittery moments, you just feel really alert and very productive! The flavors are a bit sweet – but I take the liquid in the morning and have two chews with me for the after noon – so it is not much of the sweetness each day. I work three jobs and these are my life line!!!

The primary benefit I receive during excercise is better energy and I have no muscle soreness after running or lifting weights. At work I will take a serving after lunch and I have zero late afternoon lulls. I am intrigued by the research pertaining to the ingredient quercetin. While studies are early there are numerous reported health benefits to quercetin. I am happy with this product and will continue using FRS.

I had the same experience as well. What is really cool, and very rare to find these days is FRS offers a free trial of the product. That way you can make sure they really work for you. Enjoy!!
