FRS Healthy Energy Drinks and Chews
July 5, 2008 by Joshua Lien FRS Healthy Energy is a new system of drinks and chews designed to give you even, sustained energy throughout the day. No more love-hate relationship with bipolar energy drinks that give you a manic, jittery boost followed by a crash that will leave you longing for a nap like the good old days of kindergarten. FRS energy drinks and chews are different. They contain quercetin, a powerful antioxidant found in fruits and vegetables. Quercetin fights the oxidants that accumulate in your body from exercise, stress, and normal daily activity, helping you to retain your body's natural energy and health. Each can of FRS is equivalent to downing the flavonoid antioxidants (free radical scavengers – hence, the name FRS) contained in 10 servings of raspberries, 8 servings of red onions, or 3 servings of blueberries. In addition, FRS gives you green tea catechins and 100% or more of the Recommended Daily Intake of vitamins B1, B2, B3, B6, B12, C, and E. A small amount of caffeine (equal to approximately 1/2 cup or less of coffee) aids metabolism and helps the body absorb other key ingredients. At least that is the sales pitch from FRS.
Does it Work?
For me, yes. I have noticed a definite improvement, but don't take my word for it. FRS is so confident you will be hooked that they offer a free 2-week trial with a retail value of around $50. You pay only $6.95 for shipping. See what it can do for you. Compare FRS Healthy Energy drinks and chews with Monster Energy, Red Bull, Rockstar, Vitamin Water, Starbucks, Mountain Dew Code Red, Coke, or whatever you drink to recharge your batteries. Lance Armstrong, seven-time winner of the Tour de France, is a believer.
Drink Up
I have tried the low-calorie concentrate (orange), low-calorie powder  (orange), and low-calorie, ready-to-drink cans (wild berry). Of these, I prefer the concentrate. The powder is fine but does not disperse as well in water, leaving a potent shot of flavor clumps at the end. The ready-to-drink cans are convenient but much more expensive per serving. If you are watching your calories with a microscope and have nothing against sucralose, you will appreciate the low-calorie products. I tolerated their taste without so much as a grimace, even though I shun all diet soft drinks. I have also tried the regular concentrate (orange), which is my favorite. I have an 8-oz glass every morning in place of the Tropicana orange juice that I used to drink. The taste is very good and well worth the extra 100 calories (over the low-calorie concentrate). In either case, go with the concentrate. Save some green and be green (less plastic packaging that might find its way to the Trash Vortex). Chew on This
 The chews remind me of soft Starburst candies with a little more flavor kick. Both flavors, lemon-lime and orange, are good, even though they contain a small amount of sucralose to supplement the sugar and corn syrup. I give lemon-lime a slight edge. Open the wrapper and remove the chew with your teeth to keep your fingers free of stickiness. For energy on the go, I recommend the chews. I usually have two in the afternoon before a workout. Drink plenty of water after eating the chews. I did not a couple of times and ended up feeling thirsty with a mild headache. Otherwise, I have felt great. Avoid the Catch
If you order the free 2-week trial, FRS creates a standing order for around $80 worth of products to be sent to you every month. You may eventually want this. However, to be safe, call FRS (877-377-4968) the day your sample kit arrives to cancel your trial. If you do not like the products, you ensure an unwanted order will not ship automatically. If you like the products, you can always place a new order, possibly at a discount. Shortly after I received my trial order, FRS sent me an e-mail with a coupon code for 30% off my next order. I used that to stock up. When ordering direct from FRS, you can get free shipping if you order two or more AutoShip items. AutoShip means FRS creates a standing order to ship the same items every month with free shipping. Again, you can immediately call and cancel the standing order, if you are still not sure you want to make FRS part of your daily regimen. Once you are sure, you may appreciate the convenience of AutoShip. FRS products are also available at GNC and Amazon. Read comments(0) | |
