Why You Need FRS
| | One of the top theories about why the body ages? and why you feel tired, worn-out or foggy headed ? involves tiny molecules known as free radicals, which are created as a natural result of any metabolic activity. For example, after you jog a mile, free radicals circulate in the body. Even non-exercise activities, such as working at a computer, generate free radicals. Free radicals are even created by each breath you take. A small amount of free radicals are not a problem. Your body produces its own batch of free radical eliminators called ?antioxidants? to seek out and destroy free radicals. You also get small amounts of antioxidants from the foods you eat, such as certain fresh fruits and vegetables. But problems occur when free radicals become too numerous. When your body fails to produce enough antioxidants quickly enough ? or additional free radicals are created by high stress, poor diet, lack of sleep or environmental toxins ? healthy cells and tissues get damaged. Free radicals attack your heart cells, liver cells, even brain cells. They also attack and destroy mitochondria ? the cells that produce energy in the body. Free radical damage is now believed to be a contributing factor behind being overweight and obese, fatigue, poor thinking, muscle injury and serious ailments such as arthritis, heart disease, stroke and cancer! So if you?re suffering from low energy, midday sluggishness, muddled thinking, stress-related anxiety ? or you simply want to boost your weight loss efforts ? the first thing you should do is give your body more antioxidants by regularly taking FRS to help wipe out the bad free radicals.
| | Why Lance Armstrong uses FRS |  | "I need a healthy source of energy. As an athlete and a cancer survivor, I have to think about what I put into my body. After studying the science behind FRS, I feel confident in making it part of my daily routine. FRS fits with me wanting to live to be 90 and beyond, when I?ll still be running marathons, riding my bike, staying fit and having fun.? ?Lance Armstrong 7-Time Tour de France Champion

Why FRS Works
| Recently, Harvard scientists created FRS, a patented formula that contains some of the most powerful antioxidant nutrients in the world. When consumed on a daily basis, these nutrients work synergistically to give your body the extra help it needs to destroy free radicals and reclaim the youthful energy and mental focus you deserve. FRS works so well because it not only contains 100% of the recommended daily allowance (RDA) of time-honored antioxidants such as vitamins A, C and E ? along with other key energy-producing and energy-sustaining compounds like vitamins B6, B12 and niacin. But FRS also gives you two key dimensions of antioxidant support that take your vitality to new heights: |  | Quercetin
Quercetin is one of the most powerful antioxidants and is naturally found in the skins of blueberries, red onions, apples and other fruits and vegetables. Independent studies have linked quercetin with improved physical performance, mood enhancement as well as anti-inflammatory and anti-allergen effects. Unfortunately, you would need to eat dozens of fruits and vegetables every day to get the amount of quercitin shown to be effective in these studies. Taking FRS every day supplies all the quercetin you need and is much easier than eating dozens of fruits and vegetables. The quercetin used in FRS is pharmaceutical grade 99.5% pure quercetin - called QU 995. | |  | Green Tea Catechins (EGCG)
Catechins, specific nutrients found in green tea, have strong antioxidant properties. Researchers have found that EGCG ? the primary catechin in green tea ? is 100 times more potent than vitamin C against free radical damage. In addition, many scientists now believe that the much-publicized weight-loss effect that occurs in people who drink green tea may be due to the presence of EGCG rather than the presence of caffeine. It is believed that EGCG ? by protecting the body's mitochondria from free radicals ? allows the body to produce more energy. That's why FRS includes a potent amount of concentrated EGCG in every serving. | |
Clinical Studies and FRS | 
During a six-week study, university employees were asked to perform their daily jobs, which required physical exertion, lifting, repetitive movements and attention to detail. At the end of the study, scientists measured the work performance and found that when the workers took FRS they experienced: | 
Recently, researchers gathered a group of volunteers aged 49 to 69 who had been diagnosed with advanced-stage cancer for at least 1.6 years. Scientists found that when patients consumed FRS on a daily basis, they reported: |  |  |
 | A United States Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) funded study shows antioxidant Quercetin reduces susceptibility to viral illness and helps brain function under stress. Forty test subjects were subjected to extreme physical stress during a five week period. Half were given 1000 milligrams of Quercetin daily (equal to 3 servings of FRS) and half were given a placebo. The results were dramatic:

 | | An independent, double-blind, placebo-controlled crossover study on the effect of FRS on cycling performance in eleven elite cyclists was completed at Pepperdine University in June 2004 and is being published in the International Journal of Sports Nutrition and Exercise Metabolism. The results were dramatic ? one minute and 31 seconds improvement in a 30 km simulated mountainous time trial. |
 | The ORAC test measures the total antioxidant power of foods. The higher the ORAC score, the better a food or beverage destroys free radicals. Recently, researchers conducted an ORAC test of FRS and compared its score to other popular antioxidant or energy drinks. Here's what they found:

 WORKS! Boosts the Immune System - this stuff is amazing October 28, 2008
Several times when I have been coming down with a cold I take FRS and immediately feel better and within a day I am over the cold. I have shared this with coworkers and friends with the same results. This stuff is absolutely amazing. I had a terrible tooth infection that was beyond painful and loading up on FRS made the infection go down by 90%, I truly was shocked.
As for energy, this doesnt give a jolt like RedBull or other caffeine products, I notice for me that it gives a clear, steady energy that feels so much better than the other energy drinks, and there is no crash and burn later. Drinking FRS is like health insurance for me.
 Tons of energy October 3, 2008
This stuff works. I took one dose for two days in a row, and I felt mentally alert for two days after that. And it doesn't negatively impact my sleep. As a matter of fact I seem to sleep better. My only concern is how this stuff works. Since the US govt under Bush no longer regulates anything, I'm concerned that this stuff is going to burn out some gland or part of my brain.
It does work though.
Great beverage for morning and pre-workout September 23, 2008
I love this product. For those of you expecting a caffeinated kick, this isn't it. For those of you who know the increased energy and overall feeling of wellness from a good dose of B vitamins, this is for you. I drink it every morning with a fiber supplement stirred in as a healthier alternative to coffee or juice. And then I have this or another FRS product before a workout. The liquid concentrate has a bit of a Tang taste to it but it's pretty easy to get used to. I prefer it to the powder version for taste but the powder packets are easier to carry around and dump into a bottle of water before workouts or in the middle of the afternoon for a low-calorie pick-me-up. I'm going to try ordering through Amazon. I'm supposed to have a regular repeat shipment directly from FRS but after two attempts to convert my monthly deliveries to a regular 6-month supply, they have yet to send me anything at all in the last three months. Reps are friendly enough, but they can't seem to deliver their own product to a customer that's been with them for a year! After using this product for several months I can point out that although the increase in energy is subtle when taking it, the decrease in energy is really noticeable since I've run out of product. I'll try Amazon to see if I can at least keep a regular supply on hand!
 For health benefits only, not performance enhancement September 14, 2008

I tried two of the FRS products prior to my morning runs over a weekend. After a long work week, I need the energy boost. First the liquid concentrate on Saturday. After a two-day running layoff, my legs should have been energized to go on their own. I nixed my usual routine of tea before the run and drank the energy drink with my breakfast only because it already contains caffeine and I am caffeine sensitive. My run was horrible. Absolutely no energy at all and I was craving my tea by mile two. In fact, it was one of my worst runs in a while. Nothing ever kicked in. Sunday morning, I tried the chews pre-run AND drank my usual tea, and while my energy was much improved from Saturday, I actually did a six mile loop 2mins and 15 sec. slower than the prior Sunday before using FRS. Now, while the difference this Sunday was very hot/humid compared to last Sunday when it was very, very cool, the product did nothing to sustain me or keep me going. In fact, due to the heat, most of my time difference faded on the last half of the run which is where I would expect a purported energy product to help esp. since I ran with water to hydrate. So I will cancel the plan before they ship me more.
I guess it wouldn't be bad to have the chews around, but honestly I didn't see any reason to spend the $$$. The items are all low-cal, so you won't get any glycogen upload benefit or sustaining energy from carbs/pro/fat, just the supposed energy from the mixture of vitamins and flavonoids and a small amount of caffeine. As mentioned, I am very caffeine sensitive and didn't even seem to get an extra boost from that.
Love this product September 6, 2008
Purchased from Amazon since I have free two day shipping. FRS requires a monthly shipment schedule to get the free shipping. FRS really does boost my energy and I feel good about drinking it.
