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:

 The Green is better than the orange May 28, 2008
OC Mommie (California)
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
These are great. You feel good without any jitters or other nasty side effects. The orange is a bit too bitter for me, but I really like the lemon-lime! Some people don't like them I see - to each his own. I didn't like the drink mix, so I find the chews easier to get down. I wonder if they have pills? That would be even better!

I agree, the chew tabs are a little gritty, but really not bad. I enjoy the taste and want to try the orange next. I also like this product a little better than the powder buecause you can just pop them in your mouth and go. no need to find a bottle of water to mix the powder with. No matter what form you best like FRS, IT WORKS. This product is great and you will not be dissappointed in the results.
 Horrible Taste May 9, 2008

The chews are full of great antioxidants, but unfortunately, its very difficult to eat them. The taste is horrible!! I have to chase them with a glass of water. Perhaps the orange is better.
Better than the drink at least... July 6, 2008

...and, that's not saying much. They do seem to help some (and, they seem to be great for my skin), but the taste is a bit hard to tolerate. And, I agree that the L&L is better than the orange. Other than the taste, the texture is not quite palatable. However, compared to the drink mix, I would consider these so yummy (yes, the drink mix, esp. the concentrate, is that bad).
Acquired taste September 24, 2008
Doc Schreiber (West Coast)
The taste is "funny" to say the least. Lemon Lime is so strong, feels like chewing some kind of artificial citrus extract. After a while you might get used to it, but I don't think very many people would love it.
I tried the liquid orange form, too. Tastes much better, but is not as portable. Perhaps, the powder is the way to go?
Probably the best value of this product is in the fact that it contains quercetin. As far as high vitamin content (each one included is a 100% recommended daily value or greater which you would ingest with normal diet anyway), keep in mind that, typically, excess vitamins are excreted in urin or stool, therefore, the benefit is doubtful (public's ignorance of this is how supplements industry makes billions every year).
The "energy buzz"? Don't count on it. Most energy drinks give you buzz with high caffeine and sugar contents. This one might delay the fatigue later in the day, especially after exercise, but "buzz" is not one of the features I've expected.
