A DIFFERENT KIND OF ENERGY
FRS’s revolutionary blend of nutrients extends your body’s natural energy, fueling you up when you need it while supporting your health over the long haul. There’s no jittery feeling or roller-coaster ride – just prolonged energy that helps keep you focused and fully charged.
That energy comes from our secret weapon, quercetin, an antioxidant found in foods like blueberries, apples and grapes. Its incredible ability to enhance your body’s energy system is what keeps you feeling energized longer. Add a host of essential vitamins and you’re ready to tackle anything from minor workouts to a major marathon.
A single 11.5-ounce serving of FRS contains a healthy amount of quercetin, but one you’d have a hard time getting on your own; that is, unless you have a tendency to eat 40 apples in a single sitting. |

HOW TO USE FRS HEALTHY ENERGY
For best results, take 2-3 servings per day. One in the morning, one in the afternoon and whenever you need extra energy. Athletes take 30 minutes before exercise.

THE SCIENCE OF QUERCETIN
|
Endurance and VO2max Study:
Davis, Carlstedt et al. 2009
An independent, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, cross-over study showed that when 12 healthy, active (but not highly trained) men and women consumed 500 mg of quercetin (QU995™) in an enriched drink mix twice daily for 7 days, they experienced a 13.2 % increase in endurance and a 3.9 % increase in VO2max (a typical measure of fitness). The study has been published online in the International Journal of Sports Nutrition and Exercise Metabolism.

Sports Performance Study:
MacRae, H. and Mefferd, K. 2006 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 and published in the International Journal of sports nutrition and Exercise Metabolism. The results were dramatic: a 3.1% increase in performance–one minute and 31 seconds improvement in time to complete a 30km simulated mountainous time trial.

Immune System Study:
Neiman, David, Henson, DA, et al. 2007
A clinical study, funded in part by the United States Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) showed the antioxidant quercetin significantly reduced incidence of upper respiratory tract illness during the two week period following intensified exercise. Researchers also reported enhanced alertness and reaction time in athletes taking the quercetin supplement during high stress. Forty test subjects were subjected to extreme physical stress during a five week period. Half were given 1,000 mg of quercetin daily (the approximate amount in 3 servings of FRS) and half were given a placebo. Results showed:

Work Performance Study:
Durak, E. and Bell, M. May 2005
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, subjects experienced improvements in various measures of work performance, as measured in a Work Productivity Assessment Index survey.

Frs Healthy Energy Citrus Pomegranate Drink, 11.5-Ounce Cans

Frs Healthy Energy Citrus Pomegranate Drink, 11.5-Ounce Cans 
This drink and the orange FRS drink are my absolute favorites of the low calorie drinks offered by FRS. I drink this and don't get that high and then die feeling. Have tried Amped-it gave me a headache. This stuff is great, I just love it. Little pricey (but are all energy drinks?) but worth it for that lift needed to get through the day.
Rating: 5 / 5
First off, I LOVE FRS! I had been abusing highly caffeinated 'energy drinks' for the past 8 or so years and desperately needed a healthy alternative. Finding a healthy alternative that actually works and isn't just another bogus marketing scam – has changed my life! I drink FRS daily and love it. No more jitters, funky headaches, bees buzzing around in my head or mid-day crashes – just pure, sustainable, energy and clarity.
I would like to have given this FRS product a higher rating but the flavor is disappointing. The best 2 flavors of FRS, hands down, are the Low Cal Orange and Low Cal Peach/Mango. The Low Cal Wild Berry and Low Cal Citrus Pomegranate both use a similar ingredient (not sure what!) that gives them an unpleasant smell/taste. IMO, the Wild Berry is intolerable – YUCK! The Citrus Pomegranate is at least palatable.
This product deserves 5 Stars for truly living up to its claim of being a healthy alternative. Replacing nasty old over-caffeinated energy drinks with FRS seems to have improved my overall health in general and was such an easy switch! I don't miss my Redbulls, Monsters, or 5-hour Energy drinks AT ALL!
The antioxidants alone are reason enough to support this company.
EDIT (03/04/10): The above post pertains only to the low cal versions of FRS that come in the can. I have never tried the full calorie versions as I'm personally only interested in an energy beverage that is healthy and effective while also being easy on the waistline.
Secondly, I'd like to update my opinion on the Citrus Pomegranate flavor. It has grown on me and I would give it a 3.75 out of 5 for flavor. The ORANGE is by far my favorite and my go-to flavor. The Wild Berry remains absolutely DISGUSTING and could pass as cough medicine. *shudders*

I have tried several energy drinks and this product is at the top of my list. Many others contain lots of sugar and caffeine but FRS works in a different way with quercetin, vitamins and only 25 calories. I usually will drink 1 can at mid morning to get a renewed lift. It's not going to be so noticeable like a caffeine buzz or sugar high but the day goes by better with it than without. I must say that Amazon seems to be the best place to buy FRS and save money.
