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.

Summary: "5+ Stars for the pre-"Improved Disolving Formula""

I've been using FRS for over 2.5 years on subscription and love it. It is a fantastic product that does what it says. For the skeptics, all I can say is that the proof is in pudding. I haven't been sick in over a year and we have elementary aged kids whereas without it I was sick every 3 months with something or another. FRS surely helps with performance be it athletic or in my case hard core focus in developing Multimedia. I use the orange powder mix, convenient, refreshing, and you can mix it to your liking with more or less water.

The 3 star rating is for the most recent as of July 2010 "Improved Dissolving Formula" mix. It surely dissolves better but the taste is completely different. The original formula is refreshing and doesn't leave an aftertaste, the latest doesn't taste as good, leaves my throat dry, and has a light Orange Julius after taste. I was so disappointed by this change that I called FRS to see if they had any old stock that I could stock up on and there was none to be had. The new formula is here to stay because in a "focus group" people wanted the powder to dissolve better. Well I do too, but why change the flavor as well. And I'm not sure if it's a psychological thing or not, but I don't seem to get the same energy push from this "Improved" formula.

Please FRS, bring back the original formula or at least offer it as an option: "Original Orange" or "Better Dissolving Orange Julius".

Summary: "Works as Advertised"

I started using FRS 3 years ago & immediately noticed an improvement in my workouts. I have more energy & feel stronger when I spin or do the elliptical. I use the packets as a breakfast supplement and blend it with fruit, oatmeal and egg whites 1/2 hour before I go to the gym. Also it has a pleasant tart taste (like SweetTarts)that's not bad. Because it is a little pricey, I don't use it everyday. I am very satisfied with the results I've gotten from using FRS & will continue to use it.

My husband travels quite a bit so the FRS packets come in handy during the travel weeks. The FRS packets are extremely convenient and come in a variety of flavors. I have done my research online and Amazon seems to offer the best price with the Free Shipping for Subscribe and Save items and the lower price with the program. If you drink FRS, this is a terrific method to receive the product at a great price with the convenience of having it delivered to your doorstep!
