FRS Energy: An Energy Supplement with Rave Reviews, But Read This Before You Decide to Purchase It
Is it Lance Armstrong’s product? Does it increase your energy levels? Read on to find out…
Recently, I found out about a new energy product called FRS Energy. It is a unique formula created by Lance Armstrong, the world’s leading cyclist. I was told that this product is all natural, caffeine free and can be taken every day without your body becoming so accustomed to it that it no longer works (as I was told is the case for such things like 5 Hour Energy: A Powerful Long-Lasting Boost Within Minutes, which I not only love, but truly know firsthand that it works like a miraculous ray of light from heaven – haha!)
Because I believe what people tell me, I was very excited to purchase this product right away. I was told that in comparison to 5 Hour Energy shots, which have a retail value of about $3-4/bottle, FRS Energy is much more affordable. You can choose from drinks, concentrates, powders and chews. I love candy so the idea of chewing your way to greater levels of energy and clarity is by a halleluiah find for me any day of the week.
A supply of 48 chews cost me approximately $28 including shipping and handling as I was told that it could only be purchased online. I thought this was fair as I was told that you need to only take 2 a day which would still be a bargain when compared to what I’d been using.
The box came in about two days and I was so excited to try it out. Each individual packet contained 4 chews and after reading the instructions I realized that you are supposed to consume all 4 chews in one day as opposed to only 2 as I had previously been informed. I thought oh well, and chewed away. Maybe it’s the heat, maybe it’s because of personal things going on, however, I’ve tried this product 2 days in a row, and I feel no difference in my energy levels. In fact, I’ve felt MORE tired……?
I also looked closely at the ingredients and discovered that it DOES in fact contain caffeine and several items that I cannot pronounce, not always the best sign when someone says something’s ALL-natural. I do realize that Lance Armstrong is a leading athlete; however, the product does not beat 5 hour energy in my opinion.
As I’ve got 44 chews to go, maybe I’ll see the difference. I’m going to chew them all since I already purchased them. Maybe your experience with them has been different, but for those of you who haven’t tried it yet, I thought I’d save you all the time and money by letting you know my experience.
By the way, I’m now not even sure if Lance Armstrong even created this product as nothing else I was told turned out to be true. Yes, I could go research that, but because I’m already disappointed with the product, I really don’t care to know much more about it.
(Note: Maybe the guy who told me about the product was misinformed himself, but it taught me a good lesson. Even if you want to believe the best in everyone, you must always double check everything to keep yourself safe, save money, etc. – - lesson learned.)

I think all these energy products are a bunch of hooey except the ones full of caffein and they only make you jittery. I know I’m not one to say because I don’t use them.

I tend to agree with Ruby. A very enjoyable read.

I don’t know what this is, but I tend to keep away from stuff like that anyway. I’d rather have an apple or a banana for extra energy. I know what’s inside them and they actually do work – for me anyway.

Thank you for the advice!

agree to that… nothing beats fresh fruits and vegetables as energy boosters with a proper rest, exercise and balanced diet…
boiled green banana (saba variety, Musa spp.) 2 hours before cycling or running…
1 teaspoon of peanut butter per day…
soya milk…. ah, the list is endless

I work for FRS and I’m sorry to hear that you’ve been misinformed about FRS Healthy Energy. As you’ve noticed not all FRS products are all natural, and there is a small amount of caffeine in the product to aid in the absorption of the antioxidants and vitamins. There’s roughly 25% as much caffeine in a serving of FRS as you’d find in a medium cup of coffee from the leading national coffee shop chain. The main active ingredient in FRS is Quercetin, a powerful antioxidant found in fruits and vegetables. Some people notice an energy boost after one serving, but many people need two servings per day for a week to feel the full effect. Unlike energy drinks full of sugar and caffeine that give you an immediate boost then a crash FRS needs to be consumed regularly, like a supplement. We believe it’s great to have real people try our products then review them online. Please continue to write about your experience with FRS as you continue to take two servings per day as we believe that within a week you’ll feel it.
