Summary: Bought based on article in Nutrition Action Healthletter
Comment: I subscribe to the Nutrition Action Healthletter published by the Center for Science in the Public Interest (CSPI). Page 8 of the December issue has an article titled "Manipulating Mitochondria."
This article states that the Department of Defense (DoD) (the agency being DARPA) sponsored research into the ability of quercetin to increase mitrochondria. DOD wanted to know if quercetin would reduce the number of colds and other viral infections of young men under intense physical stress (1000 MG per day which would be 8 of these chews). To quote from the article "In all these studies researchers used a high-purity quercetin called QU995. That's the kind that's also in FRS energy mixes drinks and chews." I subtracted 1 star for all the other sugar related ingredients. Too early to tell if I will catch less colds, but willing to try to boost my mitrochondria in any case.

Summary: Um, healthy energy?
Comment: I probably wouldn't have minded if the taste were anything to write home about, but HEALTHY ENERGY? They same full of sweeteners like corn syrup and artificial chemicals. They may have some nutrient value, but the fact of the matter is that these don't provide much more health or "healthy energy" than a candy bar with one natural ingredient (say, peanuts) might. The greening of America and its inherent partners like the trend towards healthier eating are positive developments, I believe. But the repackaging of junk under the banner of nutritious eating is a crime, or should be at any rate!
My suggestion? Buy real fruit. Or don't delude yourself and just get a Snickers bar. But avoid patent dishonesty such as this.

Summary: Strange, but addictive
Comment: Watch out, because these chews can be addictive. I ate about half the bag in one sitting, which I'm pretty sure is not the way they were intended to be consumed! The taste is very different--I'm not too familiar with the taste of pomegranate, and when berry is thrown in, it's a strange mixture that takes a while to get used to.
I can't really say that I got much of an energy boost out of them, but then again I'm pretty hopped up on caffeine most of the day anyway. You should be aware that they will turn your mouth red! So don't eat a bunch before an interview or anything.

Summary: Don't overlook Quercetin
Comment: I have tried all of the FRS products and will agree with most reviewers that the chews have a unique texture and they do not taste "great"...not bad though. The following are the benefits I have noticed over the past 18 months. The primary benefit I receive during excercise is better energy and I have no muscle soreness after running or lifting weights. At work I will take a serving after lunch and I have zero late afternoon lulls. I am intrigued by the research pertaining to the ingredient quercetin. While studies are early there are numerous reported health benefits to quercetin. I am happy with this product and will continue using FRS.

Summary: TASTY LITTLE TREAT WITH NUTRITIONAL PUNCH
Comment: It's 40 calories for 2 pieces (chews they're called) and the 2-piece serving has 6g of sugar and is loaded with all the vitamins that I'm sure are listed up above in the product description. The ingredients are not too bad. Palm oil is the 4th ingredient, which I think is better than "palm kernel oil" which is a lot better than (and would be a deal-breaker for me) anything that says "partially hydrogenated." The package says to eat 2 chews whenever you need extra energy or a pre-workout boost. I'm high energy already and didn't notice any extra energy. I view these as a low-calorie little treat that is packed wtih vitamins. I will buy these after I'm done with my Vine package.

 | | FRS SCIENCE
FRS was invented by a team including Dr. Mitsunori Ono, PhD as a fatigue fighting and general health drink. It was then tested and refined by Dr. Ono and Dr. Lan Bo Chen, PhD, who at the time were both researchers at Harvard University. It was later discovered by endurance athletes who found that it boosted and sustained their peak athletic performance while supporting their overall health. Now FRS is used by anyone who wants a healthy and sustained boost of energy. The key ingredient in FRS is Quercetin.
(pronounced: KWAIR-suh-ten) Quercetin is a powerful natural antioxidant found in the skins of apples, blueberries, and onions. It unlocks and helps extend your body's own natural energy, by protecting the adrenaline your body naturally creates to give you energy for small daily tasks like staying alert and focused at work as well as helping you get more from your workouts. Experts believe quercetin works by allowing the energy that your body produces to stay active in your system longer, without forcing your body to produce more adrenaline so that you feel more energy for a longer amount of time. All Quercetin isn't the same though. FRS uses only QU995(TM), the highest purity Quercetin available, and combines it with a patented mix of vitamins, metabolic enhancers, and antioxidants to support absorption. | | | | | | | | |
 | | HOW TO USE FRS HEALTHY ENERGY Make FRS part of your day by taking one serving in the morning and one in the early afternoon. Take another serving whenever you need extra energy or 30-40 minutes before exercise as a pre-workout boost. When consumed on a daily basis, FRS helps fight fatigue and provides powerful antioxidant protection to support your overall health. | | | | | | | | | | | |

Study # 1 - 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 in June 2004 and is 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. | FRS Enhances Work Performance
