FRS: Healthy Energy Supplement

Lance Armstrong is a spokesperson for FRS healthy energy supplement. Doesn't this picture that appears at the top of their website just make you want to work out?

I ordered this after reading about it on Hungry Girl’s Q & A.  She loves it, and I just HAD to know what it is like.  When I visited the site, I entered my zip code to see where it could be sold around here.  I feel like we’re pretty metropolitan in Nashville, even if it is still the south.  When I hit enter (my mistake), there were no search results.  Apparently, you have to click the little arrow in the boxy thing in which you enter your zip code.  My pressing enter made the site think I was searching their site for something.  So I decided to try the free trial.  Of course it isn’t free, but I didn’t care.  Actually, I still don’t care.  It was totally worth it.  And the long wait I had to endure, refreshing my UPS tracking status site to see when they would “scan” and “arrive” and “depart” and………..eventually………..deliver to my front porch.  It was only a week, but I was super pumped about trying this stuff.

You get the fruity chews and the concentrate, pictured here in the big white bottle, in your trial.

And I had good reason to be pumped.  It is tasty.  When you order the trial, be aware that you cannot pick which flavor you want.  That was okay with me because Hungry Girl attested to the deliciousness of the Low Cal Orange which is what they sent.  I did some research on quercetin, the main ingredient.  Like any natural or herbal supplement, it can interact with certain prescription drugs and their absorption into your body.  So do you research or ask your doctor/pharmacist before you try this stuff.  Which, by the way, is completely available at GNC and Publix in my area.  Did I mention that I figured that zip code boxy thing out…AFTER I had been to the grocery story for the week? “It’s okay,” I thought, “It will be coming to my front door soon.”

It finally got here yesterday evening, and I’m a fan already.  The trial comes with the low cal orange liquid concentrate, a bag of fruit chews, a cute little 2 oz. plastic measuring cup, and a gift.  The “gift” is a black and white aluminum water bottle.  It looks pretty snazzy.   The fruit chews are tasty in pomegranate blueberry, and I cannot wait to throw 2 oz. of this stuff into a smoothie this weekend.

My official review is 4 out of 5 because the free trial isn’t free.  Other than that, this stuff tastes good and has tons of good vitamins (especially the B) in there.  It also gives a nice natural energetic feeling whereas coffee just makes me want to jump out of my skin sometimes.  And the Low Cal Orange flavor reminds me of the orange-flavored drinks that I loved (and didn’t always get to drink) in my childhood.  I’m sipping it right now over some crushed ice, and it is nice. There is a slight “diety” after-taste, but it doesn’t bother me.  Other reviews boast that their other flavors are more impressive (like peach mango and wild berry that tastes like raspberry juice).  I can’t wait to try them, too.  They also offer more flavors in their powdered form which can be easily thrown into a bottle of water in a hurry.

It does sign you up for the AutoShip program.  If you’re not into it, you can cancel anytime.  It is a great deal, though, because you always get a discount and you can set up how often (or not often) you want to order stuff in the mail.  They set you up with an account, and it is easy to poke around and see what your options are.  The first 3  orders are 30% off, the next 3 orders are 40% off, and every order after that is 50% off.  If you like this stuff, that is a deal.  It can get pretty pricey at the GNC.  I checked.
