    I don't usually try energy drinks because mostly they have an overdose of caffeine and I can do that with coffee.  But Lance is recommending this one and I'm going to give it the 2 week trial.  After I get it in I'll see what all the ingredients are:

    If it really works, I'll let you all know.

    The website does not provide details what's in it.

    Also, I think Lance is probably paid to promote it. It might be harmless but will it help?

    Could not find info at Dana Farber either.....

    God Bless

    Watch it have soy lecithin in it or something.  I'm getting desperate to get some energy, so I just sent away for it.  I remember the old me and I want her back. I'm hoping Lance wouldn't promote something that doesn't really work.

    I tried the free sample last year.  I think it tastes dreadful.  If you don't like it, be sure to cancel right away.  It's like the book of the month club.  I have an unopened box of it from November. 

    My energy levels were better for two weeks in October, which was about a month into the FRS products.   Part of what made me backpedal a bit was the chewy things and what might they be doing to my teeth.  I've read about the red bull products being really bad on tooth enamel.  Don't know about these products.  Maybe I was looking for a reason not to take them because I really didn't like the taste.  

    btw, the amount of caffeine is pretty small.  The calorie count is way low, which I liked.

    Althea,

    I should have asked you first, if anyone tried anything for energy, you've been there first. 

    I was going to cancel as soon as I got it because I'm not good at taking/drinking things everyday and I didn't want it to start piling up on me.  I don't even know the price of this stuff yet. 

    Anne, I'll give it the ol college try and let you know if I'm energized after my 2 weeks is up.

    Rosemary, my daughter ordered the free sample some time back.  She's a procrastinator.  Sure hope she cancelled her order. LOL

    Anyway, I don't believe she cared for it.  I think I'll ask her to let me try it.  However, I believe some of the stuff in that drink are supplements I may be taking.  I need to check it out again.  But, I won't order.

    Shirley,

    Let me know what you think about it.  I don't know why I ordered it because I know I don't have follow-thru with taking these types of drink things.  It must have been a tired moment.

    I received my order in of FRS yesterday.  I tried the concentrate, 2 ounces of product mixed with water.  It tasted slightly like mango, or peach.  It didn't taste bad.  I didn't try the chews.  Plus there's a can already mixed, and some powder packets for mixing. 

    It has a bunch of vitamins listed as ingredients, nothing to be worried about as other ingredients.  I'll try to be taking it as suggested just to see if I get my energy back in the next 2 weeks.

    They never told me how much this would cost on a monthly basis yet.  I thought something would come in with the order.  Nothing in my email either about the cost.  What a way to do business. 

    The chews do have soy lecithin as the 4th ingredient.  So I tried to cancel and there is no place to cancel the order on the web page I have as a member.   I don't like this company already.

    Well, my post disappeared.  Sure glad it wasn't a long one.

    As I said, I believe my daughter ended up receiving an order before she cancelled.  Not sure.  And, I don't believe she got around to really trying all the stuff in the sample pack.  I'll have to ask her IF I remember.

    I've decided to take the concentrate, so I'm not cancelling the order.

    I called them, and found out the price for the concentrate was $32 for 64 ozs.  I want to give this a fair chance to work.  I'll try it for 3 months and see what happens.

    Would anyone be willing to list the exact ingredients?

    sugars 3g

    fiber 1g

    vit A , C, E, thiamin, riboflavin, niacin, B6, B12, Quercetin, and catechins from green tea

    White grape juice, inulin???, orange juice, quercetin, gum arabic??, locust bean gum, green tea extract, caffeine, they don't say how much caffeine is in it and sucralose as the sugars.

    That's the ingredients for the concentrate.  The chews went to work with my husband, soy lecithin in them.

    It says it has as much antioxidants as 3 servings of blueberries or 6 servings of red onions or 8 servings of raspberries.
