I never noticed anything, but the concentrate is pretty bright so I can understand. I’ll check my tongue next time

The only thing I can think of is, perhaps the wild berry wouldn’t be noticeable since it is more of a natural red color.

Levi,
I have also, tried and like FRS quite a bit. I am a college student and take FRS after practice so that I can stay alert in class – it works marvelously. I have noticed, however, that drinking the orange concentrate turns my tongue bright yellow. Have you noticed this? If so, have you found that any frs products have less of this tongue-coloring effect?

Here’s my update about how I’ve been using FRS the past two years and how it’s working today:

Just fyi about the cost, I found that if you order it autoship on amazon, they give you a discount so it ends up being 16.63 instead of ~20.

I’ve been using this product, the lowcal concentrate, for three weeks and have experienced more energy. I take mine before my daily ride and I mix a tablespoon of apple cider vinegar with it. Two Ounces of FRS in my tall bike bottle and the tase is fine.

Something for everyone to research about Quercetin, the active ingredient in FRS:

“Quercetin has been shown to increase energy expenditure in rats, but only for short periods (fewer than 8 weeks)”
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quercetin

As I mentioned above, I use the product sparatically and after several months it is still very effective for my application. However, reading the wiki info stated above, I am lead to believe that prolonged, continual usage of the product may cause your body to build resistance to its effects.

Maybe you can address this, Levi. I would be interested to know if you still use FRS almost two years later and if it still works for you.

To Barbara:
I have used FRS for several months now, after receiving my 1-month free trial. I did very little research and found the auto-ship to be very conspicuously stated on the website. Also, the auto-ship is customizable to your usageof the product. I only use FRS sparatically at work so my autoship is setup at $18 every other month (1 bottle of concentrate shipped to Utah) I don’t plan to stop my shipments anytime soon, but thanks for the heads up on cancellation being difficult.

Levi-
I would like to suggest that you not endorse the free trial site. I think celebrity sports people should be ashamed of this as people who do not research, get stuck in a $70 auto ship program. that is not cool and it is not laid out on the site. you can cancel, but it is hard. sometimes you can cancel but still get a small amt. for a club fee taken out every month but regardless, people need to be aware.

thanks for your review…i will be purchasing at another outlet

@Dave

I don’t work for FRS. I don’t particularly like the company and I wouldn’t work for them if I had the chance.

However, I like the drink (specifically the liquid concentrate) because it works great for me during endurance training.

It’s really funny though how controversial FRS is. There are plenty of other product reviews on my site, both positive and negative, and no one accuses me of working for any other company out there.

But people comment asking if I work for FRS, and sometimes I even catch employees of PR firms (that work with other brands of energy drinks) coming by and leaving obviously biased, negative comments. It really cracks me up!
