Big Red Boots Responds

Last week, “Big Red Boots” of MiamiExaminer.com stopped by to provide his feedback about my post on his review of FRS.  Here’s what he had to say:

no- - I tried the actual energy drink - not the syrup. And I do compare it to other energy drinks and found it silly. There is no “energy ” ingredients in here, unless you count the half cup of coffee’s worth caffeine.
To compare beverages to beverages, A glass of tea (plain old brewed black tea) has more caffeine and contains quercetin too. forget the energy drinks, If FRS gets you going, you should see what a tall glass of Iced tea would do for you at an eighth the price.

About a hundred different foods people normally eat during the day have quercetin. I am glad they give you energy - but I still find their business practices and health claims shady, and still think it tastes horrible.

First off, I want to say “Thank you!” for stopping by and giving your feedback to the post.

I really wouldn’t call FRS an energy drink, either.  It’s really more like an energy supplement, similar to Cytomax or Endurox.  Red Bull and Monster will provide a jolt of energy, but it will also give you a crash.  I’ve found that FRS keeps my energy up for a longer period without the jolt or crash.  I would prefer not to have a bunch of caffeine to get me going, but that’s just a personal preference.

My main point with your comparison to real food, was that any manufactured energy drink will pale in comparison to actual food in producing high energy.  I believe FRS to be more healthy than Red Bull or Monster as an alternative, but as I noted above, it’s not really like those energy drinks.

The only real issue I have with FRS‘ business practices result from the customer being automatically included in the auto-ship program.  This was the reason I posted the terms of the free trial, so the readers can get as much information about the product and service as possible.  These terms are also available for you to read on their site and one more time before you actually submit your order for a free trial.  Additionally, their site provides references to many health studies regarding quercetin and the FRS product, so the consumer can be fully informed, if they so choose.  I just do not see all this information as “shady.”

I agree, there are many other, less-expensive options available.  There are also others that are as expensive or more, such as the Cytomax and Endurox, mentioned above.  Everyone responds differently to different products.  For example, Power Bar gel is less expensive than Gu, but Power Bar gel gives me massive stomach aches, whereas Gu does not.  At least FRS provides a free trial option before you spend $50 or more to get the same quantity of a comparable product.

Again, I appreciate your stopping by and giving us more background and information on your review of the product!
