FRS Energy/Recovery drink

[GLC1968]

I have not used it in conjuction with cycling, but I did try it a few years back. My workouts then were predominantly weight training, running and high intensity aerobics.

I did the free trial back then too. Honestly, I couldn't stomach it enough to take it as regularly as I should have. I think it's kind of gross, but I do know a few people who liked it. As far as benefits? Nothing of note.

If you like the taste of it, it's probably a nice addition to your normal intake...but as far as recovery drink? It's hard to remember, but I don't think it's got enough protien (or any?) to be effective (at least, not for my body).

I have not tried the recovery drink but have come up with a formula to immitate the energy supplement (a friend recommended the FRS system and because of the cost {2 cyclist in the household so everything is X 2} I did a little research and came up with this)

The main ingredients are Quercetin and Green Tea Catechins so I went to our local herb/supplement online tool

and researched the Quercetin. Found a good deal online (I chose the combo with Bromelain for its anti-inflamitory benefits)

Make jugs of green tea (cause it has the Catechins AND it is good for us) and simply take the supplements with a glass or two of tea...

voila...you have the benefits without the cost of extra nonessential "stuff"

Now...don't tell anyone!!!
