FRS Healthy Energy?

[Starfish]

I think it's a good excuse for people to eat like crap and then feel as if they are doing something 'right' for their bodies. A healthy diet full of fruits and veggies will give you the same benefits.

Buzzkill!!

I checked out the website, and this bit of text absolutely cracked me up:

Quercetin is a natural antioxidant found in the skins of apples, blueberries, and onions. It protects the adrenaline that your body naturally creates to give you energy for small daily tasks like staying awake at work <snip>. [Bold added by me.]

Oh those pesky daily tasks.
Like staying awake...

I think I've tried this -- little citrusy-chews, kinda like a Starburst in texture and flavor? Pleasant, but no noticeable increase in anything.

There's a drug being advertised on tv that has a side effect warning -- stop taking if you fall asleep while driving!

"MIRAPEX may cause you to fall asleep while you are doing daily activities such as driving, talking with other people, watching TV, or eating."

Are you kidding me???

At this point I either need a nap or get my blood moving. We're supposed to go for a ride in about an hour, but my desire to nap, and the nagging low grade headache is really bothering me. I've felt like this for a week.

No, I don't need anyone's magic $64.95 elixor. Just wish I felt better. Tried the nap alternative earlier in the week when I felt the same. So today I hauled my bike and we'll try that alternative.

I think I'd rather spend the $64.95 on REAL blueberries.

.... or COFFEE...!

Sounds like you need the FRS to counteract the MIRAPEX?

Why does Lance need to associate with something like this?

And there's another one, I forget which that says some have experienced side effects such as sleep walking and driving while sleeping

Why does Lance need to associate with something like this?

Because blueberries, apples and onions can't pay him. Let's face it, the things we do that are really healthy like eat food that's made from food, try to get enough sleep, and yes ... ride bikes don't have a marketing department, can't buy spokespeople, don't have Super Bowl adds.

I think $65 worth of lattes will give me a whole lot of energy...

A rep dropped a case off at work a few weeks ago, so I tried one. Boy, is it sweet! Maybe it's all the sugars that keep you awake. Ugh!
