| The FRS Energy Chews contain the same patented energizing blend of antioxidants, vitamins, green tea, and more that you'll find in FRS Plus. FRS Soft Chews are individually wrapped in a 30 count bag and are ideal for travel. Simply unwrap and eat. You can keep them in your gym bag, handbag or car so they are there whenever you need them. Two of these chews contain the same potent nutrition of an 8 oz serving of FRS Plus.
As a training supplement, energy chews are a pleasant departure from the usual drinks or gels. During a race, there is something about being able to chew on something that makes it more sustaining, without being filling.
Antioxidant Synergy
The key active ingredients are the flavonoid antioxidants quercetin and the catechins. The formula has been designed to enhance the performance of the flavonoids through the integration of seven key vitamins and metabolic enhancers.
• Power of Quercetin - Quercetin is known as a potent antioxidant that helps fight free radicals before they can cause cellular damage. Primary dietary sources of quercetin are blueberries, red onions, apples, and spinach. A recent animal study demonstrated that FRS Plus significantly increased the concentration of quercetin in blood plasma, compared to a quercetin tablet. Significantly, the study findings suggest that the combination of ingredients in FRS Plus extends the duration of an effective level of quercetin in the blood, which is an important factor in enhancing quercetin's overall effectiveness.

• Green Tea Catechins - Catechins, the flavonoids from green tea have strong antioxidant properties. Epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG), the primary type of catechin found in FRS Plus, is the most powerful of the catechins. Researchers at the University of Kansas Lawrence have found that EGCG is 100 times more potent than vitamin C in protecting cells and DNA from free radical damage in vitro. (results presented at the 1997 American Chemical Society meeting).
Suggested Use: Eat 2 chews in the morning and 2 in the afternoon and whenever you need extra energy or a pre-workout boost.
