Its a non-caffeinated energy drink, relying heavily on quercetin, an antioxidant found in fruit. After drinking one of these before a run or workout, I've found that my overall energy levels have remained higher throughout the duration of the activity, as opposed to relying on energy drinks such as Red Bull or Monster. Additionally, FRS makes a chewable version that could be utilized while running, in lieu of having to carry the 12 oz can with you. The chewables work just as well as the drink, although they are rather pricey (grabbing a few from the free sample bowl at GNC is usually cheaper).
A can of FRS has 48mg of caffeine (about the equivalent of half a cup of coffee). *
