I need the energy and the vitamins. I wonder if I just crushed a vitamin b pill into a fruit it would equal the effect of this frs drink.
Be careful with B3 (Niacin). It can make your skin feel warm and even itch. I tried one of those 5 hour energy drinks, and I could feel my skin getting warm. The effect usually goes away quickly though.
That reaction to Niacin is hit and miss in the general population it seems. It seems split between whether or not you'll get that flushed reaction.
The only big selling point of this FRS stuff is that is has quercetin which is supposed to be an immensely capable antioxidant, but I've yet to discover any research that claims it is an energizer. It may have anti-inflammatory capabilities (not in the sense of pained inflammation, but it may have a extremely small effect, need actual NSAIDs for true relief).
But, there does seem to be a good amount of evidence that it can help many drugs in the body. Whether this would be a 'good' or 'bad' thing would depend on what drugs it interacts with. If it interacts with a drug it most likely is prolonging the effect as it supposedly inhibits a specific enzyme from cutting down drugs. Some medicinal plants apparently also have quercetin in them as well, so this could be a natural effect.
Someone, quick... go take some of this stuff, or something that has a lot of quercetin in it, and then go get high afterward. Does your high last longer? :laugh:
I wonder if it prolongs the effects of caffeine and other energy drugs, like nicotine, ephedrine and amphetamines.
It'd become a new super street legal 'drug' if it boosted the effects of such energy products.
