Productivity In A Can
Sick of the jittery aftermath that coffee causes, but still in need of a boost? According to one study, there’s a new product on the market that provides more than just a pathway to alertness.
Advertised today on howlifeworks.com, FRS (“Free Radical Scavenger”) is the newest trend in “drinkable energy.” The advertisement boasts that the product “seemingly ends the quest for an energy boosting solution that’s both healthy and effective and, amazingly, seems to also improve people’s ability to concentrate and perform better at work.”
The purported secret? The antioxidant Quercetin, which is in FRS and supposedly as a viable source of productivity in a recent study:
FRS and a non-Quercetin placebo were consumed daily by two groups of workers at a university over a 3-week period. At the end of the study, the group that received the FRS with Quercetin reported a significant improvement in their level of work performance and their ability to concentrate. They also reported reduced fatigue and reduced feelings of frustration compared to the placebo group.
Throughout history, there have been many enticing ploys that promise to make life easier; everything from diet trends to get rich quick schemes to elixirs that improve mental and physical ability. Regardless of the product however, an empty guarantee is usually the hidden tagline.
That’s why being cautious of “too good to be true” deals is a valuable tool in the quest for success. Rather than falling victim to what the scheme is offering, take the opportunity to reflect on what the scheme is promoting. If you are intrigued by a drink that claims to make you more productive, evaluate why you feel unproductive in the first place. By identifying faulty areas, you can easily recognize the disconnect in the process and restore it accordingly. Improving productivity can be as simple as rearranging your schedule or creating a new way to work. Bottom line: good results come from working hard, working smart and utilizing reliable, trustworthy resources.
So is this drink just another gimmick or can improved work performance really be consumed through a can? Whether or not its worth a test trial, Slaughter Development simply believes, you get what you pay for. Contact us today!

Interesting point.
Might be an approach to helping people determine problems they are not aware of — by asking for the solutions they are interested in.
While a cautious consumer should always be suspect of such offers, turning it to a self analysis tool is an innovative approach.
