I hate to concern you guys with this question but i dont know the answer. I help with a 5th grade P.E. class and i decided to go to one of the wrestling meets. After one of the kids matches his dad gave him RIPPED FUEL. This is a 5th grade boy!!!! He is a good athlete but what could this do to him. this cant be safe.

I took Ripped Fuel for a while when I first started training to lose weight. After a week I gave it up from the jitters, skin tingling and nervousness. I can't imagine giving that stuff to an elementary school kid.
