TORQ are experts in hydration. Use these gel sachets to maintain glycogen stores and avoid the dreaded 'bonk' while cycling or 'hitting the wall' while running.
TORQ says:
This product has been carefully formulated to deliver TORQ’s unique blend of multiple-transportable carbohydrates and electrolytes to the working muscles extremely quickly and efficiently using research-proven 2:1 Maltodextrin:Fructose technology and all 5 key electrolytes.
Each TORQ gel provides 30 grams of multiple-transportable carbohydrates (1 TORQ Unit), which is a significantly greater concentration than many brands on the market today featured in larger heavier packages. For optimal performances, our TORQ Fuelling System recommends consuming 2-3 TORQ Units per hour which can be achieved through consuming a variety of fuelling products. Consuming a TORQ Gel is simply one method of ingesting a TORQ Unit.
The higher your perspiration rates, the more TORQ Energy Drink you will need to consume relative to our more concentrated fuelling units – TORQ Gels, TORQ Bars and TORQ Chews. All of our fuelling products are optimised with multiple-transportable carbohydrates, the only difference between them is the texture; Smooth, Soft or Chewy.
Our Verdict
TORQ have stood the test of time in the hydration and energy market, whilst many other brands have come and gone. Their years of experience have allowed them to develop highly effective products that really do work.
As a company, TORQ focus on using the highest-quality ingredients they can and they also put a lot into scrutinising their production methods. This means you are getting products that are amazing at helping you keep going on the hill, without any dodgy unethical ingredients or practises going into their manufacture.
They're also conscious about the effects their products and packaging have on the environment and do a lot of research into ways to lessen their impact.
