TORQ
bar has been painstakingly formulated to produce a food that is ultra
high in carbohydrate, very low in fat and with ingredients wide-ranging
in glycaemic index for immediate and sustained glucose release. Just as
important, this bar has been designed to taste great with a cup of tea
too! All too often energy bars are dry and difficult to eat - and those
that aren't contain far too much fat. TORQ bars are delicious, moist
and chewy, containing just over 2grams of fat per 100 (a little over a
gram per bar) and packed with usable carbohydrate. This makes it the
perfect food and fuel choice before, during and after exercise.
TORQ bar was developed to satisfy the needs of athletes and
physically active people. Many energy bars on the market cater for some
of these needs, but TORQ don’t believe they have addressed them all. Here
is what athletes and physically active people need:
- Carbohydrate:
They ‘need’ carbohydrate full stop. They ‘need’ it whilst they exercise
to spare their limited glycogen reserves and at rest to top their
valuable stores back up again. TORQ bar contains over 70 grams of
carbohydrate per 100g (in excess of 45 grams per bar) and TORQ bar’s
unique blend of Maltodextrin and Fructose Syrup maximises ‘available’
carbohydrate.
- Glycaemic Index:
They ‘need’ a food with ingredients wide-ranging in glycaemic index for
immediate and sustained release of glucose into the bloodstream. TORQ
bar has been carefully formulated to include ingredients with low,
moderate and high glycaemic indices for this purpose.
- Ultra low fat:
They ‘need’ a food that is ultra low in fat to guarantee rapid
digestion and minimize the intake of ineffective calories. TORQ bar
contains only 2 grams of fat per 100g (just over a gram per bar). Check
the fat content of other energy bars on the market.
- Easy to eat:
They ‘need’ a food that is easy to eat, or they won’t eat enough of it
to derive the benefits. There are too many dry energy bars out there,
making it difficult to supply sufficient carbohydrate calories - the
ones that aren’t dry tend to contain too much fat. TORQ bar is
delightfully moist and chewy, yet it remains ultra low in fat and high
in carbohydrate.

TORQ Energy Natural
- Complex carbohydrate energy drink
- Neutral (flavourless)
- Can be added to food
- No colours, flavours, artificial sweeteners or preservatives
|
TORQ
energy NATURAL is made from an ingredient called maltodextrin, often
referred to as a glucose polymer. A glucose polymer's molecular profile
optimises the long-term energy providing properties of complex
carbohydrates, without the need to consume bulky starch-rich foods.
These bulky foods take a longer time to digest because they contain
fibre, an important, but metabolically useless nutrient. They also fill
and bloat your stomach making movement and sport in particular more
difficult. TORQ energy NATURAL, when diluted with the correct amount of
water, delivers a sustained supply of glucose to the working muscle.
This product can also be added to food to boost its carbohydrate
content. 4 level scoops of TORQ energy NATURAL mixed into a cup of soup
will be barely noticable, yet it will have increased its carbohydrate
content to that of a large bowl of pasta! This makes TORQ energy
NATURAL ideal for carbohydrate loading or aiding recovery between heavy
bouts of exercise.

TORQ
energy NATURAL FLAVOURED is a naturally flavoured high carbohydrate
energy drink, containing no artificial sweeteners, colours or
preservatives. TORQ energy NATURAL FLAVOURED has been painstakingly
formulated so that it delivers TORQ's unique blend of carbohydrate and
electrolytes to the working muscles through a drink that is lightly
flavoured, refreshing and most importantly NATURAL.
This
flavoured version of TORQ energy offers all the benefits of TORQ energy
NATURAL with a number of significant added qualities:
More available carbohydrate:
This drink’s ingredient matrix has been brought in line with some of
the most recent research into energy drink formulation. Two published
studies1,2 in 2005 offered quite staggering results when Maltodextrin
(TORQ energy NATURAL) was mixed with Fructose (fruit sugar) at a 2:1
ratio. Although Maltodextrin alone has been proven to be considerably
more effective than Fructose in isolation, when the two are mixed in
this 2:1 ratio, significantly more carbohydrate is made available for
use. These studies have demonstrated that a 2:1 Maltodextin to Fructose
mix caused athletes to burn 40% more carbohydrate compared with
consuming maltodextrin alone. What are the benefits? Quite simply, the
increased availability of carbohydrate means that you will be able to
sustain a higher pace for longer using TORQ energy NATURAL FLAVOURED,
making this product the most advanced formulation available to
endurance athletes on the market today.

TORQ Gel
- Optimal carbohydrate blend
- With electrolytes
- Natural flavours
- Light texture
- No colours or artificial sweeteners
- Naturally caffeinated option
|
Maltodextrin used in isolation has been proven to be considerably more
effective than glucose used in isolation because of its lower
osmolality in the gut. However, the recent research has compared
traditional ‘maltodextrin only’ formulations with a 2:1
Maltodextrin:Fructose blend and the results are nothing short of
staggering.
The texture of the TORQ gel is light and syrupy. It doesn’t stick to
your mouth and you don’t need water to wash it down. We have
deliberately designed this gel to be easy to consume when you are on
the move.

TORQ Recovery
- Optimal blend of carbohydrate and protein
- Ribose, HMB and Glutamine for rapid recovery
- Silky smooth
- Natural Flavours
- No colours, artificial sweeteners or preservatives

TORQ recovery is a highly advanced post-exercise nutritional drink
formulation that has been designed to repair, recharge and refuel
fatigued muscle tissue after heavy exercise. TORQ's unique matrix of
Glucose Polymers, Fructose and Whey Protein Isolate stimulate the rapid
absorption of carbohydrate to re-stock vital glycogen stores. TORQ's
active ingredients, D-Ribose, HMB, L-Glutamine and blend of carefully
selected vitamins and minerals work together to repair and recharge
over-stressed muscle fibres. We believe TORQ recovery to be the most
thorough and effective formulation of its kind on the market today -
yet we flavour it NATURALLY and use no colours or artificial
sweeteners. There is not a single ingredient within TORQ recovery's
formulation that isn't derived from a NATURAL source, or doesn't
naturally-occur within the human body.
