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.
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 studies 1,2 in 2005 offered quite staggering results when Maltodextrin 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.
Electrolytes: TORQ Energy NATURAL FLAVOURED contains Sodium, Chloride, Magnesium, Potassium and Calcium to replace the electrolytes lost through perspiration and to preserve muscle function. Some brands do
not include all of these electrolytes in their formulations – some include none at all.
Ready to drink: Just add the appropriate measure of product to your water bottle, give it a shake and its ready to drink.
