We knew that we needed to produce a single dose of our energy drinks, because thus far, the minimum tub size has been 500g (equivalent to 11 X 750ml bottles), but we have waited a long time to get this right and have done it in style. TORQ's new Single Measures aren't a sachet, they are a cool-looking bomb-proof aluminium canister with a screw top lid. This carries enough powder to make a single 750ml bottle of TORQ energy. These canisters are ideal to carry with you when you're out on a ride, enabling you to re-fill your drinks bottles or hydration system when you're out and about. This makes them a much more sensible choice than a sachet, which will just get soggy and might end up tearing and spilling its contents in your bag or pocket.
The innovation doesn't end there though. These canisters can be re-filled from one of our larger tubs, making your second serving extremely economical on the pocket. Add to this the fact the packaging gets re-used again and again - you know that environmentally you're keeping litter and waste out of the equation. These canisters can be re-used 100's of times and when/if they finally fail, they'll go into your aluminium recycling.

Refilled from a 500g tub: £0.90 per 750ml
Refilled from a 1.5Kg tub: £0.58 per 750ml
Refilled from a 3Kg tub: £0.43 per 750ml

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 studies published in 2005* and 2006** 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.
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: Perhaps a small benefit for sure, but if you're going to add flavour to your unflavoured TORQ energy NATURAL, this formulation will save you time. Just add the appropriate measure of product to your water bottle, give it a shake and its ready to drink.
So, why would you ever buy unflavoured TORQ energy NATURAL after reading about our flavoured products? The benefit of TORQ energy NATURAL is its simplicity. If you don't like flavoured products and want a neutral-tasting beverage, TORQ energy NATURAL is as effective at providing energy as any other product available on the market today. It can also be added to food as an invisible calorie to boost the carbohydrate content. It is not recommended that you mix TORQ energy NATURAL FLAVOURED on its own above 9% carbohydrate or you will overdose on electrolytes, so during cooler weather you can add TORQ energy NATURAL if you want to run a higher concentration.
DOSE: If exercising intensely, or for prolonged periods in the heat, mix 1 level scoop of TORQ energy with every 250ml water consumed (4 level scoops per litre). This is a 6% carbohydrate mix. If using TORQ energy during lower-intensity training or in cooler conditions, you can experiment with higher concentrations. We recommend that you do not exceed a 9% carbohydrate solution (6 level scoops per litre) of this product. If you would like to run a more concentrated carbohydrate solution than this, add TORQ's NATURAL or NATURAL ORGANIC unflavoured energy drink mix to your 9% solution. TORQ energy NATURAL and NATURAL ORGANIC are made from a pure carbohydrate glucose polymers and do not contain electrolytes or flavours.
MIXING: Half fill drink bottle with water. Add scoops of TORQ energy. Put top on bottle and shake vigorously. Top-up with water and shake again. TORQ energy is now ready to drink.
