Torq Energy Bar & Energy Chew Sample Pack (6 Pieces)

TORQ Bars

Our TORQ Bar was the first performance product we ever produced (back in 2003) and recently we have evolved the recipe so that all of the new wave of TORQ bars are certified Organic by the Soil Association. All TORQ Bars, aside from the orange flavour bar also utilise fairly-traded fruit.

TORQ Bar forms part of the TORQ Fuelling System, so can be used alongside TORQ’s energy drinks, gels and chews to fuel optimal performances. Please take the time to read about the TORQ Fuelling System by clicking HERE and ensure that you get the most out of this product.

Each TORQ Bar provides 30 grams of multiple-transportable carbohydrates (1 TORQ Unit). 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 as illustrated in the table below. Consuming a TORQ Bar is simply one method of ingesting a TORQ Unit.

TORQ Chews

TORQ Chews are deliberately chewy, because we believe that the key to successful fuelling is all about providing variety. We are all individuals and it is important for us to produce products that allow our customers to consume optimised carbohydrate forms in different and interesting ways. TORQ Chew’s formulation has been optimised with 2:1 Glucose-Derivatives:Fructose, so that it will provide the fastest possible delivery of carbohydrate once consumed.

Multiple-Transportable Carbohydrates: TORQ Bar utilises a blend of glucose-derivatives and fructose founded on a now substantial body of peer-reviewed published research (see References tab). The carbohydrate sources for TORQ Bar come from a special extremely low osmolality organic maize-derived maltodextrin (a long chain glucose derivative), organic oats, organic raisins, organic rice crisps and organic fructose syrup. 12 to 13% of the TORQ Bars’ ingredient matrix is derived from organic fruit – the fruit that gives the bar its flavour profile.

Hypertonicity: The concentrated nature of TORQ Bar pitches its tonicity firmly in the hypertonic zone, meaning that the product has been optimised to prioritise fuel delivery over fluid supply. This, in combination with the unique integration of multiple-transportable carbohydrates and their soft, moist and chewy texture makes TORQ Bar an extremely potent useable fuel source. The TORQ Fuelling System outlines how TORQ Bars should be used in combination with our other fuelling products, so please take the time to read this section of the website.

Easy to Eat: It’s a simple concept, but one of the main motivations for engineering the TORQ Bar back in 2003 was because every other energy bar on the market was impossible to eat and it made sense to us that the first rule of sports nutrition had to be “You’ve got to be able to eat it”.

Low Fat: Another nutritional fundamental is that an energy product MUST be low fat for it to deliver the carbohydrate contained within it quickly and efficiently and although this is not a problem linked to energy drinks and gels on the market, manufacturers seem to struggle to keep the fat content low in their energy bars.

No Artificial Flavours and Colours: Under exercise stress, digestion is affected as blood is diverted to the working muscles and any solutes added to a product will raise its osmolality unnecessarily, making it harder to digest. So, irrespective of the health debate surrounding the consumption of artificial ingredients, during exercise is certainly not the time to take them.

No Artificial Sweeteners: We don’t believe in the use of artificial sweeteners like Aspatame, Acsulfame-K, Saccharine and Sucralose.

Hydration Management: Remember, TORQ Bar will clearly not satisfy your hydration requirements.
