Specs
Research demonstrates that individuals can absorb up to 3 Torq units per hour whilst exercising, however Torq recommend that newcomers and smaller individuals start with 2 Torq units initially and experiment with higher doses over time. In warmer environmental conditions, or during higher intensity exercise when perspiration rates are high, they recommend that you lean towards a greater intake of Torq Energy Drink units. During cooler conditions when hydration is less of an issue, more of your fuelling units should be delivered via Torq Gels and Bars.
2:1 ingredient ratio as other Torq products Torq Gels have a blend of Maltodextrin, a long chain complex carbohydrate and Fructose (fruit sugar) this means its absorbed easier and gently on the stomach.
