Description
The Naked Flavorless Energy Gel compliments the existing flavor range by allowing you to structure a neutral flavor profile into your flavored fueling strategy. Cleanse the pallet without negatively impacting your energy delivery and maximizing performance.
The Naked Flavorless Gel has been carefully formulated to deliver Torq's unique blend of multiple-transportable carbohydrates quickly and efficiently using research-proven 2:1 Maltodextrin:Fructose technology.
Torq Gel forms part of the Torq Fueling System and can be used alongside Torq's energy drinks, bars, and jellies to fuel optimal performances.
Key Features
Key Features:- 2:1 Maltodextrin:Fructose: This drink's ingredient matrix has been brought in line with some of the most recent research into energy drink formulation. Two published studies* in 2005 offered quite staggering results when Maltodextrin (a long-chain glucose polymer) was mixed with Fructose (fruit sugar) at a 2:1 ratio and since then, many more studies have demonstrated similar benefits*. 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 absorb and use 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, making this product the most advanced formulation available to endurance athletes on the market today.
- Electrolytes: TORQ energy contains Sodium, Chloride, Magnesium, Potassium and Calcium to replace the 5 electrolytes lost through perspiration. These salts maintain homeostasis within the body, allow it to hold onto water and preserve muscle function. Some brands do not include all of these electrolytes in their formulations, or run them at lower levels than they should - some include none at all.
- Natural Flavors and No Colors or Preservatives: Under exercise stress, digestion is affected as blood is diverted to the working muscles, so irrespective of the health debate surrounding the consumption of artificial ingredients, during exercise is certainly not the time to take them. Therefore we only use natural flavors that the body can recognize and break down easily and we don't use colors or preservatives (artificial or natural), because they simply don't need to be in the product.
No Artificial Sweeteners: For the same reasons as highlighted above, we don't believe in the use of artificial sweeteners like Aspartame, Acsulfame-K, Saccharine and Sucralose. These artificial sweeteners are 100's of times sweeter than sugar and Aspartame/Acsulfame-K in particular are particularly controversial with regard to long-term health. Type either of them into Google and you'll get the general idea.

Our grand tour debut
After collaboration with Jasper Stoyven to understand the enduring requirements of the Tour de France, our flavorless gel was developed and debuted.
Torq's flavorless gel, developed for Jasper, is the perfect accompaniment to TORQ Gel’s amazing flavor profiles. The texture of the Naked Flavorless Gel is identical to the flavored Torq Gels and packs the usual solid 30g carbohydrate punch of fast-acting 2:1 Maltodextin:Fructose.
Energy evolved to keep you going further
Torq is research-driven and this is key to our philosophy. We do not fund research, but review, absorb and learn from it. We then use it to formulate better, higher functioning products than anyone else.
Torq Gel forms part of the Torq Fueling System The higher your perspiration rates, the more Torq Energy Drink you will need to consume relative to our more concentrated fueling units—Torq Gels, Torq Bars, and Torq Jellies.
All of our fueling products are optimized with multiple-transportable carbohydrates. The only difference between them is the texture: Smooth, Soft, or Chewy.
