PRODUCT SUMMARY

Our TORQ Explore Flapjacks are soft, not-too-chewy, and deliciously tasty organic energy bars suitable for vegans or those who prefer a plant-based diet. Our Soil Association Organic certification means that the ingredients used in these flapjacks are from the purest sources, free from the pesticides and chemicals used in modern intensive farming. Organic ingredients also provide a richer, more wholesome flavor, something that immediately becomes apparent when tasting our flapjacks.

TECHNICAL INFORMATION

Our Explore range of products have been designed with the physically active person in mind. Our energy-enriched flapjacks have all the credentials of highly competent energy bar as well as being luxurious and tasty enough to consume at any time of day as a treat with a cup of tea of coffee.

Renowned for our cutting-edge Performance Nutrition products, TORQ are no strangers to the concept of fueling performance to the highest level. If you want an Energy Bar that will give you faultless performance and optimal energy delivery during high intensity endurance exercise, don’t hesitate in choosing our unrivalled class-leading TORQ Energy Bar. If on the other hand you’re a little more relaxed about your physical performance and you’re just looking for flavorsome, homely, energy-enriched goodness whilst pursuing your active lifestyle, look no further than our TORQ Explore Flapjacks. You may be using our performance-formulated TORQ Energy Bars whilst training and competing, but want to enjoy a tasty organic snack with a cup whilst you’re chilling out to help replenish your valuable glycogen stores? The TORQ Explore Flapjack accepts no boundaries – take it anywhere and everywhere!

Core to TORQ’s ethos is our commitment to purity and the use of organic ingredients where possible and this has been of primary importance during the development of our flapjacks. We are also renowned for producing highly functional energy products and these flapjacks certainly have the signature of TORQ engrained within them. They are packed with useful carbohydrate (43g per 65g bar) to help fuel performance and facilitate recovery, delivered not only from the organic oats, fruit, molasses and syrup, but also from organic maltodextrin, a low osmolality complex carbohydrate glucose polymer with superior carbohydrate delivery properties. The TORQ Explore Flapjacks are organically pure, highly functional and of course delightfully delicious.

Organic Certification & Fairly-Traded Fruit:

All TORQ Bars are certified Organic by the Soil Association. All bars also contain fairly-traded fruit, providing farmers in developing countries a fair price for their produce. These values and principles are extremely important to us at TORQ and whilst we accept no compromise with regard to product performance, the same applies to flavor, nutrient quality and how our ingredients are sourced.

No Flavors and No Colors:

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. Therefore, no flavoring is added to TORQ Bar (we just utilize the natural flavors already present in the ingredients) and we don’t use colors (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 are particularly controversial with regard to long-term health. They offer no performance benefit at all and so our stance here is the same as it is with colors and preservatives – if they don’t need to be included in our formulations for functional reasons, why include them?

 

 

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.
