TORQ Hydration is an advanced hypotonic formulation specifically aimed at optimizing hydration and providing light fueling for events/sessions which are no more than an hour long, and heavy sweat loss is anticipated - intervals, turbo training, gym training, spin classes, and other high-perspiration sessions. It is also an effective pre-drink to help boost fluid levels without rapid rise in blood sugar.

Each TORQ Hydration serving contains only 15grams (0.5 TORQ Units) of carbohydrate, so is very light on calories (60 kCals per 500ml), which means that achieving optimal fueling for longer durations using this product alone is literally impossible as it would require consuming 2-3 litres of fluid! It is therefore essential that you read and understand the TORQ Fueling System and consume enough of TORQ’s solid fueling units – TORQ Gel, TORQ Bar and TORQ Chew – if you are going to use TORQ Hydration as a means of delivering fluid during extensive endurance sessions.

Our advice for longer efforts, where fueling is required as well as hydration, is to use TORQ Energy as your drink source, because the isotonic nature of this product will provide a better balance between fueling and hydration – that said, the choice is clearly yours, as long as you understand that your goal in the endurance scenario is to consume 2-3 TORQ Units per hour. Some people will prefer the lighter flavor and mouthfeel of TORQ Hydration, and that’s fine as long as you understand the Fueling System rules! Ultimately, using TORQ Hydration as your fluid delivery source during longer efforts will require a greater consumption of the concentrated TORQ fueling units.

Usage: TORQ Hydration is presented in a resealable pouch containing 540g of Hydration powder and a scoop – enough to make 30 X 500ml drinks. 1 scoop makes 500ml (16oz) of TORQ Hydration. If using a 500ml bottle, be sure to leave a small amount of air space to facilitate mixing. Shake vigorously and top up with water if necessary. Don’t add water to powder, add powder to water.

Ingredients (Lemon, Tangerine, & Watermelon Flavors): Sucrose, Dextrose, Citric Acid, Natural Flavoring (3%), Electrolytes (Sodium, Chloride, Calcium Lactate, Potassium Chloride, Magnesium Carbonate). Fact panel below is for the 30 Serving Pouch

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.
