TORQ bar has been painstakingly formulated to produce a food that is ultra high
in carbohydrate, very low in fat and with ingredients wide-ranging in glycaemic
index for immediate and sustained
glucose release. Just as important, this bar has been designed to taste great with
a cup of tea too! All too often energy bars are dry and difficult to eat - and
those that arent contain far too much fat. TORQ bars are delicious, moist and
chewy, containing just over 2grams of fat per 100 (a little over a gram per bar)
and packed with usable carbohydrate. This makes it the perfect food and
fuel choice before, during and after exercise.
TORQ bar was developed to satisfy the needs of athletes and physically active
people. Many energy bars on the market cater for some of these needs, but we
dont believe they have addressed them all. Here is what athletes and physically
active people need:
Carbohydrate: You need carbohydrate full stop. You need it whilst
they exercise to spare their limited glycogen reserves and at rest to top their
valuable stores back up again. TORQ bar contains over 70 grams of carbohydrate
per 100g (in excess of 45 grams per bar) and TORQ bars unique blend of
Maltodextrin and Fructose Syrup maximises available
carbohydrate**.
Glycaemic index: They need a food with ingredients
wide-ranging in glycaemic index for immediate and sustained release of glucose
into the bloodstream. TORQ bar has been carefully formulated to include
ingredients with low, moderate and high glycaemic indices for this
purpose.
Ultra low fat: They need a food that is ultra low in fat to
guarantee rapid digestion and minimize the intake of ineffective calories. TORQ
bar contains only 2 grams of fat per 100g (just over a gram per
bar).
Easy to eat: They need a food that is easy to eat, or they wont eat
enough of it to derive the benefits. There are too many dry energy bars out
there, making it difficult to supply sufficient carbohydrate calories - the
ones
that arent dry tend to contain too much fat. TORQ bar is delightfully moist and
chewy, yet it remains ultra low in fat and high in carbohydrate.
Tasty:
They also need a food that tastes so good that they choose to snack on it in
preference to high fat, less effective alternatives. Some energy bars are
encapsulated with chocolate to entice the customer into buying. Many of these
bars taste great, but you cant coat a bar with chocolate and keep it low in
fat.
Therefore the product becomes compromised and less effective in supplying
useful
energy. The careful formulation and preparation of TORQ bar has ensured a
delicious deep flavour, with a mouth-feel more commonly associated with a
higher
fat food.
Ribose: Finally, athletes and physically active people need to
recover quickly if they are to maintain a lively performance day in day out.
The
simple and complex carbohydrates in TORQ bar will rapidly re-stock the bodys
depleted glycogen stores, but will do nothing to address the actual energy
charge of the muscle cells. After particularly heavy physical training, full
recovery at a cellular level can take many days. Research has proven* that
supplementation with ribose can boost cellular recovery by a staggering
340-430%*. Ribose is natural sugar present within every living cell of the body
and is used to manufacture ATP (the energy currency of the cell) from scratch.
Whilst the body can manufacture its own ribose from glucose, this requires
energy and is a very slow process. Supplementing with ribose simply bypasses
this course of action.
TORQ bars are made with fairly traded fruit and
our ingredient listings are simple and NATURAL. TORQ Bars
