Review from
220 Triathlon
The latest release from the midlands fitness and nutrition collective Torq is the natural Vanilla pod energy drink. It's a complex carbohydrate fuel with a 6% carbohydrate mix of maltodextrin (glucose polymers) and fructose (2:1 ratio), along with a healthy balance of essential electrolyte minerals. Many independent studies have shown that the 2:1 ratio of maltodextrin and fructose makes more carbohydrate readily available for the muscles, as opposed to using maltodextrin or fructose on its own. Servings that make up 500ml, 750mm and 1ltr of drink provide 30,45 or 60g of carbohydrate, making it ultra easy to adjust to your type of workout or race. The Vanilla flavour is a mild and refreshing taste, so it's an ideal choice if you're looking for a well formulated energy drink and especially if you're looking for one that lacks colouring, artificial sweeteners or flavourings. On that note alone, this energy drink certainly gets our vote.
In conclusion...
No nasties, refreshing and a good combination of electrolytes.
