aTAC Pouch Orange
Product Highlights
Description
TORQ aTAC is a powdered drink mix available in 2 flavours (Orange and Lime) which is to be added to 100-200ml of water and consumed at the first signs of a fever, cold or flu infection. This product can also be used in smaller doses during periods of high load training or whilst travelling at times when the body could be particularly vulnerable to infection.
Formulated with a potent blend of Vitamin C, Glutamine and Echinacea, these micronutrients have collectively been proven to reduce the severity & duration of symptoms of the common cold & flu. The formulation is to be taken at the first signs of infection and followed up with further doses as per the recommended protocol outlined under the product usage tab. Other uses/protocols are also explained under the product usage tab.
- 1000mg Vitamin C
- 1000mg Glutamine
- 500mg Echinacea
- 10g Carbohydrate
- 100-200ml Hydration
For Cold & Flu Relief
Take at the first signs of fever, cold or flu.
Mixing Instructions
Add 1 level scoop (1 dose) of powder to 100-200ml water, stir well & drink immediately. A scoop is included in the pack. More or less water can be used depending on how strong you would like the flavour to be. Always add the powder to water, not water to powder to avoid poor mixing.

The above protocol will deliver the following volumes of micronuturents:
Day 1 (based on 10 doses): 10,000mg Vitamin C // 10,000mg Glutamine // 5,000mg Echinacea
Day 2 & 3 (based on 6 doses): 6,000mg Vitamin C // 6,000mg Glutamine // 3,000mg Echinacea
Day 4 & 5 (based on 3 doses): 3,000mg Vitamin C // 3,000mg Glutamine // 1,500mg Echinacea
Protocol Variation
The above protocol is recommended based on the available mega-dosing research, as discussed in our Immune System Support Resources. If your symptoms are mild however and you feel that you might be ‘coming down with something’, you may find that a single dose before bedtime and once again the next morning is sufficient to give your immune system the support it needs to fend off the infection. On this basis, you could experiment with other less intensive protocols. If there is no doubt that you have an infection however and have obvious cold/flu symptoms, we strongly advise following the mega-dosing protocol recommended above.
For High Load Training or Travelling
Take a single daily dose when required.
Mixing Instructions
As above.
Recommended Product Usage
TORQ aTAC has been absorbed into the TORQ Recovery System range on the basis that research appears to support its efficacy for being used alongside TORQ’s other Performance Nutrition products (along with TORQ dFND) to support the immune system at times when the body is either under substantial stress from high training loads or when travelling internationally, such as on a crowded aeroplane with recirculated air. Often the two coincide – an athlete exhausted from training or competing who then has to travel.
Rather than mega-dosing as discussed above, which is a protocol specifically designed to fight an infection, we would recommend taking a single dose of TORQ aTAC daily during a particularly high load phase of training. Once the period of high training load has finished, stop taking the product. If travelling, take a single dose of TORQ aTAC the day before travel, a dose on the day of travel and a dose the day after and then stop taking the product.
IMPORTANT: Before taking this product, please consult your doctor or pharmacist if you are taking any prescription medication, have any medical condition, epilepsy, or are pregnant or breastfeeding. TORQ aTAC should support and not replace a healthy balanced diet.
