1:1 PROTO Sample Pack GELS 6 Gels ( 2 x 3 flavours)
Product Highlights
Description
Our 1:1 Proto Energy Gels have been formulated specifically for ultra-high carbohydrate intakes of 120g+ per hour. TORQ use high-grade maltodextrin, a low-osmolality, high-glycaemic index form of glucose, and blend this at a 1:1 ratio with fructose.
Research has proven that 1:1 glucose-fructose formulations deliver extremely high levels of carbohydrate to the blood and have demonstrated some of the highest carbohydrate oxidation rates ever recorded. This high-level fuelling ultimately translates to stronger endurance performances.
The TORQ 1:1 Proto range consists of 3 energy gels and 3 energy drinks, with each product containing 40g of carbohydrate in a 1:1 glucose-fructose formulation. We have called these Advanced TORQ Units, or ATUs, since our regular TORQ Units apply to our 2:1 range. To achieve 120g carbohydrate per hour, you simply need to consume any combination of 3 ATUs.
The 1:1 Proto Energy Drink powders are added to 500ml water and provide 40g of carbohydrate along with the full complement of 5 electrolytes. The gels are much more concentrated and provide the same dose of carbohydrate in a much more compact package.
In warmer weather, when perspiration rates are higher, you should drink more Energy Drink ATUs and consume less Gel ATUs. In cooler conditions, when perspiration rates are lower, the opposite is true and less should be drunk, with more consumed via gels. Every situation is different and you should be prepared to adapt to the environmental conditions accordingly. Often these conditions can change during an event and you will need to adapt to maintain the hydration/fuelling balance.
IMPORTANT: TORQ 1:1 Proto products are only optimal at ultra-high carbohydrate intakes. Unless you are aiming to commit to 120g+ of carbohydrate intake per hour, you should use our regular 2:1 TORQ Fuelling System range of products.
