Just as important this bar has been designed to taste great with a cup of tea too! All too often energy bars are dry & difficult to eat
- & those that arent contain far too much fat. TORQ bars are delicious moist & chewy containing just over 2grams of fat per 100 (a little over a gram per bar) & packed with usable carbohydrate. This makes it the perfect food & fuel choice before during & after exercise.TORQ bar was developed to satisfy the needs of athletes & 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 & physically active people need: Carbohydrate: You need carbohydrate full stop. You need it whilst they exercise to spare their limited glycogen reserves & 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) & TORQ bars unique blend of Maltodextrin & Fructose Syrup maximises available carbohydrate**. Glycaemic index: They need a food with ingredients wide-ranging in glycaemic index for immediate & sustained release of glucose into the bloodstream. TORQ bar has been carefully formulated to include ingredients with low moderate & high glycaemic indices for this purpose. Ultra low fat: They need a food that is ultra low in fat to guarantee rapid digestion & 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 & chewy yet it remains ultra low in fat & 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 & keep it low in fat. Therefore the product becomes compromised & less effective in supplying useful energy. The careful formulation & 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 & physically active people need to recover quickly if they are to maintain a lively performance day in day out. The simple & 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 & 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 & is a very slow process. Supplementing with ribose simply bypasses this course of action.TORQ bars are made with fairly traded fruit & our ingredient listings are simple & NATURAL.
