One of the most annoying side effects of using an energy drink properly is that, despite the benefits, it can hit you hard where it hurts, in the pocket! A common mistake made by riders is that they save their energy fuel for special occasions like races and big rides. But if you want to get the most out of your training, you should use energy drink regularly before, during and after every training session and often even on rest days. If you buy one of the commercially available brands at between £5 and £8 per kilo, this can cost you a fortune.

TORQ glucose polymer is a natural tasting complex carbohydrate powder that can be mixed with water to make a drink, or added to food to ‘pep it up a bit’. There’s nothing flash about it, no electrolytes or flavours, just pure energy and it costs only £38 for 10 kilos (£3-80 per kilo) delivered to your door. If you make a large order, it will only set you back £3 per kilo.

The ingredient you’re looking for in a legitimate energy drink is ‘Maltodextrin’. This supplies the body with a long-lasting steady supply of glucose without causing peaks and troughs in your insulin levels. TORQ glucose polymer is 100% ‘Maltodextrin’.
