Product Description
With modern carbohydrate goals pushing past 90 grams an hour, the limiter for athletes often becomes the gut. Somewhere north of that mark, the glucose pathway that ordinary drink mixes rely on hits its ceiling, and adding more carbohydrates of the same kind only compounds the issue.
TORQ's 1:1 Proto Energy Drink is built for high-carb goals, using a high-grade maltodextrin blended in a 1:1 ratio with fructose so your body can absorb both forms at once, delivering 40 grams of carbohydrate and a full five-electrolyte profile per serving.
Push Past the 90-Gram Ceiling - Standard 2:1 drink mixes run into your body's glucose absorption limit around 90 grams of carbohydrate an hour. This formula pairs maltodextrin with an equal amount of fructose, so you can keep adding carbohydrate past that limit without the gut distress that comes from overloading a single absorption pathway.
Hit 120 Grams Without the Hassle - Each 500ml serving counts as one Advanced TORQ Unit, so three servings, or a mix of servings and 1:1 Proto gels, gets you to the 120-gram hourly target without tracking ratios mid-effort.
One Bottle Covers Fuel and Electrolytes - Five electrolytes, sodium, chloride, magnesium, potassium, and calcium, travel alongside the carbohydrate in every serving, replacing what you sweat out without a separate electrolyte product.
Glucose, what maltodextrin breaks down into, moves through one gut transporter that maxes out around 60 grams an hour no matter how much more you drink. Fructose rides a separate transporter, so pairing the two lets you push past that ceiling instead of stalling right at it. TORQ's 1:1 ratio sends close to equal amounts of glucose and fructose into your system, the mix athletes reach for when raising carbohydrate intake without wrecking their stomach mid-effort.
How to Use TORQ 1:1 Proto Energy Drink
Dose: Mix 2 level scoops (included) into 500ml of water for one Advanced TORQ Unit: 40 grams of carbohydrate plus your electrolyte dose.
This formula is built for athletes committing to around 120 grams of carbohydrate per hour. Below that intake, TORQ's 2:1 lineup may serve you better.

Torq 1:1 Proto High-Carb Energy Drink Mix FAQ's
Everything you need to know about Torq 1:1 Proto High-Carb Energy Drink Mix.
Reach for the 1:1 Proto when you're targeting around 120 grams of carbohydrate per hour. If you're fueling below that, Torq's 2:1 lineup is the better fit since it's built for lower intake targets.
That's actually the point of the ratio. Glucose (from maltodextrin) and fructose use separate gut transporters, so splitting your carbs 1:1 between them spreads the absorption load instead of overloading the single glucose pathway that causes gut distress at high intakes.
Mix 2 level scoops (included) into 500ml of water for one Advanced Torq Unit. That gives you 40 grams of carbohydrate plus a full five-electrolyte dose.
No. Each serving already carries sodium, chloride, magnesium, potassium, and calcium alongside the carbohydrate, covering fuel and electrolyte replacement in one bottle.
Three servings gets you to 120 grams, or you can mix servings with 1:1 Proto gels. Each 500ml serving counts as one Advanced Torq Unit, so you don't need to track ratios mid-effort.
