TORQ are experts in hydration, use these drink sachets and cool bottle to rehydrate in the most effective way.
TORQ says:
TORQ Hydration drink has a hypotonic formulation, making it the fastest possible way to hydrate, especially when compared to water alone or electrolyte tablets.
The perfect drink for high intensity indoor training, TORQ Hydration mixes easily with 500ml of water and contains the full volume of electrolytes lost through sweating.
Our Hydration Drink Bottle Sample Pack comprises 2 x 18g single serve sachet of all 4 Hydration flavours plus our TORQ 500ml bottle with fluid level markings for accurate mixing. TORQ bottles are BPA-free.
Flavours included: 2 x Lemon, 2 x Tangerine, 2 x Watermelon, 2 x Red Berries
Please Note: TORQ Hydration is the new name for TORQ Hypotonic. The name and branding has changed, but the product is exactly the same. TORQ Hydration Drink uses passive and facilitated transport mechanisms to optimise fluid and electrolyte delivery. Its hypotonic formulation capitalises on the passive transport process, whilst the high sodium and mild glucose content drives the facilitated transport activity. This makes TORQ Hydration Drink the most thorough and effective hydration product on the market today, with significant benefits over electrolyte tablets.
TORQ Hydration Drink’s advanced hypotonic formulation is specifically aimed at optimising hydration where events/sessions are no more than an hour long, and heavy sweat loss is anticipated. Indoor training activities like Zwift, Sufferfest and studio cycling for cyclists and other indoor exercise classes like body pump and circuit training are good examples. TORQ Hydration Drink can also be used as part of the TORQ Fuelling System during longer events as an alternative to TORQ Energy Drink and is a popular choice with runners who can combine it with TORQ Gels to satisfy their fuelling and hydration requirements.
Our Verdict
TORQ have stood the test of time in the hydration and energy market, whilst many other brands have come and gone. Their years of experience have allowed them to develop highly effective products that really do work.
As a company, TORQ focus on using the highest-quality ingredients they can and they also put a lot into scrutinising their production methods. This means you are getting products that are amazing at helping you keep going on the hill, without any dodgy unethical ingredients or practises going into their manufacture.
They're also conscious about the effects their products and packaging have on the environment and do a lot of research into ways to lessen their impact.

Features
- Gluten Free & Vegan Formulation: TORQ Hydration Drink is a gluten-free hydration product. The formulation for TORQ Hydration Drink is also entirely plant-based, so is suitable for Vegans.
- Natural Flavours and No Colours: Under exercise stress, digestion is affected as blood is diverted to the working muscles and any solutes added to a product will raise its osmolality unnecessarily making it harder to absorb, so irrespective of the health debate surrounding the consumption of artificial ingredients, during exercise is certainly not the time to take them. Therefore, we only use natural flavours that the body can recognise and break down easily and we don’t use colours (artificial or natural), because they simply don’t need to be in the product.
- No Artificial Sweeteners: For the same reasons as highlighted above, we don’t believe in the use of artificial sweeteners like Aspatame, Acsulfame-K, Saccharine and Sucralose. These artificial sweeteners are 100’s of times sweeter than sugar and Aspartame/Acsulfame-K are particularly controversial with regard to long-term health. They offer no performance benefit at all and our stance is the same with these as with colours and preservatives – if they don’t need to be included in our formulations for functional reasons, why include them?
