This special sample pack includes 2 packets of each flavour of TORQ Energy Jellies:
- 6 x TORQ Energy Jellies
- 2 x Berries Flavour
- 2 x Orange Flavour
- 2 x Lime Flavour
TORQ Energy Jellies have been carefully designed to provide TORQ’s unique blend of multiple-transportable carbohydrates to your working muscles quickly and efficiently using research-backed 2:1 Glucose technology.
As part of the TORQ Fuelling System, TORQ Jellies can be used alongside TORQ’s energy drinks, gels, and bars to support optimal performance.
Each pack of TORQ Jellies delivers 30g of multiple-transportable carbohydrates (1 TORQ Unit). For optimal performance, the TORQ Fuelling System recommends consuming 2-3 TORQ Units per hour, which can be achieved by using a combination of fuelling products. Consuming a pack of 6 TORQ Jellies is one way to ingest a TORQ Unit.
When perspiration rates are high, you will need to consume more TORQ Energy Drink in relation to the more concentrated fuelling units; TORQ Jellies, TORQ Gels, and TORQ Bars. All TORQ fuelling products are optimised with multiple-transportable carbohydrates, differing only in texture; Chewy, Smooth, or Soft.

TORQ Jellies are available in packs of 6 Energy Chews and boxes of 15 (15 x 36g packs). Sample packs allow you to purchase individual TORQ Jellies packs to try, or combine with other TORQ products.
Each pack of TORQ Jellies contains 30g of multiple-transportable carbohydrates, representing 1 TORQ Unit. Each individual energy chew contains 5g of these carbohydrates.
TORQ Jellies offer a convenient way to consume 30g of carbohydrate (1 TORQ Unit) over time, with a soft, chewy texture and delicious flavours making them an enjoyable fuel option during exercise. Since all TORQ fuelling products contain the same 30g dose of carbohydrates, the beauty of the TORQ Fuelling System lies in offering a wide range of flavours and textures to suit different preferences.
Multiple-Transportable Carbohydrates: TORQ Jellies use a 2:1 blend of glucose-derivatives and fructose, based on extensive peer-reviewed research. This dual-delivery carbohydrate formulation has been proven to supply energy faster than any other combination of carbohydrates.
Hypertonicity: The concentrated nature of TORQ Jellies places them firmly in the hypertonic zone, optimising fuel delivery over fluid supply. Combined with the unique integration of multiple-transportable carbohydrates and their chewy, easy-to-swallow texture, TORQ Jellies provide an extremely potent concentrated fuel source. The TORQ Fuelling System outlines how TORQ Jellies should be used with other fuelling products.
Hydration Management: TORQ Jellies are not designed to meet your hydration needs, so it's essential to use them alongside TORQ Energy Drink for optimal performance. As confirmed by the TORQ Fuelling System, in high perspiration situations, you should limit TORQ Jellies consumption in favour of more TORQ Energy Drink to meet your body’s fluid and electrolyte needs. Conversely, in low perspiration environments, TORQ Jellies and other concentrated TORQ Units such as TORQ Gel and TORQ Bar should play a more significant role in your fuelling strategy. Maintaining 2-3 TORQ Units per hour in every scenario ensures optimal fuelling, with adjustments to drink more of your fuelling units in high perspiration conditions and less in lower ones.
TORQ also produces a hypotonic product called TORQ Hydration, designed for situations with exceptionally high perspiration rates where fluid delivery takes precedence over fuel supply, ideal for sessions lasting less than an hour in warm environments, such as high-intensity indoor training. In these cases, TORQ Hydration Drink is more suitable than TORQ Energy Drink or any of Torq's more concentrated fuelling products like TORQ Jellies. With the rise of indoor cycling platforms like Zwift and Sufferfest, longer sessions are becoming more common. For workouts lasting over an hour, whether indoors or outdoors, proper fuelling and hydration are necessary, so the principles of the TORQ Fuelling System will apply.
Easy & Pleasant to Eat: A simple but crucial concept, the flavour and texture of TORQ Jellies energy chews have been meticulously developed to make fuelling with this product not only effective but also enjoyable. TORQ Jellies resemble the texture of traditional jelly before hot water is added; those concentrated jelly chunks you might remember from childhood. However, TORQ Jellies are plant-based, free from colouring, and formulated with physical performance in mind. The igloo-shaped design of each energy chew also makes them easy to dispense from the packet.
Gluten-Free & Vegan Formulation: TORQ Jellies are a gluten-free fuelling product, and their formulation is entirely plant-based, making them suitable for vegans.
Natural Flavours & No Colours: During exercise, digestion is impacted as blood flow is directed to working muscles. Adding unnecessary solutes can raise a product’s osmolality, making it harder to digest. Therefore, Torq use only natural flavours that the body can easily recognise and process, and they don’t use colours (artificial or natural) because they are unnecessary in the product.
No Artificial Sweeteners: For the same reasons mentioned above, Torq avoid using artificial sweeteners like Aspartame, Acesulfame-K, Saccharine, and Sucralose. These sweeteners are hundreds of times sweeter than sugar and can be controversial concerning long-term health. They offer no performance benefit, and Torq's stance is that if they are not necessary for the product’s function, they should not be included.
Research clearly shows that fuelling with carbohydrates and consuming a Recovery Drink immediately after exercise not only boosts performance and aids in recovery but also supports the immune system, reducing vulnerability to infections.
According to research by Gleeson and Bishop (2000), carbohydrates become an essential fuel for immune system cells, which can increase tenfold during and post-exercise compared to resting conditions. These cells are boosted by the body to enhance immunity during this vulnerable time, and carbohydrates support their effectiveness. Additionally, research by Cupps and Fauci (1982) indicates that cortisol, a stress hormone linked to immunosuppression, is inhibited by the presence of carbohydrates.
Ed Burke (2002) dedicates two pages in his book ‘Serious Cycling’ to the role of carbohydrate fuelling during exercise in strengthening the immune system. He notes that sports drinks not only provide energy during exercise but also reduce stress on the immune system. Carbohydrate drinks with a concentration of about 6 to 10% (like TORQ Energy Drink) won’t eliminate the stress of cycling, but research shows they can reduce the increase of several stress by-products during hard exercise.
In cooler conditions, when drinking an energy drink is less appealing, as the Torq Fuelling System suggests, carbohydrate can be delivered in more concentrated forms like Torq Energy Jellies, Energy Bars, and Energy Gels.
This all underscores the importance of maintaining good fuelling practices and consuming carbohydrates immediately after exercise. TORQ Recovery Drink provides these carbohydrates, along with a potent dose of Glutamine, which also supports the immune system after exercise.
