Description
We consider TORQ's Non-Vegan Whey-based Recovery Drink to be the most thorough and effective formulation of its kind on the market today, and our Vegan version shares the same technology. We won't make any compromises, which is why we've used the highest quality plant-based pea protein rather than less effective, lower quality plant-based protein sources. D-Ribose and L-Glutamine are extremely potent micronutrients that add unparalleled enrichment to these recovery blends.
No flavors or colors are added to these formulations. The Creamy Cocoa blend uses cocoa powder to flavor it and the Robust & Fruity blend relies on the natural flavors in the orange juice you mix with it.
Like our Whey-based recovery drink, TORQ Vegan Recovery represents a 3:1 blend of carbohydrates and high-quality protein. It is generally accepted that consuming carbohydrates and proteins in a ratio of 3:1 immediately after exercise will accelerate glycogen synthesis. In other words, the addition of high-quality protein will help you store carbohydrates more effectively than consuming carbohydrates alone. It is also generally accepted that pea protein (in terms of quality and functionality) is the closest plant protein to Whey Protein. It is the fastest acting, most soluble and most easily absorbed/synthesized of the vegetable proteins, so it supplies the amino acids needed for muscle recovery with little delay.
Consuming TORQ Vegan Recovery within 15 minutes of completing training to take advantage of the glycogen storage window of opportunity is also essential. This is called the 'non-insulin phase' of carbohydrate absorption.
