Product Description

Flavor: Sour Citrus Rush | Size: 3.28

Torrent sets a new standard for post-workout (PWO) nutrition, though often over-looked, this part of the bodybuilding equation, is the most critical aspect in the quest to foster new growth. Properly utilizing this time is vital for inducing overall muscle mass activation. Torrents formula is designed to maximize the window of opportunity that exists after a hard training session. After lifting, muscle protein synthesis can potentially be stimulated for hours. Simultaneously, the rate of protein degradation is also increased. In the absence of macronutrient intake, a bodybuilders protein balance would remain negative. If you want to build muscle this definitely isnt a good thing. This is where Torrent comes into play. It acts quickly and efficiently by supplying your muscles with a powerful cascade of precious nutrients in a matter of moments. After a hard workout your muscles are torn down, glycogen is depleted and your body enters a damaging catabolic state. For the bodybuilder, this is a state of red alert.When consumed immediately post-training, Torrents proprietary blend of muscle mass activators rush to bring your body back into green light status, quickly repairing damaged muscle fibers while triggering fresh growth. First and foremost, it has protein. Torrent is loaded with hydrolyzed whey protein, which consists of small whey peptides that can be quickly digested and absorbed. Torrent also contains a specialized Osmosulin Matrix of carbohydrates that allows for quick glycogen replenishment and the fastest possible absorption of muscle nourishing nutrients. This blend is packed with an optimal ratio of complex carbs from innovative waxy maize starch and maltodextrin and sugars from pharmaceutical-grade dextrose. This blend allows for a dramatic boost of insulin via simple sugars coupled with the nutrient drawing effects of high molecular weight carbohydrates. The formula is then generously spiked with 18 grams of a key proprietary blend of ...

5.0 out of 5 stars Exceptional Supplement: SCIENCE not HYPE, October 12, 2008

This review is from: Universal Nutrition Torrent (Health and Beauty)

Straight outta "Nutrient Timing" (Ivy & Portman). This stuff is the embodiment of the controlled studies science post workout complements of Glucose, Protein, Glutamine, Leucine, and Creatine. It hits your body, activating insulin and accelerating protein synthesis in that critical 30 mins post training anabolic window. And the stuff tastes amazing to boot, even though it contains hydrolyzed whey; green apple rocks!

I have a "REALLY" tough time gaining mass, but using this stuff over 3 weeks I gained 5 lbs of muscle while better shredding my abs. Who knew you could still loose fat and gain muscle outside of initial strength training?

The only criticism I have is that it has all those idiotic proprietary made up words on the nutrition label like, VOLUBILIZING, CREATONIC, ANA-IMA-DORK-FOR-BELIEVING. Apparently Universal fell prey to the same nonsensical words the snake oil salesmen make up to dazzle you.

Overall, a near perfect post exercise supplement.

5.0 out of 5 stars Absolutley Necessary, June 12, 2010

I have been lifting weights for 17 years, and in that time have practically tried every supplement possible. In the end this is my most favorite post-workout mix after starting it 2 months ago. If you lift hard or endure a grueling cardio session, this is the best supplement to gulp down immediately upon completion. I know the man who initially developed the ingredients to this before Universal took it over, and the guy is hardcore, knows his science, and can drop the weight and gain it at the drop of a dime. It has a very specific mixture ratio of protein, dextrose sugar, creatine, Leucine, etc., that maximizes results. After an hour of hard work your body's glycogen stores have been completely depleted and your body starts cannibalizing muscle and not fat. That is the danger zone and where this product get's that glycogen back in line, which also helps deliver the protein more efficiently.

Results? Well, in the last 2 months I have dropped significant body fat (I'm now around 6-7%) while on a strict diet but still maintaining strength and the same muscle mass. Any serious lifter knows how hard that is, and I give credit to Torrent for helping me do that. My only negative is that while the Cherry flavor is ok (reminds me of the old Juicy Juice my mom used to make me drink as a kid) the green apple is better. Green apple taste just like a Jolly Rancher, a bit of a treat at the end of your workout. ha!
Drink UP!

4.0 out of 5 stars Almost perfect post workout supplement, February 12, 2011

This shake has everything. Aminos, complex carbs,creatine and protein. It's almost perfect. I would prefer to see more than 20g of protein per 3 scoops(That's right kids, three weeks per container if you DON'T work out every day). 4 stars cuz the idea is right and it's the perfect science on post workout nutrition but getting big is really about diet, not supplements. Oh, and it tastes like cherry cough drops. But if you're serious about bodybuilding taste shouldn't matter.
