Summary
Universal Nutrition's 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. Torrent’s formula is designed to maximize the anabolic “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 bodybuilder’s protein balance would remain negative. If you want to build muscle this definitely isn’t a good thing. This is where Universal Nutrition's 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, Torrent’s proprietary blend of muscle mass activators rush to bring your body back into anabolic “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 anabolic 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 advanced aminos and creatines… An anabolic matrix that will put your muscles in post-workout recovery overdrive. When consumed immediately after intense training this potent blend induces a powerful anabolic surge that shuttles nutrients into your starved muscle cells.
Heightened anabolism, rapid nutrient transport, insulin potentiating all delivered by means of a delicious post-workout growth cocktail. Torrent is an anabolic force mother nature never intended. Blow your plateaus away with Universal Nutrition's Torrent.

I ordered some crimbo presents from play.com 7 days ago and still not turned up, i ordered some supplements at miday yesterday and they turned up 24hrs later, great service.
I hit the gm about three days a week, train JKD 1-2 times a week, jog, climb and play squash. I found that i was aching all the time, especially after doing heavy weights. I did some research on the net and found that a post workout supplement would be best for me. After reading various reviews on line i narrowed the potential supplements down to afterglow, torrent, dark matter and cnp pro recover. Whilst searching the web for a good deal i come across Torrent for only £20 (1.5kg) at the supplement store and decided to give it a go. Now i have read many reviews so i was aware that the cherry flavour was not very popular but this was the only flavour on offer, so this is what i have got. I hit the gym today with a new found enthusiasm and after working my back and traps hard i mixed 3 scoops of torrent with 20oz of water, this equated to just under 800ml, quite alot i thought. Anyway i proceeded to mix the product in a shaker and it mixed very easily. I started to chug it down and thought to myself, this cherry flavour is actually quite good. However, this sentiment did not last for long, when i stopped to take a breath the revoulting aftertaste hit me like a sledge hammer. Then the smell made me nearly puke. I mean i actually nearly puked all over myself. I downed the rest! Alot of people when reviewing products look down on people who like a good tasting beverage and say things like 'i dont drink supplements for the taste its for my temple', honestly!
The bad taste and pungent aroma aside i really like the look of this product and felt pretty good after dowing it. i have been thirsty eversince and been pissing like a racehorse. The proof will be in the morning, will the ach be any less, will wake up like the hulk, but cherry colour. I'll update soon.
FAQs
- Q.
Does this product not have quite a high level of sugar content, nearly half the carb content is sugars??
- A.
Post- workout products should have a large amount of "fast carbs" - carbs that are absorbed quickly - such as various sugars, maltodextrin, certain waxy maizes, etc. This helps to crank up insulin levels, which are responsible for increasing the delivery of creatine, protein and carbs into the muscle.
Other meals should have "slower" carbs if you are trying to stay lean and healthy but not post-workout.
