Value of Tailwind

Value of Tailwind

We get it that performance matters more than price when it comes to nutrition, but why pay more than what you need to?

Because Endurance Fuel is a “complete fuel”, it contains all of the necessary calories and electrolytes an athlete needs. Many hydration competitors only provide a fraction of the required calories and electrolytes, thus they need to be supplemented with additional products.

Check out some math for a 10-hour race (2500 calories at 250/hour plus required electrolytes):

Tailwind Endurance Fuel

2500 calories:

- 25 scoops of Endurance Fuel = $17.99*

Required electrolytes:

- Included = $0

Total cost: $17.99

*non caffeinated Endurance Fuel from a 50 serving bag

Competitor

2500 calories:

- 1600 calories from the drink mix = $11.20

- 900 supplemental calories from gels = $14.00

Required electrolytes:

- 2 electrolyte pills an hour: $3.40

Total cost: $28.60

The Bottom Line

To get the same nutritional benefits from a competitor brand, you would most likely need to combine multiple products and you would end up spending about 37% more on your nutrition.

Tailwind really is all you need, all day. Really!
