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!
