WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN RAPID HYDRATION, ENDURANCE FUEL, AND RECOVERY MIX?

Rapid Hydration is for everyday hydration and shorter efforts, with electrolytes and real cane sugar to help replace what you lose when you sweat. Endurance Fuel is built for longer efforts, combining calories, electrolytes, and hydration in one easy-to-digest mix. Recovery Mix is for after training or racing, with 20g of complete plant-based protein, carbohydrates, and electrolytes to help rebuild, refuel, and rehydrate.

WHICH TAILWIND PRODUCT SHOULD I USE DURING A RACE?

For longer races and endurance efforts, Endurance Fuel is the go-to for steady calories, electrolytes, and hydration. For shorter efforts or when you primarily need hydration, Rapid Hydration is a lighter option. After you finish, Recovery Mix helps replenish what you used along the way.

HOW MUCH ENDURANCE FUEL SHOULD I USE PER HOUR?

A simple place to start is one bottle per hour, then adjust based on your effort, conditions, and individual fueling needs. Tailwind is designed to make fueling easy to track without turning your race plan into a spreadsheet.

WHY DOES TAILWIND USE REAL SUGAR?

Because during exercise, sugar has a job to do. Tailwind uses carbohydrates your body can absorb efficiently to provide energy and support hydration. Rapid Hydration uses real cane sugar, and our formulas are built around making fuel easy to digest and useful when your body needs it most.

IS TAILWIND EASY ON THE STOMACH?

That’s one of the biggest reasons Tailwind exists. Our endurance nutrition is designed around simple, easy-to-digest ingredients and light flavors that are made to keep going when you do, without adding unnecessary complexity to your fueling plan.

DOES TAILWIND USE ARTIFICIAL SWEETENERS?

Rapid Hydration is made with real cane sugar and no artificial sweeteners. More broadly, Tailwind’s approach is focused on simple ingredients and clean, light flavors without the artificial aftertaste you may get from some other hydration products.

ARE TAILWIND PRODUCTS GLUTEN-FREE, DAIRY FREE, VEGAN, SOY-FREE?

Yes! All products are gluten-free, dairy-free, vegan, and soy-free.

DOES TAILWIND CONTAIN CAFFEINE?

Some Tailwind flavors may contain caffeine, while others do not. Check the individual product or flavor details when choosing your fuel.

WHEN SHOULD I USE RECOVERY MIX?

Use Recovery Mix after training, racing, or other hard efforts. It combines 20g of complete plant-based protein, carbohydrates to replenish glycogen, and electrolytes to help rehydrate — so your recovery can start when the workout ends.

THE REAL PROBLEM

ENDURANCE NUTRITION GOT WAY TOO COMPLICATED.

Gels. Chews. Electrolyte pills. Calories per hour. And then hoping your stomach cooperates.

Tailwind was created to make endurance nutrition simpler, so you can spend less time managing your fuel and more time doing what you came to do.

WHAT ATHLETES ACTUALLY SAY

SARAH M.

5/5 RATING

My stomach has always been terrible during runs, but Tailwind helps me without causing any stomach problems. It mixes well, doesn’t mess with my stomach, and keeps my energy high on long workouts.

CHRIS T.

5/5 RATING

For century rides I can get by with just Tailwind. I couldn’t do that with other products. Simple, effective, and the flavors don’t make you gag at mile 80. I’ve been using it for 3 years.

JAMIE R.

5/5 RATING

Finally something that doesn’t give me stomach issues. I used it for my entire 70.3 Half Ironman, 6.5 hours on nothing else, and felt great. No stomach problems, no cramping.
