Great product
I used this last weekend on my long ride , and it worked well.
I like that I do not have to concentrate my bottles to get the amount of calories and carbs I need/use for long workouts.
I have been struggling with finding a new product that works for me.
I am looking forward to my century ride this weekend and to use this new product.

Super easy to digest. Less palate fatigue.
I’ve never been able to get 90g of carbs in per hour until trying this fuel. Love it!

I didn’t like this one
I have liked most of the flavors of Tailwind I’ve tried over the past 10 years but I didn’t care for this one. I am finding that Taklwind has just too much sodium in it for me and causes issues with bloating and kidney issues. I really wish you could make Tailwind with the same calories but half the sodium. And if you’re reading this, yes I could dilute it but that wouldn’t give me the calories I need.

Never thought I'd go for "tasteless" as a flavor!
I use High Carb as a "gel-like" concentrate, as I like to manage my carbs + hydration separately. That said, it's remarkably thin even with a full serving mixed with a few of tablespoons of water, so isn't hard work like regular gels. I enjoy a bit of a flavor-punch as I run, so the ginger lime has always been an easy winner for me, however with the advent of the new green apple, tart cherry, and unflavored options... I'm now spoiled for choice!
I never would have imagined actually enjoying an unflavored option, but frankly it's not half bad. In fact, on days when I'm going "a bit further", it's a little more appealing as the miles tick by. I also particularly appreciate the composable scoops in the beta bags... well done team!

FAQs

What are the benefits of high carb intake?

Carbohydrates = energy. When done properly, taking in 90+ grams of carbs per hour can deliver increased energy, reduce perceived exertion and lower markers of muscle damage so you can push harder, for longer.
Why do I need to train my body to absorb High Carb Fuel?

The typical limit for carbohydrate absorption without training your gut is around 60g per hour. To avoid GI distress, we recommend slowly increasing your carbohydrate intake over a period of several weeks. Think of it as building to a peak for your most important events, just like you do in training.
How do I train my body to absorb 90g of carbohydrates per hour?

We recommend using the timeline below to increase your tolerance for carbohydrates. Train with High Carb Fuel during your high intensity training sessions and workouts that mimic the event you are training for. For lighter or recovery workouts, stick with Rapid Hydration or Endurance Fuel.
Week 1: One packet of High Carb Fuel over 90 minutes
Week 2: One packet over 80 minutes
Week 3: One packet over 70 minutes
Week 4: One packet over 60 minutes
What are the differences between High Carb Fuel and Endurance Fuel?
Endurance Fuel:
- 50g of carbohydrates, 200 calories and 610mg of sodium per single serving packet
- Steady energy is provided by non-GMO dextrose (glucose) and cane sugar
- Easily absorbed without gut training/very low GI risk
- Complete electrolytes
- Clean, light flavors; less sweet than HCF
- Intended for sustained long duration efforts over one hour in length
High Carb Fuel:
- 90g of carbohydrates, 360 calories and 660mg of sodium per single serving packet
- Energy is provided by dextrose (glucose), maltodextrin, and fructose
- Complete electrolytes
- Gut training required
- Higher sweetness than Endurance Fuel
- Intended for high intensity efforts when maximizing energy uptake is critical
When should I use High Carb Fuel?

Use High Carb Fuel during high intensity training and racing when you need to sustain a high work rate.
How do I use High Carb Fuel?

Mix one packet with 16-24oz (500-750ml) of water, shake and go! Sip regularly over one hour. High Carb Fuel can also be mixed at the lower range of the water recommendation in a more concentrated form. If using it as a concentrate, make sure to drink plenty of water in addition to your High Carb mixture.
What are the carbohydrates in High Carb Fuel?

High Carb Fuel contains dextrose (glucose), maltodextrin and fructose. Dextrose and fructose are simple sugars which absorb quickly, while maltodextrin provides additional glucose and minimizes sweetness. This formula provides a pleasant flavor profile and mixes easily in water.
Can I mix High Carb Fuel with other products to increase the sodium content?

Tailwind High Carb Fuel contains 680mg of sodium per serving which should be enough, even for heavy sweaters. We recommend increasing water intake before adding more electrolytes to maintain the balance between water and electrolytes in your bloodstream.
Can I use High Carb Fuel with gels or other Tailwind Products?

High Carb Fuel is meant to be a complete source for energy, electrolytes and calories. Since High Carb Fuel maximizes absorption via the glucose and fructose transports, adding gels or other drink mixes to your fueling program increases the risk of GI distress from incomplete absorption.
