🏃 Why Athletes Choose Tailwind

Tailwind Nutrition was created by endurance athletes who wanted a simple, stomach-friendly way to fuel long efforts. Each drink mix combines carbohydrates, electrolytes, and hydration into one easy-to-digest formula—so you can ditch complex fueling plans and focus on your run.

• 💧 Hydration: balanced sodium, potassium, calcium, and magnesium
• ⚡ Fuel: complete calories from clean glucose–sucrose blends
• 💪 Recovery: post-run mixes with protein and carbs for rebuilding

🥤 How Tailwind Works

Mix one scoop with 16–24 oz of water for short runs, or two scoops for longer training sessions. Tailwind is designed to sustain 60–90 g of carbs per hour—the sweet spot for marathon and ultra-distance fueling. The mild flavor profile keeps it palatable in heat and high effort, while the clean ingredient list minimizes GI distress.

Runners love Tailwind because it just works: no sticky gels, no energy crashes, no complicated math—just fuel, sip, and go.

🍋 Flavors & Varieties

From crisp citrus to chocolate recovery, Tailwind offers mixes for every stage of training:

• Endurance Fuel: Lemon, Berry, Mandarin Orange, Naked, Raspberry
• Recovery Mix: Chocolate, Vanilla, Salted Caramel
• Tailwind Rebuild: Protein-enhanced recovery formula
• Caffeinated Options: Buzz line for an extra kick on race day

🏆 Tailwind vs. Other Fuels

Unlike traditional sports drinks loaded with artificial sweeteners or maltodextrin, Tailwind uses real food–based sugars and natural electrolytes. It delivers clean, smooth energy without spikes or stomach issues. Many athletes combine Tailwind with real-food gels from Hüma or Untapped Maple for a balanced fueling strategy.

💡 Training Tips

• Start sipping early—don’t wait until you feel thirsty.
• Use one serving (~25 g carbs) per 8 oz water for long runs.
• Alternate between Skratch Labs and Tailwind if you prefer different flavor intensity.
• Pair with whole-food snacks or gels during races over 3 hours.
