IT ALL STARTED WITH MY HEAD IN A TRASHCAN.

I had never raced a mile in my life. So naturally, I signed up for the Leadville 100 MTB. Go big or go home, right? I had trained long, hard hours on the bike. I had done the work. I had a full stomach, and I was ready. Fast forward 10 hours: cramped, uncomfortable and questioning every life choice I’d ever made, I crossed the finish line and promptly headed for a trashcan where I purged the muesli that had been waging war on my stomach since the starting gun. I was fed up with the wrong fuel, so I followed my gut to something better.

I began chasing the unicorn: crisp, clean, convenient fuel that works with our bodies instead of against them. For months, I devoured the science behind sports nutrition and experimented with powders in my makeshift kitchen lab. Then, after months of testing on the trails and tweaking my formulas, Tailwind Nutrition was born. Because endurance sports take guts. Let’s give ours what they need to run smoothly.

FAQs

IS TAILWIND VEGAN & GLUTEN-FREE?

Yes, ALL of Tailwind’s products are vegan, gluten-free, non-GMO, soy and dairy free.

HOW MUCH POWDER IS IN ONE SERVING?

Ack! You just opened your bag and can’t find the scoop, not to fear, we’ve got you covered.

A standard serving is 27g, which equates to 0.95oz or 2.4 tablespoons. Each scoop of Endurance Fuel is 100 calories, 25g carbs and 300mg salt and each scoop of Rebuild Recovery is 120 calories, 5g protein and 20g carbs.

WHAT SHOULD MY INTAKE OF TAILWIND BE?

Fuel
We recommend consuming one single serving packet (27g), mixed with 24oz (about 710ml) of water per hour of activity. Just pour, shake and go. Adjust your intake to meet your personal calorie needs and use hunger as a guide; if you feel hungry, increase your calories.

Recovery
We recommend consuming one single serving packet (27g), mixed with 16oz (about 500ml) of water within 30 minutes after exercise, to take advantage of your body’s ability to efficiently replenish glycogen stores during this time window. Just pour, shake and recover. For longer or more intense workouts, follow with a second serving of Rebuild in the next 30 minutes.

WHY DOES IT CONTAIN SO MUCH SUGAR?

Your body stores energy in the form of glycogen (sugar) which has enough to get you through about an hour of exercise. Once it runs out, your blood sugar plummets and you bonk hard, so to avoid the crash, you need to put sugar back into your bloodstream.

Tailwind products contain simple sugars (dextrose and sucrose) as their first ingredients, as they go straight into your bloodstream to replenish glycogen stores and prevent you from crashing or having an upset stomach during or after exercise.

Most sports fuel and recovery products contain maltodextrin, a complex chain of sugar, which is difficult for the body to digest and often causes GI issues. Your body runs on glucose and it's important to replenish your glycogen stores with simple sugar during and after exercise.
