Rapid Hydration

ELECTROLYTES + VITAMIN C

Quench your thirst and quickly replace what you sweat out with the right mix of electrolytes and vitamin C.
Mixes fast and clear with a fresh, light taste to optimize your hydration.

Clean, light taste

Rapid Hydration's delicious fruit flavors are light and pure, sweetened with a touch of cane sugar. With no salty aftertaste or light sweeteners, your taste buds will thank you.

Maximize hydration

Rapid Hydration maximizes water absorption - more than when you drink water alone - by using your body's active transport mechanisms to hydrate quickly.

ELECTROLYTES + VITAMIN C

We researched it. We tested it. We asked experts about it, so you don’t have to. Protein during exercise doesn’t improve endurance, but it does correlate with GI distress. Studies show no significant endurance difference between carb-only and carb-protein drinks. Protein is a complex molecule that is hard to digest, potentially shutting down your digestive tract during exercise and causing stomach issues.

No aftertaste

No diet or artificial sweeteners such as stevia, monk fruit or sucralose. Your taste buds will enjoy the natural flavors that shine through.

Endurance fuel

COMPLETE ENERGY + ELECTROLYTES + HYDRATION

The composition of our Endurance Fuel matches what the body absorbs.
Our Endurance Fuel is made with all-natural ingredients and flavors.
It mixes crystal clear with water to meet your calorie, hydration,
and electrolyte needs no matter how long a day is ahead of you.

Better absorption

Endurance Fuel’s glucose/sucrose fuel takes advantage of how our bodies absorb nutrients. The combination of fuel, electrolytes, and water has a synergistic effect, allowing the body to absorb more of each. Once in the bloodstream, the glucose fuels muscles directly, allowing athletes to go longer at higher intensities.

Easy on the gut

Not all stomachs can handle the sticky sweetness or hard-to-digest molecules found in most nutrition products. Sipping Tailwind provides steady, small doses of fuel that pass right through the stomach. The composition of Tailwind’s fuel matches what the gut is made to absorb, so Tailwind enters your system quickly, without taxing the digestive tract.

What about protein?

High Carb Fuel

LOTS OF CARBOHYDRATES + COMPLETE ENERGY + ELECTROLYTES + HYDRATION

Designed specifically for
intense endurance efforts, this powerful and easy-to-mix drink contains a whopping 90 grams of carbohydrates
per serving in the scientifically optimal glucose-fructose ratio
of 2:1, so you can push longer and harder.

CARB POWER

Packed with easily absorbable carbohydrates, so you can hit the gas pedal hard and keep it up!

REDUCED PERCEIVED EXERTION

Go even harder and break through your limits.

Great taste, easy to mix

A clean, refreshing taste that is easy to mix and doesn't slow you down.

COMPLETE ELECTROLYTES

Balanced electrolytes ensure you get adequate fuel and hydration during your toughest efforts.

Recovery Mix

COMPLETE PROTEIN + CARBS + ELECTROLYTES

Tailwind Recovery mixed with water is the perfect post-workout recovery drink.
We add complete proteins, electrolytes, healthy fats from coconut milk and just
the right amount of carbohydrates.

Recovery Mix is also non-GMO, gluten-free, vegan, soy-free and dairy-free.

REPLENISH GLYCOGEN STORES

Recovery Mix contains the right kinds and amounts of carbohydrates to restore energy after a hard workout. We use simple sugars, dextrose and sucrose, that are easy to digest and go straight to your bloodstream to take advantage of the “golden hour” after exercise when the body can replenish glycogen stores more quickly than at any other time due to insulin sensitivity.

REBUILD MUSCLES

Only complete protein is used to rebuild muscle, while incomplete protein is burned as energy or has to be filtered by the kidneys. We start with organic rice protein and supplement with the nine essential amino acids to make a perfectly complete protein. Tailwind Recovery Mix contains 3x more complete protein per gram than whey protein isolate, making it much more efficient for rebuilding muscle and sparing kidneys from extra work during recovery.

REHYDRATE & RESTORE ELECTROLYTES

Recovery Mix contains sodium, potassium, calcium, and magnesium to restore electrolyte balance* and replace what you sweat out during your exercise. *Meets WHO hydration standards.
