Tailwind Endurance Fuel powder has a shelf life of about 2-3 years. The finished drink will last for about a week in the refrigerator.

Like other protein drinks, Tailwind Recovery Mix will lose its consistency if left unused. This does not affect the properties of the product, but for a better mouthfeel, it is worth shaking the bottle if the drink has been unused for more than an hour.

Tailwind Endurance Fuel contains all the energy, electrolytes, and fluids you need during your workout or race, so it doesn't make any sense to use gels with it.

Yes, but you should not heat the drink to boiling hot. In that case, the properties of the product may suffer and you may burn your mouth. Warmed Tailwind works well as an energy booster, even on winter ski trips.

Yes. Tailwind does not form a fuzzy film on the inside of the bladder, and the bladder is easy to clean by rinsing with water.

One full scoop of Tailwind Endurance Fuel powder contains 25 g of carbohydrates and 100 kcal of energy. Mix 2-3 scoops with the amount of liquid you drink within an hour. This will provide you with a steady 200-300 kcal of energy during your workout.

The simple and short answer is that your body uses sugar for fuel, and the less work your body has to do to break down your food into sugar, the faster and more efficiently your body absorbs the energy. For a longer explanation, see this blog post by Tailwind Nutrition.

Tailwind uses only natural, non-genetically modified ingredients in optimal proportions to ensure the drink is absorbed quickly and without irritating the body.

Maltodextrin, on the other hand, is a completely artificial product, often made from genetically modified raw materials, such as corn, rice, potatoes or wheat starch. Your body uses sugar as fuel during exercise, so this artificial product must first be processed in the intestines into sugar that the body can utilize. This process is really hard on the body, which is why the use of products containing maltodextrin usually leads to stomach problems, such as bloating, diarrhea or vomiting.

Maltodextrin, when used for a long time, can cause serious intestinal infections and possibly even more serious diseases.

I received confirmation from the manufacturer that 100 g of Endurance Fuel powder contains 2800 mg of salt. There was an error on one of the product batches, stating that there is 1.1 g of salt, but the person writing the product description got the words salt and sodium mixed up, meaning 2800 mg of salt = 1120 mg of sodium.

The effect of sodium (or magnesium) in salt on preventing cramps has not been reliably proven, but many believe that these electrolytes help, and sometimes faith can help. Instead, it has been convincingly proven that adding sodium to the liquid energy consumed during exercise enhances the glucose transport mechanism. This pump-like transport mechanism works with sodium and is responsible for transporting glucose through the lining of the small intestine into the bloodstream and from there into your muscles for fuel.

Along with sodium, the glucose pumping function also enhances the absorption of water into your bloodstream, increasing fluid absorption during exercise.

The manufacturer tested adding protein, but it was found to have no practical benefit during exercise. Instead, the likelihood of stomach issues increased significantly. If you are one of the lucky ones who can digest protein during exercise, you can add Tailwind Recovery Mix powder to Endurance Fuel if you wish. However, I do not promise any significant benefits from such an experiment.

Naked Endurance Fuel tastes mostly mildly salty, meaning it lacks all the sweet ingredients. For this reason, Naked Endurance Fuel may still be absorbed at that point in the ultra when all sweet products are heading back into the light of day (or the darkness of night).

I do not recommend caffeinated Tailwind products for children, but decaffeinated Tailwind products are safe for users of all ages. It is worth noting that children’s energy needs during sports activities differ from adults’ energy needs, so younger users may need to reduce their calorie intake below the recommended 200-300 kcal/h.

It is also worth remembering that Tailwind is high in sugar, so it is healthier for children to drink something else while watching TV. For more information, visit the Tailwind Nutrition blog. blogissa (englanniksi).

100 grams of caffeinated Endurance Fuel powders (Cola, Matcha, Raspberry, Tropical) contain 130 mg of caffeine. It is easier to understand this when it is said that one generous serving of powder contains 35 mg of caffeine and one sachet contains 70 mg. One sachet mixed with half a liter of water makes the drink 10% carbohydrate strength.

For comparison, a cup of filter coffee contains about 80-100 mg of caffeine and the safe upper limit for daily caffeine intake is considered to be about 400 mg per day, or about 12 liters of Tailwind mixed with 5% carbohydrates or 6 liters of Tailwind mixed with 10% carbohydrates.

After high-intensity and/or long-duration endurance training, recovery can be accelerated by consuming one sachet (or 1-2 spoons) of Tailwind Recovery Mix powder mixed with about half a liter of liquid immediately after the workout. After a very strenuous workout, it may be necessary to consume a double dose, but usually one sachet is enough to start the recovery process.

Tailwind Recovery Mix is ​​formulated to help you recover from endurance sports, and it contains protein and carbohydrates as well as electrolytes that you have lost during exercise. Like all Tailwind products, Tailwind Recovery Mix is ​​vegan and stomach-friendly.

All Tailwind products are lactose-free and gluten-free, so they are suitable for those following a lactose-free diet and those with celiac disease.

Recovery Mix products contain coconut milk powder, which technically contains nuts, but very few people are allergic to coconut.
