  • WHAT IS THE SERVING SUGGESTION OF ENDURANCE FUEL, RECOVERY MIX, AND ACTIVE HYDRATION?
    Endurance Fuel: What’s important to understand is that even though you may be burning 500+ calories/hour, your body physiologically can only process 200-300 calories per hour. So, in general, we recommend starting off with 200-300 calories (2-3 scoops) of Endurance Fuel in 500-750mLs of water per hour for 2+ hr workouts. For workouts less than 2 hours we recommend 100-200 calories (1-2 scoops)/500-750mLs of water per hour. Listen to your body. If you are feeling hungry dial up the number of calories, if feeling overly satiated/full, dial it back. The right amount may also vary based on the conditions (think temperature and humidity) and length and your intensity (how long, how hard, how far). When it’s hotter than your usual training temperature, keep the same calorie rate per hour, but increase water to thirst. ​ Recovery Mix: Mix a packet of Tailwind Recovery Mix (or 2 scoops from a bag) with 500mL of water (shaken not stirred). Drink within the first 30 minutes after exercise. For longer or more intense workouts, follow with another packet of Tailwind Recovery Mix in the following 30 minutes. ​ Rapid Hydration: Use Rapid Hydration during efforts or workouts under 1 hour. Mix one packet of Tailwind Rapid Hydration with 355mL of water for optimal flavour and hydration. If you have a larger bottle (example: 710mL) add two packets.
  • HOW MUCH CAFFEINE IS IN EACH OF THE TAILWIND PRODUCTS?
    Caffeinated Endurance Fuel flavours: Matcha, Cola, Tropical, Raspberry. Endurance Fuel caffeine content: 35mg/scoop, 70mg/single-serving pack. *We do not recommend consuming caffeinated Endurance Fuel for more than 6 consecutive hours at our recommended serving size ​ Caffeinated Recovery Mix flavours: Coffee. Recovery Mix caffeine content: 40mg/scoop, 80mg/single-serving pack. ​ There is no caffeine in Active Hydration.
  • ARE TAILWIND PRODUCTS SAFE FOR KIDS?
    Yes, absolutely! Caffeine-free Tailwind products are safe for all ages to use. ​ The caloric needs of children during exercise can be different than adults depending on age. Feel free to ease off our Endurance Fuel recommendation of 200-300 calories per hour ratio. Please note that Tailwind does contain simple sugars. It’s important to understand that your body works differently when exercising than when sitting on the couch. Here’s a blog post with more detail: click here. ​ We recommend Active Hydration for adults and kids doing shorter duration workouts and efforts.
  • WHY IS MY RECOVERY MIX LUMPY AND WON'T DISSOLVE?
    Tailwind Recovery Mix must be shaken not stirred! Stirring Recovery Mix will make it clump and it will not be a fun experience.
  • WHAT AMINO ACIDS ARE IN THE RECOVERY MIX?
    These are the 9 essential amino acids that are added to Tailwind Recovery Mix: L-Leucine, LLysine, L-Valine, L-lsoleucine, L-Phenylalanine, L-Threonine, L-Methionine, L-Histidine, L-Tryptophan. These make a complete protein. Unfortunately, our recipe is proprietary and we cannot share the amounts of each amino acid in our Recovery Mix.
  • HOW LONG DOES TAILWIND STAY FRESH?
    Tailwind powder has a shelf life of about 3 years. Once added to water, a good rule of thumb is to treat it like juice. After mixing, if left out, it's best to drink it within a day (even if it's warm, it tastes pretty good). If mixing before your event, and being kept refrigerated, you can mix it up to three days before. You can freeze or heat your Tailwind too. Great to add Tailwind ice blocks to your pack on a hot summer's day. ​ We do not recommend keeping leftover Tailwind from your flask/bottle or bladder.
  • CAN I CONSUME MULTIPLE PACKS OF ACTIVE HYDRATION?
    Yes, you can consume multiple packs of Active Hydration to meet hydration needs. To ensure proper mixing, use 1 packet per 355mL of water.
  • HOW MUCH CAFFEINE IS IN A SERVING OF COFFEE RECOVERY MIX?
    There is 80mg of caffeine in one serving (2 scoops or 1 single serving pack) of Coffee Recovery Mix.
  • HOW DOES TAILWIND WORK?
    Tailwind’s glucose/sucrose fuel takes advantage of how our bodies absorb nutrients. The combination of Tailwind’s fuel, electrolytes, and water have a synergistic effect, allowing the body to absorb more of each. Tailwind’s electrolyte profile mimics what you’re sweating out, once in the bloodstream, the glucose in Tailwind, fuels the muscles directly, allowing athletes to go longer at higher intensities while replacing valuable electrolytes lost through perspiration and effort.

  • You've probably reached the point about an hour into your exercise where you feel like you have nothing left in the tank - and that's basically true!

    ​

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

    ​

    Our products contain simple sugars (dextrose and sucrose) as our primary ingredients. Simple sugars go straight into your bloodstream to replenish glycogen stores and prevent you from crashing or having an upset stomach during or after exercise.

    ​

    Many exercise fuel and recovery products contain maltodextrin, a long chain of glucose molecules, which need to be broken down into individual glucose molecules before being absorbed by the small intestine. This takes longer than you would expect and causes GI distress for a lot of athletes. Your body runs on glucose so that's what Tailwind provides.

  • Tailwind’s electrolyte profile mimics the composition of sweat that an average person would sweat in one hour. If you want more information on electrolytes you can read about it here.

  • Our Endurance Fuel does not have protein in it for one big reason: protein is harder to digest (a contributor to GI distress) when you are exercising! Protein is essential for exercise recovery and overall nutrition, but not during activity. We recommend consuming a little protein at least an hour before you begin exercising, and absolutely including protein with your recovery after.

    ​

    That being said, it is fine to consume Recovery Mix during a longer endurance event. It is a great alternative to solid food during especially long feats since it is easier to digest. We have a blog where some of our athletes shared their experience with using Recovery Mix during exercise. You can read it here.

  • Tailwind Recovery mixed with water is the perfect post-workout recovery drink. We add complete protein, 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.

    ​

    Check out our science page for all the details on how our Recovery Mix works, and how it stands up to other proteins on the market.

  • You may have noticed that many sports drinks that contain protein conform to a certain carbohydrate-to-protein ratio. They may have a 4:1 ratio, or a 3:1 or a 5:1 ratio. This ratio is based on calories. For example, a sports drink with a 4:1 ratio that contains 100 calories of carbohydrate will contain 25 calories of protein. A 4:1 ratio of carbohydrate-to-protein is probably ideal if you are intending that protein to be used as fuel. In that case, adding protein to your sports drink is a way to add more calories, without adding more carbohydrates. If that’s your goal, that’s fine, but the goal of our Recovery Mix drink is to rebuild muscle.

    ​

    Tailwind Recovery Mix happens to have a roughly 4:1 ratio of carbohydrate-to-protein, but that has nothing to do with our method for determining how much protein to use. It turns out that, for the purposes of rebuilding muscle after a workout, protein that is not a “complete protein” is wasted. Incomplete proteins are not used to rebuild your muscles, they are simply burned as fuel. Only complete proteins are used to rebuild your muscles. (For more on complete proteins, see below)

    ​

    Tailwind Recovery Mix takes a very high quality rice protein, and supplements it with individual amino acids to create a perfectly complete protein. Then we add just the right amount of that complete protein to recover muscles, based on the latest science.

    ​

    So, while Tailwind uses a 4:1 ratio of carbohydrate-to-protein, that really isn’t what matters for a recovery drink. What matters is the percentage of your protein that is complete. The rest is wasted. We start with a high quality rice protein, and add individual amino acids until the protein is perfectly complete. Whey and soy proteins don’t even come close.

  • We have chosen a natural cane sugar sweetener for Rapid Hydration. Compared to artificial sweeteners, cane sugar is easy to digest and facilitates hydration via active transport mechanisms. It also assists as a flavour carrier and makes the drink taste better without having to add artificial flavour enhancers.

  • Rapid Hydration is naturally gluten-free, however, it is not certified gluten-free. This means the product is not tested for gluten during production. We have active measures in place to prevent accidental cross-contamination, but there is a very small chance gluten below 20 ppm can be found in Rapid Hydration. People with diagnosed Celiac should be aware of this.

SUSTAINABILITY

  • At Tailwind Nutrition Australia, our commitment to sustainability runs deep in every aspect of our operations. In our warehouse and office spaces, we prioritise energy efficiency by utilising smart lighting and maximising the use of natural light to save energy. The design of our workspaces incorporates energy-efficient windows and insulation, creating an eco-friendly environment for our team.

    Recycling is a fundamental part of our daily routine. We've implemented a comprehensive recycling program covering paper, plastic, glass, and other materials, demonstrating our dedication to responsible waste management. To further minimise our environmental footprint, we actively promote digital documents and double-sided printing in our office to reduce paper usage.

    As part of our exciting initiatives to address packaging waste, we encourage our customers to choose the larger bag over individual sticks, significantly reducing packaging and potential litter. Our individual sticks feature a thoughtful "spout" design, eliminating the need to tear away the entire top section and minimising the risk of contributing to litter.

    In the pursuit of sustainability, we've transformed our packaging practices by introducing a scoop made entirely from recycled materials, effectively reducing waste and showcasing our commitment to environmental care. Additionally, by keeping all our team members local, we contribute to a reduction in commuting emissions, further lessening our impact on the planet.
    At Tailwind Nutrition Australia, sustainability is not just a goal; it's a shared journey that shapes our operations to be both environmentally conscious and beneficial for the planet.
