High carb💗

Love the flavors and fueled strong! Powered home on the bike with less intake of gels. No issues GI. I’m sold and switched over. Will be using on my first race next week 70. 3 Hawai’i and Kona IM. Love this new product

I’m a believer

I have been reading articles and following the high carb trend for a while now. Having been a long time, dedicated Tailwind fan for ultrarunning, I ordered the high carb mix the day it came out. I have been using it for my long runs training for Never Summer 100k and I am a believer!! The best way I can describe it is that usually I go through highs and lows on my long runs, but my energy is so steady. My bigger issue now is keeping my slow runs slow! Flavors are good (I’ve tried both the ginger lime and the lemonade) and no gut issues, even on hotter days. Now all I want is a big bag of it so I can dose more tailored to my run. Good work Tailwind!

Win Win for Ultrarunning

Used for training and racing a 50 mile trail ultra. I prefer liquid calories when running, and the high-carb formula covered me for calories, carbs, and electrolytes. I didn't experience any aftertaste, and the taste is mild and not chalky like other brands. It was very easy on my stomach. I used 3 packets of the high carb and alternated the standard formula (2 scoops) throughout the 12. 5 hour race. Had a small amount of whole food throughout the day, but relied mostly on tailwind. Nutrition was spot on, resulting in a successful race outcome . Never had stomach issues, never felt hungry, never felt gassed. Highly recommended!

Where has this been all my life?

Decided to FAFO and took in during the first hour of a four hour trail run. Wish I had brought more. I've been using Tailwind since 2016. This flavor was no more concentrated or stronger than the regular Endurance Fuel. It was so much easier to mix than Scratch High Carb (and I mixed a LOT of that crewing a friend at Woodstock). It's not starchy or clumpy. It was delicious, light in flavor, mixed well into 20 oz. of water, and I like that I covered carbs, hydration, and electrolytes in one bottle. Drank it in one hour with zero stomach issues. I'll definitely be using this at Highball to Thurmond 50K next month.

Nails the high-carb fueling game. 100%.

I have loved the normal Tailwind endurance fuel, it's been my go-to mix on the bike for over a year. I have always wished that there was a higher carb mix with a fructose blend. I have my first endurance MTB 100k race of the season coming up so I stocked up on Endurance fuel and BAM, the next day comes the email about HIGH CARB! Exactly what I wanted. I still had two months until my event, so I ordered it up and have started testing it out. YUP, NAILED IT. Perfection. Carb content, consistency (not thick AT ALL), mixes well, zero gut discomfort, rockin' flavors, YES. No going back to anything else. THANK YOU!

Slam Dunk! Checks all the boxes!

So glad you’ve joined the high carb revolution! I bought a 6 pack of both flavors and love both the zippy ginger taste and the classic and refreshing lemonade. The biggest selling points for me are ability to add more than 17 oz of water so I can stay hydrated, and the level of sodium so I don’t need to carry extra electrolytes.

Great flavor! The easiest 90

Great flavor! The easiest 90 grams of carbs has ever settled in my stomach! AND THE CALORIES I NEED!!!! I'm 6' 6" and 230ish pounds. I carry a lot of muscle and run long distances regularly. I have trouble taking in enough gel, and it's very hard for me to get in my calories and carbs without resorting to junk foods and snack cakes. NOT ANYMORE! A quick mix in my water bottle, and I get the carbs and calories I need without missing a single stride! Costly? sure, but the results are undeniable! Worth it in every way for this big guy!

Great flavor, works well for hourly fueling!

I have enjoyed trying out the Tailwind High Carb! It dissolves much easier than brands of high carb fuel that contain cluster dextrin (and clog my soft flask bite valves). I like the flavor of lemonade better than ginger lime (my preference). Running in the NC heat I have to take in 1L of fluids per hour so I dissolve 1 sachet in 1L of water and add a packet of unflavored salt mix to hit 1600mg of sodium/hr. If I want more carbs or caffeine I throw in a gel or two. Works really well for me and reduces what I need to carry!

Outstanding product!!

The high carb fuel was hands down the best product I’ve tried! Foremost the easiest on my gut. I followed the instructions on how to use it and had no issues. The balance of flavor and sweetness was perfect for the fact I didn’t feel like one was used more to hide the other. Definitely not icky sweet which most are that I’ve tried. Also really like the mini rapid hydration packets I can throw in my work bag. I’ve used those 1-2 spread out the following day after a long trail run to balance out my electrolyte replacement.

High Carb Perfection

I have been a Tailwind Endurance fuel user since 2019 and am a big fan of the product. So I was very excited to see a high carb version hit the market. I am a fan so far. The flavors are obviously a little sweeter but there is enough tartness to cut it. I used to supplement my Tailwind w/ gels and other sports nutrition. But with the new product I can mostly just rely on liquid carbs. Both flavors are great, but I am personally partial to the ginger lime.
