Tailwind Nutrition Endurance Fuel, Carbohydrate & Electrolyte Sports Drink Mix Powder, Gluten-Free, Vegan, Tropical Buzz, 50 Servings (Caffeinated)

Can’t get enough of tailwind! I first started using it in March 2025 when training for my first ever Ironman and it noticeably improved my performance. Great nutrition, balanced sugars, helpful electrolytes, and a flavor that isn’t too strong. I recommend tailwind to any endurance athlete!

I love this drink! I’ve been using it for over 2 years now. Gives a good energy boost, has a great taste, and you feel the hydration! Great product!!

I first purchased a variety pack to try a bunch of the flavors, and honestly I liked them all. Tropical buzz was my fav, but I’m sure at some point I’ll switch it up for variety. I started trading for mountain bike races a couple years ago and my coach highly recommended tailwind. Before that I was trying to cobble together my own race fuel from various sources but this makes it so easy and is tasty. It fulfills all my nutritional needs and keeps me riding for longer. I highly recommend this product if you are an endurance racer. It’s not something I would recommend if you are not pushing your system. I.e. if you just want a delicious beverage, this is not for you. This is for serious athletes or people who simply push their systems to the limits. Flavor wise, it can feel overly sweet, but as an athlete that is one thing that needs to be replenished. I have not found a better product, imo, for this purpose.

I tried Tailwind on the recommendation of a friend training for a 100 mile ultra marathon. I've tried a few other similar products but have always been dissatisfied for one reason or another. In ththe past 2-3 weeks of using Tailwind for any of my longer trail/mountain runs (>7 miles), I've been impressed. I feel energized and haven't had any leg cramping issues, even on runs of 20+ miles. Haven't experienced any GI issues. I usually run with gels and electrolyte tabs by haven't had to use them since starting Tailwind. Tailwind tastes pretty good and is light and refreshing. No residue or nastiness in my Camelbaks afterwards. My only complaint is that at the end of a longer run, I intensely crave nothing but regular water. It's almost as if my thirst is not satisfied when I get towards the end. Maybe I'm getting too many electrolytes? I've been using a scoop less than the lower recommended concentration and that seems to be helping. I think I need to continue playing with the concentration. Bottom line: I haven't been dealing with any leg cramps since using Tailwind and I feel great during my runs. I will continue to use it whenever using my Camelbak and it is definitely a major part of my race plan for an upcoming 50k. 4.5 stars in my book.

As someone with a MS in nutrition, this is some of the best fuel out there for endurance athletes. Simple, clean carbohydrates, electrolytes, a little jolt of caffeine, and natural flavors. Nothing more, nothing less. It is recommended to consume at least 15 - 30g carb/hr during endurance activity, and studies show that when combined with caffeine, may result in increased performance. I use this for long mountain bike adventures. Clean taste, and leaves no residue in bottles. Also doesn’t result in bloating or other GI issues. All my riding buddies are hooked too! Highly recommend!!

Great for training with a bit more kick with the caffeine. I sometimes use it to start my ride if I’m dragging, or use it to end my ride to come in with a little extra zip.

Use this to supplement gels for my last marathon as my stomach has become volatile. Obsessed. Was very gentle on my stomach and tasted nice enough! I’ve put the folks in my run club on and now we are a Tailwind cult.

Look at the ingredients. I did not. It’s just sugar and a dash of caffeine. Jim Czachor

You want to go further then use this 👌

I notice a huge difference running ultras and marathons using this! Less thirsty and twice the energy. The hype is real with tailwind and you won’t regret buying it! Love it!

good product, seems to do the job and doesn't leave you with that horrific sweet taste in your mouth that you can get from other mix products

Been using this product for several years. I run and bike and this electrolyte mix has never been a problem (unlike others I've tried that bother my insides!)

I'm a big, big fan of Tailwind, but I was sent the wrong flavour (Tropical Buzz, not Mandarin). It's quite an expensive purchase and I'm super disappointed not to get what I ordered, especially as it's not covered by Amazon returns. I contacted Tailwind directly who were great and sorted a return & replacement in no time. Won't be ordering off Amazon again!
