High Carb Fuel is Tailwind's higher-carbohydrate option for harder training and racing. One full serving supplies 90g of carbohydrate with electrolytes, so it belongs in a practised plan rather than being introduced for the first time on race day.
Use it well
Follow the instructions on the exact pack and practise higher carbohydrate intake progressively in training. Consider the rest of your food, drink and electrolyte plan before adding other fuel products.
It is designed for high-intensity or demanding endurance efforts where a higher carbohydrate target is appropriate. It is not automatically necessary for every session.
Tailwind's current instructions say to mix one full serving with 475–710ml water and sip it over about an hour. Use the exact pack supplied as the final instruction source.
Tailwind questions
One full current serving provides 90g of carbohydrate. Check the selected pack and serving format before use.
High Carb Fuel provides a higher carbohydrate serving using dextrose, maltodextrin and fructose. Endurance Fuel is the lower-carbohydrate Tailwind option for sustained efforts and uses a different carbohydrate formula.
Tailwind recommends building higher carbohydrate intake gradually over several weeks. Start in training and extend the progression if you experience digestive discomfort.
Tailwind's current instructions say to mix a full serving with 475–710ml of water and sip it over about an hour, or use it more concentrated only alongside enough additional water.
High Carb Fuel already supplies a high carbohydrate load with electrolytes. Count everything in the complete plan and avoid adding products automatically; practise the exact combination in training.
Tailwind describes the current High Carb Fuel formula as gluten-free, vegan, dairy-free and soy-free. Recipes can change, so check the ingredients and allergen information on the exact pack supplied.
