Years ago Chainsmith was introduced to Tailwind through the Australian Ultramarathon community. For years we watched runners powering through intense kilometers (100km is not uncommon, 170km even!) and unbelievable elevation (eg. 10,000m). Interestingly, there were ultramarathoners ONLY running with Tailwind nutrition. We wondered how this was, and we wondered if it worked for cycling too.

After attending and then running nutritional information events, we found Tailwind was not only made of natural ingredient, but wasn't based in sugars like gels. It had everything in it to keep you running or cycling for days. That includes electrolytes. In other words, while maintaining your water intake, you simultaneously feed your body with everything needed for your choice of endurance sport.

Trying Tailwind was a revelation. Light in flavour unlike any sports drinks found at the supermarket, including everything and is easy on the stomach. As Tailwind states,

"Tailwind’s dextrose fuel is a form of clean glucose (the fuel that powers muscles and essential organs). It minimizes digestive effort and enters your system quickly, avoiding the stomach pile up that complex sugars and protein can cause."

VANILLA RECOVERY MIX STICK PACK

Tailwind stick packs are perfect for fueling and recovering on the go. 

Tailwind Recovery Mix is the first sport recovery drink based on a patent-pending perfectly complete protein. We start with organic rice protein and supplement it with amino acids to make that protein complete. Then we add carbohydrates, some healthy fats from coconut milk, and just the right amount of electrolytes. Nothing repairs your muscles more efficiently, restores your energy faster, and makes you feel better sooner. And athletes love the great tasting healthy vegan ingredients. As well as stick packs, Tailwind Recovery Mix is available in 15 serving bags.

• Replenish glycogen stores: contains the right kinds and amounts of carbohydrates to restore your energy after a hard workout.

• Recovers muscles: perfectly complete protein based on a patent-pending mathematical model to rebuild damaged muscle tissue and mitochondrial protein

• Rehydrate and restore electrolytes: sodium, potassium, calcium, and magnesium to restore electrolyte balance.
