Tailwind High Carb Fuel (90g) Lemonade & Ginger-Lime

From an ingredient standpoint, Endurance Fuel contains simple sugars and electrolytes, while High Carb Fuel features a mix of simple sugars and complex carbohydrates, along with electrolytes. 

What is the Carb/Sugar Mix in High Carb Fuel? 

High Carb Fuel contains a mix of dextrose, maltodextrin, and fructose. This combination offers several benefits: 

• Fast energy from simple sugars 

• Sustained energy from maltodextrin 

• A pleasant flavour profile with reduced sweetness compared to simple sugars alone 

• Easy mixing with water for a smooth drink experience 

When Should You Use High Carb Fuel? 

HCF is designed to support high-intensity efforts and maximise energy uptake for athletes who have trained their guts to absorb high levels of carbohydrates. It can enhance performance and reduce perceived exertion when pace and energy expenditure are high. However, for longer endurance efforts, a more measured pace, or to minimise the risk of GI issues, Tailwind Endurance Fuel remains the preferred choice. 

What’s the Difference Between Endurance Fuel and High Carb Fuel? 

• Endurance Fuel: Provides steady energy, electrolytes, and hydration while minimising the risk of GI distress. It has a light, clean taste and isn’t too sweet, making it easy to consume over long durations. 

• High Carb Fuel: Designed for athletes who have trained their guts to absorb high carbohydrate levels, providing more energy in every sip.
