High carbohydrate fuel built for high-intensity endurance efforts.

Tailwind Nutrition High Carb Fuel is a high carbohydrate drink mix designed for athletes looking to increase carbohydrate intake during demanding training sessions and races. Each serving delivers 90g of carbohydrate and 360 calories, alongside electrolytes to support hydration.

A blend of dextrose, maltodextrin and fructose provides carbohydrates in a 2:1 glucose-to-fructose ratio, allowing athletes to utilise multiple carbohydrate absorption pathways when fuelling at higher rates.

Unlike Tailwind's original Endurance Fuel, High Carb Fuel is specifically designed for high-intensity training and racing where maximising carbohydrate intake is the priority. It combines fuel and electrolytes in one easy-to-mix drink, making it a practical option for running, trail and ultra running, cycling and triathlon.

How to Use

Mix one pouch with approximately 475–710ml of water to taste. Shake well and sip progressively over approximately one hour.

High Carb Fuel can also be mixed toward the lower end of the recommended water range to create a more concentrated fuel source. If using it as a concentrate, consume additional water alongside it.

Gut Training

Consuming 90g of carbohydrate per hour can require gut training, particularly if you're not accustomed to higher carbohydrate intakes.

Tailwind recommends gradually building your tolerance during training rather than introducing 90g per hour for the first time on race day.
