Questions

Before you order

Can't see your question? Message us and a real athlete on the team will answer.

Is Power Fluids a good Tailwind alternative?

Yes. Like Tailwind Endurance Fuel, Power Fluids is an all-in-one carbohydrate and electrolyte drink mix, so one bottle covers carbs and sodium together. Each 30g scoop gives 27g of carbohydrate from glucose and fructose plus 300mg of sodium, and a 900g pouch of 30 servings is £25.99, stocked and shipped from the UK. How to switch from Tailwind.

How much Power Fluids should I drink per hour?

Mix one 30g scoop with 500–750ml of water and drink it over about an hour. That is 27g of carbohydrate and 300mg of sodium. For 60–90g of carbs an hour, add 2 to 4 FTP Energy Pastilles alongside the bottle.

How much sodium is in Power Fluids?

300mg of sodium per serving, with potassium, calcium and magnesium. That suits most moderate sweaters. If you sweat heavily or it is hot, add an FTP Electrolyte Tablet to a second bottle rather than making your drink stronger.

Tart Cherry or Core: which should I choose?

Both have the same 27g of carbs and 300mg of sodium per scoop. Tart Cherry is caffeine free and made with 3g of real Montmorency tart cherry per serving. Core is a neutral citrus with a light 50mg of caffeine for key sessions and race day. Many athletes rotate the two.

Can I use Power Fluids with energy chews?

Yes, that is how it is designed. Fluids in the bottle, pastilles in the pocket: one bottle of Power Fluids plus 2 to 4 pastilles an hour gets most runners and cyclists to 60–90g of carbohydrate without relying on gels.

How fast is delivery?

We usually dispatch the same day if you order by 8pm UK time. UK mainland delivery is free on orders over £30, and most orders arrive 2 to 3 working days after dispatch.

A carbohydrate and electrolyte drink mix with light caffeine (50mg) designed for athletic performance. Customers said it's "great" for post-race recovery, particularly praising the cherry flavor option. The taster pack allows shoppers to try multiple flavors including citrus and cherry.

Signed ul for a 100mile event. Ordered the starter pack to try in training. And was really impressed. The pastilles are lovely, great flavours and textures. The power fluids were delicious and made it easier to keep hydrated. Tart Cherry is defo my favourite. Just deciding which bundle will be most beneficial.

Decided to try this a few months ago as an alternative to the more established brands and it’s excellent. I was recently diagnosed with Diabetes and therefore have to pay closer attention to carb fuelling. The FTP fuel has a pleasant flavour that doesn’t get tedious after a couple of hours. I’ve reordered several times and it got me through a season of Standsrd distance age group podium places!

great product. love it for a long run

Only used for 1 long run so far, so hard to give a comprehensive review. But Initial thoughts are.... Great tasting pastilles, they didn't get stick in the zip pouch which was fab. I did think the pastilles would dissolve easier, they did need a bit of a chew which, given their size, i will need to practice whilst running.... chewing, breathing, running, swallowing is not easy. But they did go down well, weren't sticky, and i didnt need a bucket of water after them, just a few sips. I haven’t tried the core drink yet so cant comment.

Donna S.

This is amazing for my workouts! It’s so quick, convenient and tastes amazing! So refreshing! It’s definitely something I will purchase again and again! Highly recommend for that little bit of a boost!

Best product I’ve used, both for in-ride fuelling and staying upright afterwards!

I’ve been using the FTP gummy’s for the past few months and now I’d hit the bottom of my liquid carbs bag I thought I’d try FTPs tart cherry. Well just like the gummy’s I’m a full convert now. The flavour is the best I’ve had in a mixer. It’s light on the tummy and despite being lower carbs that what I’d been mixing previously, it gave me the energy I needed. I can’t see myself drifting from FTP now. I’ve only been doing 40 mile stints on the bike unlike the heights of summer. But I’m only using 1 scoop and one bottle with a couple of gummy’s for this stint. Overall flavour 10/10, carb level 8/10 (I could mix it stronger), but given I felt I had plenty of energy in the tank and fresh 30+ miles in I can’t see me needing to go any stronger.

This product is brilliant. Kept me going both through and after a recent HM. Tastes great, no lumps and mixes fab.

Never had a carb powder before only ever used electrolytes and it was great to try both the citrus and cherry and the cherry will be great for after race recovery.

Very happy with the mix, first time using something like this. Big fan of the flavour as it’s not too sweet, helped me through a hot 23km the other weekend.

J
Jacob L.

Used it uesterday on a hot 70km ride and liked it a lot. Greta flavour, although I'd like it a little less sweet. Was easy on my stomach, no burps which was great compared to my previous drink. Went to order a subscription but out of stock. Any ideas on when you get a re up?

Absolutely amazing product! I completed IRONMAN 70.3 Swansea and used your chews throughout the entire bike course. They kept my energy levels consistent from start to finish, and I came off the bike feeling energised and ready for the run. I couldn’t have asked for better nutrition on race day. Thank you for producing such a fantastic product!
