Tailwind Nutrition, the manufacturer of sports nutrition products for athletes, is launching Active Hydration, a drink mix containing electrolytes, collagen and vitamin C.
Active Hydration mixes clear with water, has a light, fruity taste, and keeps the body balanced and hydrated.
“Tailwind has fueled adventures with Endurance Fuel for ten years and helped athletes recover quickly with Recovery Mix. Customers asked us for a way to hydrate for shorter or less intense workouts when they don’t need the full energy boost of Endurance Fuel,” said Jeff Vierling, co-founder, Tailwind. “We are thrilled to introduce Active Hydration after two years of development and testing on the trails here in Durango, CO. The initial feedback from testers has been amazing, and we can’t wait to share it.”
Lightly sweetened with cane sugar with no aftertaste. Available in four flavors—Cherry Acai, Tangerine Grapefruit, Tropical Orange, and Strawberry Lemonade—Active Hydration comes in individual serving packets (12-pack box). One 9-gram packet has 35 calories when mixed with 12 ounces of water.
Active Hydration helps athletes hydrate faster than water alone and provides electrolytes after sweating. Like Tailwind’s Endurance Fuel, Active Hydration takes advantage of the body’s active transport mechanism to maximize the absorption of electrolytes and water. It also includes grass-fed bovine collagen peptides, with potential joint function improvement. Vitamin C is a co-factor in collagen synthesis and functions as an antioxidant.
Active Hydration is gluten-free, non-GMO, has no salty or diet sweetener aftertaste, and contains no artificial colors or dyes.
