What is Naak sports nutrition

Naked (Nutrition for Adventurous Athletes and Kickass endurance) is a sports nutrition brand that focuses on sustainable, performance-oriented nutrition. The brand is especially popular among trail runners, ultra runners and other endurance athletes because of its unique ingredients, such as cricket protein and vegetable proteins. This not only ensures sustainable production, but also provides long-lasting energy without the fluctuations you see with many other sports nutrition.

Naak and the UTMB: A Perfect Match
The Ultra Trail du Mont Blanc (UTMB) is one of the toughest and most prestigious trail races in the world. This extreme 171 km race with more than 10,000 meters of elevation gain requires not only physical and mental strength, but also the right nutrition strategy. Näak is a popular choice among UTMB runners because of its long-lasting energy supply and focus on digestible, sustainable ingredients. Näak’s ultra energy bars, gels and purees help athletes maintain their energy levels during the long and technical sections of the UTMB. In addition, Näak supports athletes who push the limits of endurance and caters to the nutritional needs of ultra runners worldwide. That’s why Naak is the official nutrition partner of UTMB.
