Used by Ultra Distance Athletes
All our products are developed in collaboration with elite athletes through the Näak Lab. Our mission is to create the most efficient and sustainable fuel for ultra-distance sports. Today, thousands of professional and amateur athletes worldwide rely on Näak to take on new challenges and redefine what is physically possible.
Scientifically Substantiated
The science behind Näak Ultra Energy™ was developed to meet the specific needs of ultra-distance athletes. The idea is simple: ingesting single macronutrients like carbohydrates and electrolytes isn't enough to fuel ultra-distance runs. After a few hours of exertion, you'll need a complete Nutritionapproach needed to move forward.
How to Use Näak Ultra Energy™ Drink Mix?
It is recommended to consume one serving (72g) of Näak Ultra Energy™ Drink Mix in 500-750ml of water per hour, depending on the intensity of exercise and weather conditions (heat and humidity).
What Are BCAAs?
Proteins and especially BCAAs increase the body's ability to use fat as an energy source.Consuming BCAAs allows you to use them directly as fuel, instead of drawing energy from your muscle mass, thus limiting muscle breakdown, cramps or injuries.
How Well Is Protein Digested During Exercise?
Protein, when delivered in controlled amounts and in an optimized form, doesn't cause digestive problems during exercise. At Näak, we use concentrated plant-based protein isolates to facilitate their absorption.
Why Are Electrolytes Important?
Electrolytes are essential for optimal body function during exercise. They regulate fluid balance, muscle contractions, and blood pressure. Näak products are rich in potassium, sodium, magnesium, and calcium, which are electrolytes lost through sweating.
What Types of Sugars Are Used in Naak Drink Mix?
A blend of dextrose, a simple sugar that is quickly absorbed and converted into energy, and maltodextrin, which allows for slightly slower diffusion over time. Palatinose™ (isomaltulose) provides a more complex sugar that is digested more slowly and provides sustained energy.
Can You Use Naked Drink Mix Only as Fuel?
Näak Ultra Energy™ Drink Mix is designed to give you all the NutritionTo provide the nutrients you need during an ultra, especially when solid products are no longer available. You can take it alone or combine it with other Näak products.
