Used by Ultra-Long 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-long distance sports. Today, thousands of professional and amateur athletes around the world rely on Näak to take on new challenges and redefine what is physically possible.
Scientifically Supported
The science behind Näak Ultra Energy™ is designed to meet the specific needs of ultra-long distance athletes. The idea is simple: the intake of some macronutrients such as carbohydrates and electrolytes is not enough to fuel ultra-long distances. After a few hours of effort, you need a complete Nutritionapproach to keep going.
How Should You Use Näak Ultra Energy™ Drink Mix?
It is recommended to consume one serving (72g) of Näak Ultra Energy™ Drink Mix in 500-750 ml of water per hour, depending on the intensity of the effort and the weather conditions (heat and humidity).
What Are BCAAs?
Proteins and especially BCAAs enhance 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, thereby limiting muscle breakdown, cramps, or injuries.
How Well is the Protein Digested During Exercise?
Protein, if provided in controlled amounts and in an optimized form, does not cause digestive problems during exercise.At Näak, we use plant-based protein isolates that are concentrated to facilitate their absorption.
Why Are Electrolytes Important?
Electrolytes are essential for your body to function optimally during exertion. They regulate fluid balance, muscle contractions, and blood pressure. Näak products are rich in potassium, sodium, magnesium, and calcium, which are electrolytes that are lost when sweating.
What Types of Sugars Are Used in Näak Drink Mix?
A mix of dextrose, a simple sugar that is quickly absorbed and converted into energy, and maltodextrin, which allows a slightly slower diffusion over time. The Palatinose™ (isomaltulose) provides a more complex sugar that is digested slower and allows for a long-lasting energy supply.
Can You Use Näak Drink Mix as the Only Fuel?
Näak Ultra Energy™ Drink Mix is designed to provide you with all the Nutritionsubstances 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.
