Used by ultra distance athletes
All Naak's products are developed hand in hand with elite athletes through the Näak Lab. Their mission is to build the most efficient and sustainable fuel for ultra distance sports. Today, thousands of professional and amateur athletes around the world depend on Näak to explore new playgrounds and redefine what is physically possible.
Backed by Science: Näak Ultra Energy™ science was developed to meet the specific needs of ultra distance athletes. The idea is simple: the ingestion of a few macronutrients such as carbohydrates and electrolytes is not enough to fuel ultra distances. After a few hours of effort, you need a complete nutrition approach to go farther.
Commonly Asked Questions:
Why is the Näak Ultra Energy™ Gel sustainable? Näak Gels contains 37% of upcycled maple syrup. All the ingredients are fully traceable and locally sourced.
How often should I use the gels? We recommend to eat 1 Gel every 45-60min of exercise. If you are racing an ultra, we recommend an energy intake of 300 to 350 Kcal per hour. You can reach those numbers by using one Gel in addition to other Näak Ultra Energy™ products.
What are BCAAs used for? The branched chain amino acids (BCAAs) are Leucine, Isoleucine, and Valine. They are known to reduce muscle fatigue and optimize energy stores.
Why are electrolytes important? Electrolytes are crucial to maintain fluid balance, muscle contraction and neural activity. When athletes sweat, they are losing electrolytes and it is important to replace them. Näak Ultra Energy™ Gels contain the four main electrolytes needed to perform at your best.
What type of sugars are used in the Gels? In a ratio 3:1 glucose:fructose, the gels contain a blend of "simple sugars" such as maple syrup and "complex sugars" such as maltodextrin. A perfect mix of natural carbohydrates to avoid sugar crashes and spikes, and ensure long-lasting energy.
