Product Description
Näak was born in Canada with one mission: build the most efficient and sustainable fuel for endurance sports.
The problem they set out to solve
“Gastrointestinal issues are the first/main cause of DNF (Did Not Finish) in ultra trail races.” When the founders of Näak started to race ultra marathons, they discovered that many nutrition products were inadequate. The ideal nutrition product didn't exist, in their opinion. So they created the Näak Ultra Energy™ science to solve their problem.
The technology they developed is based on three pillars:
- A mix of both simple and complex natural carbohydrates – no sugar crash and long-lasting energy
- Complete and sustainable proteins with natural BCAAs – reduce muscle fatigue and optimize your glycogen stores
- A blend of real electrolytes – replenish minerals lost in sweat and prevent cramping
Ultra Energy Puree
Experience the Ultra Energy™ system from Näak in a unique semi-liquid format. Savory, comforting, and packed with long-lasting energy, it’s like an adult athlete’s baby food.
The Ultra Energy™ Puree is specifically calibrated for ultra-endurance activities. Easier on your gut than an energy gel, much more complete as a fuel source, and more digestible than an energy bar. The Puree has a lovely taste and the “baby food” texture will keep your stomach happy during your training and races while providing something different.

Näak Ultra Energy Purees FAQ's
Everything you need to know about Näak Ultra Energy Purees.
They're a semi-liquid, savory real food fuel designed specifically for ultra-endurance efforts — think long trail runs, big cycling days, and any event where you're going to be out there long enough that sweet gels start tasting like sugar syrup by hour three. Each pouch delivers 200 calories, 26 grams of carbs, 5 grams of protein with natural BCAAs, and 325mg of electrolytes — all from organic and upcycled whole food ingredients. Näak built these to solve the GI problems that end so many long races early.
The format, the ingredients, and the calorie density are all different. A standard gel delivers fast carbs and not much else. Näak Purees combine simple and complex carbohydrates — so you get an immediate energy response without the spike-and-crash cycle — plus protein to reduce muscle fatigue and slow down glycogen depletion, and real electrolytes from whole food sources. The texture is thicker, the flavor is savory, and the nutrition profile is closer to real food than anything in a traditional gel.
Athletes going long. The Purees are specifically calibrated for ultra-endurance — events and training days where you're moving for multiple hours and your gut tolerance and flavor fatigue start to matter as much as raw calorie intake. If you're a trail runner, ultra cyclist, or doing an Ironman, this is the format that keeps your stomach happy and your energy steady when gels start to feel like too much. For efforts under 60 to 90 minutes, a standard gel is more practical.
Glycemic index measures how quickly carbohydrates raise your blood sugar. High glycemic foods spike energy fast and drop it just as fast. The mix of simple and complex carbs in Näak Purees — organic apples and maple syrup alongside hydrolyzed oat flour and pea protein — produces a steadier energy curve. You get an initial hit of fast fuel, followed by a longer burn from the slower carbs and protein. That's what keeps you moving in hour four without the crash that derails athletes who rely on high-sugar gels alone.
One pouch per hour as a standalone fuel source, or combined with other products as needed on higher-intensity efforts where you want faster-absorbing carbs on top. The thicker texture means you'll want to chase it with some water — don't take it dry at race pace. They pair well with a hydration drink to cover your fluid and sodium needs alongside the broader nutrition the Puree provides.
