Näak Ultra Energy Salted Drink Mix

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

The Salted Soup

This recipe is a special blend of their Drink Mix and –quite honestly– unlike anything we’ve seen. It’s made with salty vegetable broth flavor and upcycled ingredients and can be used either hot or cold.

How to Use It:

Add a packet to 500ml of water (warm or cold) and shake well. If warm, be careful about the pressure build-up. Drink 1 serving for each hour of exercise or mix it into your plan along the way, specifically for your bigger training days on the bike or on the trails.
