Näak Boost Drink Mixes Discovery Pack is a practical trial pack for those who want to try Näak's carbohydrate-rich Boost Energy™ drink in two different flavor profiles. The pack contains a total of eight sachets – four with a neutral flavor and four with a light taste of salted cucumber.
Boost Drink Mix is designed for activities where you want to get a large portion of your energy intake through a drink. Each sachet provides 60 g of carbohydrates and is mixed with 500 ml of water. The high carbohydrate content makes the product particularly useful during intense training sessions, competitions and longer endurance activities.
The carbohydrate mixture consists of:
Palatinose™ – isomaltulose from sugar beets
Maltodextrin from tapioca
Näak specifies a 2:1 ratio between glucose and fructose . The blend combines simpler and more complex carbohydrates and is designed to provide both rapid and sustained energy.
The two varieties have different amounts of sodium:
Neutral: 250 mg sodium and a total of about 400 mg electrolytes
Salted Cucumber: 500 mg sodium
Neutral is suitable when you want a very discreet taste or combine the drink with other flavored energy products. Salted Cucumber provides a light, salty and less traditionally sweet taste profile and a higher amount of sodium.

Nutritional values and roundings may change between markets and production runs. The information on the current portion bag always applies.
Palatinose™ – isomaltulose, maltodextrin from tapioca, sea salt and acidity regulator: potassium citrate.
Isomaltulose is a source of glucose and fructose and is produced from sugar from sugar beets.
Isomaltulose, maltodextrin from tapioca, natural cucumber flavor, sea salt, citric acid and potassium citrate.
Isomaltulose is a source of glucose and fructose and is produced from sugar from sugar beets.
Recipes and labeling may be updated. Always check the ingredient and allergen information on each serving bag before consumption.
Neutral has a very subtle taste and contains 250 mg of sodium per serving. Näak also states about 400 mg of total electrolytes from sodium and potassium.
It is particularly suitable when you:
Want to avoid intense sweetness
Training or competing for several hours
Combines the drink with flavored gels or bars
Prefers a neutral base in the fluid bladder
Want to control the taste with other sports nutrition
Are sensitive to taste fatigue
Salted Cucumber has a light cucumber flavor with a more pronounced saltiness and contains 500 mg of sodium per serving.
It is particularly suitable when you:
Prefers salty to very sweet flavors
Want flavor variation over long runs
Exercising in hot weather
Have high sweat loss
Want to get more sodium through sports drinks
Starting to get tired of fruit and citrus flavors
Sodium needs vary between individuals. A larger amount is not automatically better and should be adjusted according to sweat loss, temperature, activity and other salt intake.
Fill a sports bottle with 500 ml of water.
Empty the entire sachet into the bottle.
Close the bottle tightly.
Shake until the powder has dissolved.
Drink small amounts regularly during the activity.
Näak recommends one serving mixed with 500 ml of water per hour and suggests consuming the drink gradually, for example by taking a smaller amount about every ten minutes. Adjust the amount according to your planned carbohydrate and fluid intake.
Each serving provides 60 g of carbohydrates:
½ bottle provides approximately 30 g of carbohydrates
1 bag provides 60 g of carbohydrates
2 bags provide 120 g of carbohydrates
The entire discovery package provides 480 g of carbohydrates
A bottle can therefore constitute a significant part of the energy intake during an hour of training. Also include carbohydrates from:
Energy gels
Energy chews
Energy waffles
Bars
Purees
Other sports drink
Regular food
Näak gives 60–90 g of carbohydrates per hour as a general guideline and mentions higher levels for well-trained competitive athletes. However, a high carbohydrate intake should be introduced gradually and adjusted according to individual tolerance.
Boost Drink Mix combines isomaltulose and maltodextrin and, according to Näak, has a 2:1 ratio between glucose and fructose .
Maltodextrin is a glucose-based carbohydrate. Isomaltulose consists of glucose and fructose and breaks down more slowly than many simpler sugars.
Näak describes the mixture as:
Two-thirds simple sugars
One third more complex carbohydrates
Adapted for fast and more prolonged energy supply
This is the manufacturer's formulation of the product's carbohydrate profile. Individual tolerance and experience may vary.
During activities that last several hours, very sweet or strongly flavored products can be difficult to continue consuming.
Boost Drink Mix therefore has a relatively light flavor profile:
Neutral lacks any obvious added flavor
Salted Cucumber gives a mild cucumber flavor with a salty
Both are less traditionally sweet than many fruit sports drinks
The flavors can be combined with other energy products
The Discovery Pack allows you to test both variants during training before choosing a larger package.
