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.

Two flavors with different uses

Boost Drink Mix 60 Neutral

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

Boost Drink Mix 60 Salted Cucumber

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.

Recommended use

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.

Carbohydrates during exercise

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.

Carbohydrates in a 2:1 ratio

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.

Light taste for long activities

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.

The package is therefore suitable when you:

Want to control caffeine intake separately

Are sensitive to caffeine

Working out late in the day

Want to use the same drink for several hours

Planning a caffeine gel later in the race

Already getting caffeine from coffee or other products

Storage

Store the sachets in a dry and cool place, protected from direct sunlight and high temperatures.

Use the entire sachet after opening. The powder may absorb moisture and start to clump if an opened sachet is stored.

Pre-mixed sports drink should ideally be consumed the same day. If mixed in advance, keep refrigerated.

Important to consider

Each serving contains 60 g of carbohydrates.

Include the drink in your total energy intake.

Neutral and Salted Cucumber contain different amounts of sodium.

Adjust fluid intake according to temperature and sweat loss.

A high carbohydrate intake should be introduced gradually.

Try both flavors during training before competition.
