Näak

Näak was born in Canada with a mission: to build the most effective and sustainable energy alternative for endurance sports. It’s all based on a radical idea. Long-lasting energy powered by high-quality, sustainable ingredients. Performance and sustainability. Or, as we call it, Ultra Energy™.


The co-founders of Näak, Minh and Will, are old friends who have trained together. From the World Triathlon Championships with Team Canada to ultra trail races, they understood that nutrition is key to performance. They started making their own energy bars with a big ambition: to make sports nutrition more sustainable. They called it Näak for Nutrition for adventurous athletes who run Kilometers.


Today, Näak makes energy products for professional ultramarathoners and first-time milers, vertical runners and 100-milers, outdoor enthusiasts and explorers, helping you go further and further. Thousands of professional and amateur athletes rely on Näak to explore new playgrounds and redefine what is physically possible. Näak is distributed in 300 stores in North America, Europe and Asia.


Gastrointestinal problems are the number one cause of DNF (Do Not Finish) in ultra trail races. When Minh and Will started competing in ultramarathons, they discovered that the old nutritional products were inadequate. Because they were too sweet and led to energy crashes and stomach problems. And because they were made with unhealthy ingredients that were bad for the environment. The ideal nutritional product did not exist. So they created Näak Ultra Energy™ science.


It was not just a passion for endurance sports that brought Minh and Will together. They were dedicated to developing a revolutionary idea. Concerned about their environmental impact, they decided to radically change their diet by using sustainable proteins to fuel their ultra distances. First, they created an Ultra Energy™ bar with cricket powder, one of the most sustainable protein sources available. This refined the idea of delivering maximum performance with the least possible environmental impact. Soon after, they developed plant-based Ultra Energy™ bars, waffles and drink mixes for ultra-distance athletes.


Näak’s products cover all the nutritional needs of ultra-distance athletes: energy, hydration and recovery. All Näak products are designed and tested in close collaboration with world-class professional athletes in the Näak Lab. Whether it’s the 4:1 carbohydrate:protein ratio for long-lasting energy, the electrolytes you need for hydration or BCAAs to reduce muscle fatigue, our Ultra Energy™ products have you covered.


Anyone can complete an ultra-distance run with the right nutrition. Näak is driven by helping people unlock their full potential while preserving their playground through sustainable sports nutrition.
