Näak

Näak is out to build the most efficient and sustainable fuel for endurance sports. Founded by Canadian triathletes Minh and Will, Näak stands for 'Nutrition for Adventurous Athletes who run Kilometres' and delivers long-lasting energy courtesy of sustainble, high-quality ingredients. 

Näak believes that everyone can finish an ultra-distance event with the right nutrition, whether it's consumed as an energy puree, energy waffle, drink mix or – perhaps most excitingly – an energy bar or protein powder made with crickets. Yep, crickets. Don't knock it 'til you try it.

2. Are Näak's products suitable for different dietary preferences?

Näak has a wide range of products that are either vegan or free from dairy or gluten. Be sure to check individual product details and nutrition facts for the specific dietary information you may need.

 

3. Are there any Näak products with caffeine that I can eat for an extra boost?

There are a number of Näak energy bars that contain caffeine including the mocha and caramel macchiato flavours – these are clearly marked as caffeinated. Aid Station also stocks a wide range of caffeinated products, so take a look at our best-selling energy chews, energy gels and energy stroopwafels.

 

4. What products are best for athletes’ cramps?

Pickle juice has gained popularity for its potential to relieve muscle cramps due to its high sodium and electrolyte content. Some athletes believe that its quick ingestion can help alleviate cramps, possibly due to the sodium-triggering nerve receptors that influence muscle contractions.

 

5. When is the best time to consume Näak for optimal results?

Recommended consumption instructions will vary between Näak products. Consumption timing will depend on the product and your performance goals.

 
6. Can Näak be consumed during endurance activities like marathons or triathlons?

Sure can – Näak was founded by professional triathletes, after all. The purees, energy waffles and drink mixes are particularly good for activities like marathons or triathlons, while the energy bars are a great option for longer endurance activities.

 

7. What are Energy Chews? Do they come in different flavours?

Energy Chews are convenient bite-sized boosts of energy. They are made with a perfect blend of flavour and electrolytes and come in fruity variants. Näak, at this stage, doesn't make energy chews, but Aid Station stocks some great options from the world's best sports nutrition brands.

 

8. Does Näak really use cricket powder in its products? Why?

Yes! Näak has several products, including its Cricket Protein Ultra Energy Bar and Cricket Protein Ultra Recovery Powder, that make use of cricket protein. Näak explains that its cricket flour is a superfood high in complete protein with all essential amino acids, B12 vitamins, iron, calcium and potassium. It’s also one of the most eco-friendly protein sources currently available. Cricket powder, they say, is the complete protein of the future, so why not give it a go?
