Replaces Electrolytes
A complete endurance drink mix for ultra-distance athletes, delivering 250 calories, 55g of carbohydrates, 8g of protein, and 650mg of electrolytes per serving. Watermelon is the lighter, more refreshing flavour in the range - useful when you want a clean, palatable taste across long efforts.
What it is
Näak Ultra Energy Drink Mix is a high-carb, electrolyte-loaded drink mix designed as a complete hourly fuelling solution for ultra-distance work. One 72g packet mixed with 500-750ml of water delivers 55g of natural carbohydrates, 8g of protein with BCAAs, and 650mg of electrolytes. The watermelon flavour is light and refreshing - a useful profile on hot days or when heavier sweet flavours start to wear thin.
When to use it
- Ultra-marathons and long trail events
- Endurance cycling and long training rides
- Hot-weather sessions where a lighter, more refreshing flavour goes down easier
- Any session over 2 hours where you want fuel, hydration, and electrolytes in one bottle
How to use it
Mix one 72g packet with 500-750ml of water and shake well. Drink one serving per hour during exercise. Use the lower water volume (500ml) when it's cool or you're sipping conservatively, and the upper end (750ml) when it's hot or you're sweating heavily. Start drinking from the beginning of your session rather than waiting until you feel low - consistent intake beats catch-up fuelling.
Key features
- 55g carbohydrates per serving: hits the upper end of standard endurance carb intake in a single hourly bottle.
- 650mg electrolytes: a substantial electrolyte dose, useful for heavy sweaters and hot conditions.
- 8g protein with BCAAs: protein and amino acids to help reduce muscle breakdown on long efforts.
- 250 calories per serving: a meaningful calorie contribution per hour from a single bottle.
- Light watermelon flavour: designed to stay drinkable across long durations without flavour fatigue.
- Liquid format: easier to digest than solid food during high-intensity work.
How this fits into your fueling plan
Most endurance athletes aim for 60–90g of carbs per hour, typically from 2–4 products. At 55g, this covers your hourly needs in one serving.
