A higher-calorie endurance gel with a chocolate and hint-of-coffee flavour, designed for ultra-distance athletes who need a meaningful calorie hit with a small caffeine lift. 200 calories and 35mg of caffeine per serving.
What it is
Näak Ultra Energy Gel is a complete-nutrition gel built for long-duration efforts. The Chocolate variant delivers 200 calories, 27g of carbohydrates (a mix of short and complex carbs), 2g of protein with BCAAs, 460mg of electrolytes, and 35mg of caffeine per gel. The chocolate flavour with a hint of coffee is a useful change-up from sweet fruit profiles on long efforts. Made with 37% upcycled ingredients including maple syrup.
When to use it
- Ultra-distance running, cycling, and trail events
- Mid-race when you need both a calorie hit and a mild caffeine lift
- Late in long efforts when palate fatigue from sweet flavours sets in
- High-intensity sections within longer events where focus and energy both matter
How to use it
Take one gel every 45-60 minutes during long training sessions or races. At 27g of carbs per gel, this is a substantial fuelling block rather than a top-up - pair with a drink mix or extra gels if you're targeting 60-90g of carbs per hour. The 35mg caffeine dose is light, so this is well-suited to taking multiple times across a long effort without stacking too much stimulant load. Take with water to support absorption.
Key features
- 200 calories per gel: a meaningful calorie hit, designed as a substantial fuelling block.
- 27g carbohydrates: blend of short and complex carbs for both quick and sustained energy.
- 460mg electrolytes: a strong electrolyte dose - useful for heavy sweaters and hot conditions.
- 35mg caffeine: a light caffeine dose - enough for a mild lift without overdoing stimulant load across multiple gels.
- 2g protein with BCAAs: small protein and amino acid contribution to help reduce muscle breakdown over ultra-distances.
- Chocolate with hint of coffee: a comforting, less-sweet flavour that holds up well on long efforts.
- 37% upcycled ingredients: part of Näak's sustainable sourcing approach.
How this fits into your fueling plan
