A higher-calorie endurance gel with a salted maple flavour, designed for ultra-distance athletes who need more than just a quick carb hit. 200 calories per serving, with protein and a strong electrolyte dose.
What it is
Näak Ultra Energy Gel is a complete-nutrition gel built for long-duration efforts. Each gel delivers 200 calories, 27g of carbohydrates (a 3:1 glucose-fructose blend with a 1:1 mix of short and complex carbs), 2g of protein with 235mg of BCAAs, and 365mg of electrolytes. The salted maple flavour is a savoury-sweet profile that holds up better than pure sweet flavours across long efforts. Made with 37% upcycled ingredients.
When to use it
- Ultra-distance running, cycling, and trail events
- Long training sessions where you want more complete nutrition than a standard gel
- Mid-to-late race fuelling when palate fatigue from sweet gels sets in
- High-intensity efforts within longer events where you need a meaningful calorie hit
How to use it
Take one gel every 45-60 minutes during long training sessions or races. At 27g of carbs per gel, this gel is built to be 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. Always take with water to support absorption.
Key features
- 200 calories per gel: a meaningful calorie hit, designed as a substantial fuelling block rather than a quick top-up.
- 27g carbohydrates: a 3:1 glucose-fructose blend with a mix of short and complex carbs for both quick and sustained energy.
- 365mg electrolytes: a substantial dose to support sodium and electrolyte replacement on long efforts.
- 2g protein with 235mg BCAAs: a small protein and amino acid contribution to help reduce muscle breakdown over ultra-distances.
- Salted maple flavour: a savoury-sweet profile that helps cut through sugar fatigue on long efforts.
- Semi-liquid texture: easier to absorb than thicker gels, designed for stable energy without GI distress.
- 37% upcycled ingredients: part of Näak's sustainable sourcing approach.
How this fits into your fueling plan
~2 servings per hour to hit target
