From November 1 to 30, for each product ordered online, Näak donates $1 to the Pour3Points association. The funds raised will help young people from disadvantaged neighbourhoods to succeed in life, thanks to the values of sport.

At Näak, taking care of the planet is our biggest concern and is what this startup is centered around. We want to provide you with sustainable food products that have a positive impact on health, sports performance, and the environment. However, the world's population keeps increasing. In the next food production will have to be doubled to meet the growing demand for food and especially for animal proteins. However, can our planet meet these needs?

It’s no secret that protein is an important macronutrient for endurance athletes. However, you may be uncertain as to how much protein you need or if you should be supplementing your diet with more protein.

The word “superfood” may ring a bell since this term has become increasingly popularized in the media. But what is really a superfood, and are crickets part of it ?

Ultra marathons are one of the most mentally and physically challenging races out there. What’s more is that your race does not end at the finish line. How you recover from an ultra marathon or trail race can actually be more difficult and painful than the training, but there are many steps you can take to heal your body more effectively and efficiently.

Having the right nutrition is key to athletic performance. Athletes are constantly looking for products that will help them enhance performance, whether it’s to get stronger or faster. Unfortunately, it seems as though the food products on the market use hard-to-pronounce ingredients and artificial sweeteners while having stale taste. It’s almost impossible to find nutrition products that are actually healthy and contain natural ingredients. That’s why Näak created healthy, sustainable, and delicious energy bars that are based around one simple ingredient: crickets!

Nutrition plays a crucial role in the progression of athletic performance. But the perfect diet doesn’t exist! Everybody is different, so our needs vary depending on many factors: age, sex, metabolism, physical activity, weight, height, and so on. Therefore, it’s important to know what your body needs to stay strong and well-nourished.

It comes as no surprise that our planet is currently undergoing a social and ecological crisis that will continue to persist unless we make a change in our lifestyles, particularly in our diets. With the world’s population steadily increasing, experts predict that we will not be able to sustain the world’s current protein diet by the year 2050.
