Energy Puree | Sweet Potatoes Butternut Squash

Different in a good way

This stuff is sort of savory and thick, not exactly what I was expecting but a nice change from the typical gels I use during races. They could be good late in a long run when the body is craving variety, and they have some substantial calories and nutrients in them.

Backed by Science

Näak Ultra Energy™ science was developed to meet the specific needs of ultra distance athletes. The idea is simple: the ingestion of a few macronutrients such as carbohydrates and electrolytes is not enough to fuel ultra distances. After a few hours of effort, you need a complete nutrition approach to go farther.

Commonly Asked Questions

How is the Näak Ultra Energy™ Puree sustainable ?

.Näak Purees are organic certified and contains upcycled ingredients. All the ingredients are fully traceable and locally-sourced.

How often should I use the Purees?

We recommend to eat 1 Puree every 45-60min of exercise. If you are racing an ultra, we recommend an energy intake of 300 to 350 Kcal per hour. You can reach those numbers by using one Puree in addition to other Näak Ultra Energy™ products.

What are BCAAs used for?

The branched chain amino acids (BCAAs) are Leucine, Isoleucine, and Valine. They are known to reduce muscle fatigue and optimize energy stores.

How well is the protein digested during exercise?

The proteins used in Näak Ultra Energy™ Purees are highly digestible and absorbed efficiently during exercise. We advice to train your guts at least 4 weeks before the race.

Why are electrolytes important?

Electrolytes are crucial to maintain fluid balance, muscle contraction and neural activity. When athletes sweat, they are losing electrolytes and it is important to replace them. Näak Ultra Energy™ Purees contain the four main electrolytes needed to perform at your best.

What type of sugars are used in the Näak Purees?

We use a blend of "simple sugars" such as maple syrup and "complex sugars" such as hydrolyzed oat flour. A perfect mix of natural carbohydrates to avoid sugar crashes and spikes, and ensure long lasting energy.
