Näak, founded by two trail runners, Minh and Will, produces sustainable sports nutrition products for endurance athletes. Frustrated by existing products' shortcomings (high sugar content, unhealthy ingredients, environmental impact), they created Näak Ultra Energy™, focusing on three pillars: a balanced mix of carbohydrates for sustained energy, complete sustainable proteins to reduce fatigue, and electrolytes to prevent cramping. Their product line includes energy bars (6 flavors), energy purees (2 flavors), and drink mixes (3 flavors), all designed to provide long-lasting energy and optimize athletic performance while minimizing environmental impact. Näak products are now sold in over 300 stores across North America, Europe, and Asia.

Since 2016, Näak has now made its name in the top sports nutrition products. It is distributed in more than 300 stores throughout North America, Europe and Asia. They called it Näak for Nutrition for Adventurous Athletes who run Kilometers.
The Brand Story and Philosophy
The brand is co-founded and produced by 2 Trail Runners, Minh and Will with the philosophy that nutrition is a key factor for performance. They believe that anyone can complete an ultra-long distance with the right nutrition.
Näak helps athletes reach their full potential while preserving their playground, through the most effective nutrition that is good for both the athlete and the environment. Unlimited passion for sports led two people to create energy bars with great ambition: making sports nutrition more sustainable.
Therefore, the world’s first nutritional line using sustainable energy was born – ULTRA ENERGY for all endurance sports.
ULTRA ENERGY – Näak Exclusive
Gastrointestinal issues are the first cause of DNF (Do Not Finish) in ultra trail races.
When Minh and Will started to race ultra marathons, they discovered the old nutrition products were inadequate. Because they were too sweet and led to energy crashes and guts problems. And because they were made with unhealthy ingredients that are bad for the environment. The ideal nutrition product didn’t exist.
So they created the Näak Ultra Energy™ science. It provides complete nutrition that helps longer and farther race.
The technology we developed is based on 3 pillars:
- A mix of simple and complex natural carbohydrates to avoid sugar crashes and ensure long-lasting energy
- Complete & sustainable proteins with natural BCAAs to reduce muscle fatigue and optimize your glycogen store
- A blend of electrolytes to replenish minerals lost in sweat and prevent cramping
