Complete & sustainable proteins

Ultra endurance efforts such as marathons, ultra trail or ironman triathlons have been shown to increase muscle fiber breakdown. It is therefore necessary to consume proteins, and particularly EAAs (essential amino acids) and BCAAs (branched chain amino acids) to build and maintain muscles during a long distance physical activity.

The need for protein and BCAA is higher for ultra-endurance athletes, ranging from 1.2 to 2.0 g/kg/day depending on the studies, compared to 0.8 g/kg/day for usual recommendations.

Näak Ultra Energy™ provides a mix of proteins (EAAs and BCAAs) during exercise, in combination with carbohydrates. We aim to provide 0.3g/kg of protein over a period of 3 to 5 hours during an endurance race to optimize muscle resistance.

Complete electrolyte profile

Näak Ultra Energy™ provides a complete electrolyte profile adapted to ultra endurance efforts:

• 400 - 600mg / hour of sodium- 100 - 200mg / hour of potassium- 50mg / hour of magnesium
• Electrolytes include all the minerals that play a role in the functioning of the human body. They are used by many metabolic pathways during endurance exercise but are also be lost in sweat. As a result, they have to be replaced to maintain proper general functioning of the human body during exercise.
• Sodium and potassium play a role in fluid balance in the human body and are involved in the transfer of nerve messages. Magnesium and calcium act as molecules of assistance for the manufacture of proteins, the transport of glucose to the brain or the metabolism of fat.
