Näak

At Näak, sustainability is at the core of our mission. For the past eight years, cricket protein has been a key ingredient in the Canadian market, and now we are excited to bring this sustainable and nutritious option to Europe. 🇪🇺 We're pioneers in cricket protein, and we believe it's the future of high-performance fuel. Cricket protein is considered a superfood with many benefits for athletes and the planet. Näak works with crickets bred specifically for human consumption under strict food safety conditions. Compared to traditional protein sources, cricket farming requires fewer resources: 200x less water, 100x less greenhouse gases, 12x less feed, and 10x less land.

This weekend, our Näak athletes shined at the Lavaredo Ultra Trail in Cortina D'Ampezzo! 🇮🇹 Here's a recap of the incredible results in the Lavaredo 120k. Hannes Namberger battled with Tom Evans right up to the last downhill and came out on top, winning the race for the third time! What a legend! 🥇 Rosanna Buchauer led from the start, widening the gap and demonstrating inspiring endurance and strength! 🥇 Andreas Reiterer took 6th place. He raced to win, took the lead from the start, and despite struggling at the end, he fought hard to keep his place until the finish line. 💪 Arthur Joyeux Bouillon finished 9th. The race was tough on his muscles, particularly downhill, but his performance was strong, setting him up well for the UTMB. His mental strength was remarkable. 🧠 We had a great time throughout the week at Lavaredo — activations at the Näak booth, sharing time with our athletes and the Näak team, and cheering on our athletes all night on the trails. Thank you to the entire team for making this event memorable! Next up: Val d'Aran. Let's keep the momentum going! 💥 📸: @janlenfert #naak #fuelyourultra #preserveyourplayground #lavaredoultratrail #utmbworldseries #utmb #trailrunning #ultratrail
