Founded in Canada in 2016 by Minh-Anh Pham and William Walcker — two athlete friends from the World Triathlon Championships — Näak was born from a simple observation: existing sports nutrition products caused too many digestive issues and too much environmental damage. Their answer: bars, waffles, gels and drink mixes formulated with cricket and plant-based proteins, among the most sustainable sources available. B Corp certified since 2021 and official partner of the UTMB World Series, Näak stands for one clear vision: maximum performance, minimum footprint.
