Run Farther. Recover Faster. Break Records with Pique.

Every runner knowsβthe hardest part isnβt just lacing up, itβs finding the fuel that carries you from start to finish. Coffee fades. Pre-workouts crash. Energy drinks spike and burn out. But what if your energy didnβt just last through the runβwhat if it powered you through your entire day?
Thatβs where Pique comes in. Pique is a luxury wellness brand powered by rare plants and cutting-edge ingredients, offering the perfect remedy for the seasonβs hustle and bustle. Their science-backed botanicals, minerals, and supplements support metabolic function, immune health, sustained energy, and radiant skin.
Nandaka is Piqueβs answer to the runnerβs greatest challenge: energy that doesnβt quit. Designed to fuel endurance, sharpen focus, and sustain recovery, itβs built for athletes who refuse to settle.
The Marathon Handbook team put Nandaka to the testβand we felt the difference from day one. Instead of the spike-and-crash of coffee or pre-workouts, the energy was steady and reliable. Long runs felt smoother, recovery felt faster, and that βafternoon wallβ simply disappeared. Itβs the kind of fuel that helps you train harder, stay consistent, and finally push past those stubborn PRs.
Steady, Long-Lasting Energy β Slow-release caffeine from probiotic teas delivers smooth endurance without jitters or mid-run crashes. β
Peak Performance & Recovery β Ceremonial-grade cacao, prebiotic fiber, and fruiting body mushrooms sharpen focus, improve digestion, and strengthen stress resilience. β
Unmatched Purity β The Cleanest high quality ingredients you can get, most effective fuel to help you beat your PRs. β
With Nandaka, you donβt just trainβyou transform. From the first sip, youβll feel clarity, stamina, and strength that stays with you long after your cooldown.
