The Innovation of LIVSTEADY
LIVSTEADY, the unique ingredient in UCAN’s products, has been available in Energy Powder and Energy Bars, but never in a pre-mixed, ready-to-consume pouch. LIVSTEADY delivers long-lasting energy without spiking blood sugar levels and digests easily, avoiding the GI distress often caused by sugar-based fuels.
The idea for UCAN Edge emerged from feedback by coaches, trainers, and sports dietitians, who needed a portable, convenient format to deliver steady energy to athletes in various settings. “Our company’s obsession with using only the highest quality ingredients made formulation challenging, but we are proud and excited to finally bring this groundbreaking innovation to the active world,” says Peter Kaufman, co-founder and VP of Innovation for The UCAN Company.
Development and Testing
Customer feedback was sought in multiple rounds of taste and use testing. UCAN was fortunate to have passionate fans, including pro athletes like Katie Zaferes, test and provide input into the development of the ideal formula.
“I’ve been really enjoying fueling with UCAN Edge,” says Zaferes, 2016 Olympian and medal favorite for 2021 in triathlon. “I love how easy it is to transport and take in when I am on the go — which is nearly always. It gives me sustained energy in every discipline, which makes it the perfect fueling tool for me.”
Expert Endorsement
World-renowned run coach Greg McMillan also participated in the UCAN Edge trial. “For years, I’ve encouraged athletes to carry their own fuel during training and racing so they have full control of what they need and when they need it. With UCAN Edge, it’s now even easier for athletes to carry my preferred fuel – UCAN LIVSTEADY. This is a game-changer for fueling, and I can’t wait for all my athletes to finally feel what proper fueling is.”
