With UCAN Edge, I’ve felt so much better throughout the runs compared to taking other gels, where I would feel this burst of energy, but then it would be so short-lived.

“UCAN has made a huge difference in how good I feel during my runs. I don’t get the crash, I don’t feel the roller coaster of emotions, and it really sustains my energy throughout training and races without upsetting my stomach.”

Zero-sugar gels:
the smart fuel for endurance

Traditional sugar-laden gels often cause energy spikes, crashes and digestive issues. Here's how our patented zero-sugar gels solve these issues and keep you performing at your peak from start to finish.

1. The blood sugar rollercoaster: how sugar-based gels let you down.

Standard energy gels rely on sugar or fast carbs, leading to quick spikes and inevitable crashes in blood sugar, causing inconsistent energy and frequent refueling. UCAN's patented carbohydrate, LIVSTEADY, releases energy gradually, supporting sustained performance without the ups and downs of sugar spikes.

2. Less sugar, less stomach trouble.

With sugar-based gels, athletes are instructed to consume a large amount of sugar during a workout or race, which can cause stomach issues. UCAN's zero-sugar formula is gentler on digestion, reducing the risk of Gl discomfort, which is especially crucial during long runs.

3. Fewer gels needed = more comfort and less hassle

Each UCAN gel provides up to 75 minutes of steady, crash-free fuel. UCAN's efficient formula means athletes can use fewer gels over the course of a race or training session, providing a simpler, more effective fueling strategy.
