UCAN
If you’re looking for a better energy gel that contains no sugar and instead uses a revolutionary slow burning carbohydrate called LIVESTEADY, then you should check out UCAN.
Independent, peer-reviewed studies have shown LIVESTEADY is absorbed quickly through the stomach to reduce GI distress, yet is released into the blood stream slowly to provide sustained fueling without the spikes and crashes typically associated with traditional gels.
By avoiding the sugar spikes, UCAN can help be less reliant on frequent feedings of sugar-based fuels during the run.
All this data means using UCAN can help you avoid hitting the dreaded wall during the half, full and ultra marathon distance.
