“I love having UCAN bars after my workouts and long runs. I used to feel a crash a few hours afterwards and I don't get that anymore with UCAN.”
UCAN Australia: Sports Nutrition Powered by LIVSTEADY
Most sports fuel is sugar. It hits fast, fades fast, and asks for another dose before the hour is out. LIVSTEADY is a patented slow-release carbohydrate. It delivers energy steadily over time, and it’s formulated to be easy on the stomach. It’s why US Olympians fuel with it.
Energy at one rate
One carbohydrate, released over time. Not a hit followed by a dip.
Easy on the stomach
LIVSTEADY has a low osmotic load and needs very little water to digest.
Built for the long session
Up to 75 minutes per Edge gel. Up to 90 minutes per serve of Energy Powder.

“UCAN has been a game changer for my training. Steady energy, no stomach issues, and no crash afterwards.”
“Livsteady is like a slow-drip IV giving a constant, steady release of carbohydrates.”
“This more sustained fuel flow has many advantages such as promoting greater use of fat.”
“I mix it up and drink it right away even before I start stretching, to help speed recovery.”

AUSTRALIA'S #1 UCAN PRODUCT
The energy gel that changed endurance fuelling
UCAN Edge is powered by LIVSTEADY: 75 minutes of sustained energy per gel, no sugar, no spike, gentle on the stomach. Used by Olympic marathon runners and Ironman champions and the reason most Australian athletes discover UCAN in the first place.
I've used UCAN my entire marathon career. It delivers sustained energy without the sugar spike and sits well for long efforts and races. If you're serious about maximizing your training, this gel was made for you.

How do UCAN Edge gels differ from regular sugar gels?
UCAN Edge Energy Gels is built on LIVSTEADY, a slow-release carbohydrate, not on fast sugars. Each pouch gives you 19g of carbohydrate, 70 calories and 0g sugar, released over up to 75 minutes.

How do I time Edge during a race?
UCAN’s guide: one gel 15 to 30 minutes before you start, then one every 45 to 60 minutes as needed. One gel covers up to 75 minutes, so the next one goes in before the first runs out. Test the timing on a long session, not on race day. Full guide here

Can I use UCAN if I’m not an athlete?
UCAN works for anyone active. Whether you’re walking, doing gym sessions, or training for Ironman, steady energy keeps you performing better.
I’ve got a sensitive stomach. Will UCAN work for me?
Many athletes switch to Edge gels and Hydrate because they’re low in sugar and gentler on the gut than syrupy fuels. Start with a half-serve in training and build up; avoid trying anything new on race day.Hydration tips: Sugar-Free Fuelling Guide.
Do I need caffeine gels? When should I use them?
UCAN Edge + Caffeine can help with late-race focus or early starts. Typical use: 1 caffeine gel 15–30 min pre-gun, then 1 every 60–90 min depending on tolerance. Always test in training.Popular picks: Mocha Edge + Caffeine and Salted Caramel Edge + Caffeine.
