UCAN Edge Represents A Quantum Leap in Sports Nutrition
UCAN Edge is the first and only portable SuperStarch-based energy product. UCAN Edge provides peak athletic performance without jeopardizing your health or metabolic fitness, all in an easy-to-use format.
“I’ve used Edge between my warmup and starting my workout, and it has been a great, portable way to quickly get some slow-burning carbohydrate fuel in during training”, says Sara Hall, the 2nd fastest U.S. women’s marathoner in history. “Edge sits really well in my stomach. I don’t even notice it’s there besides the extra energy.
Since the company’s inception, SuperStarch, the unique underlying ingredient in UCAN’s products, has been available in Energy Powder format as well as several other formats such as Energy Bars, but it has never been sold in a pre-mixed, ready-to-consume pouch. SuperStarch provides long-lasting energy without spikes in blood sugar levels and digests easily without causing GI distress, which many athletes experience when using sugar-based fuels.
UCAN Edge was created in response to a request from coaches, trainers, and sports dietitians in the field for a portable, convenient format to more easily deliver consistent energy to their athletes in a variety of 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 making UCAN more available to anyone working out, participating in endurance activities and just looking to carry UCAN with them wherever they need great, steady energy,”
says Peter Kaufman, co-founder and VP of Innovation for The UCAN Company.
UCAN has helped elite and recreational athletes alike, including Hall, Olympic triathlete Katie Zaferes, CrossFit star Scott Panchik, 4x Olympian Meb Keflezighi, top American pro triathlete Tim O’Donnell, Olympic water polo player Maggie Steffens, and hundreds of pro and college teams, take their performances to the next level.
Customer feedback was sought in multiple rounds of taste and use testing, and UCAN was fortunate to have so many passionate fans to test and provide input into the development of the ideal formula, including pro athletes like Katie Zaferes, who pressure-tested Edge while training for the 2021 Olympic Games.
“I’ve been really enjoying fueling with UCAN Edge,” 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.”
says Zaferes, 2016 Olympian and medal favorite for 2021 in triathlon.
