Edge energy gels — fuel without the crash

Powered by LIVSTEADY™ — the slow-release carbohydrate trusted by Olympic athletes.
No sugar spike. No crash. Just 75+ minutes of steady energy when it counts

UCAN Edge are sugar free energy gels designed for runners, triathletes, and endurance athletes who want long-lasting fuel without the crash that sugar-based gels can cause.

Powered by LIVSTEADY™, our slow-release carbohydrate, these gels provide steady energy that helps you train and race stronger, for longer. Whether you’re preparing for a marathon, half marathon, or triathlon, UCAN Edge gives you reliable fuel when you need it most.

Easy Run

If your runs are less than an hour long, you still want to fuel before but don’t have to worry about bringing anything with you on the run.

Tempo runs are often characterized by a warmup and cooldown sandwiching faster miles in the middle. Having Edge Energy Gels to take with you to consume before your harder miles will be key.

Long runs are all about the miles and time on your feet. You’ll want to fuel consistently in order to feel strong and steady the whole time.

While the majority of your long runs may be at an easy pace, sometimes a training program will call for a faster finish to your long run. You’ll want to make sure you fuel properly in the first few miles to set up a fast finish.

How to use UCAN energy gels? 

Blend

Knead the pouch for 5 seconds before opening to mix the gel evenly.

Prep

Take one gel 30 minutes before your session starts. LIVSTEADY's slow-release profile means it takes a short window to kick in — and that steady energy then carries you through the entire effort.

Refuel

Take a second gel at the 60–75 minute mark on long efforts to keep your energy steady — without the dip that often follows sugar-based top-ups. For sessions over 90 minutes, pair with UCAN Hydrate electrolytes to keep sodium and potassium topped up

says Zaferes, 2016 Olympian and medal favorite for 2021 in triathlon.

UCAN Energy Gels

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.

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.

FAQ — UCAN Energy Gels

Take your first UCAN Energy Gel 30 minutes before the start. Because LIVSTEADY™ releases energy slowly, it needs time to activate — unlike sugar gels you’d take right before a sprint. For a marathon, take a second gel at the 60–75 minute mark and a third around 2 hours if needed. Most runners find 2–3 gels covers a full marathon.

For a standard marathon (42km), plan for 2–3 UCAN Energy Gels — one 30 minutes before the start, one around 60–75 minutes in, and an optional third around the 2-hour mark. Each gel provides 75+ minutes of steady energy, so the timing spaces out naturally.

The Salted Caramel and Mocha gels contain 75mg of caffeine per gel — roughly equivalent to a strong espresso. Caffeine gels are popular for race day or early morning training when you want an extra mental edge. Non-caffeine gels are better for afternoon sessions or athletes sensitive to caffeine. If you’re new to UCAN, start with a non-caffeine flavour to test your response to LIVSTEADY™ first.

Yes — completely sugar-free. UCAN Energy Gels are powered by LIVSTEADY™, a slow-releasing carbohydrate derived from non-GMO corn. There is no added sugar, no maltodextrin, and no fructose — just clean, sustained energy without the spike and crash of traditional gels.

Yes — take your gel with 200–300ml of water. Because LIVSTEADY™ is a complex carbohydrate rather than a simple sugar, adequate hydration helps it absorb efficiently. Pair it with UCAN Hydrate electrolyte drink for a complete race-day fuelling system.

Most energy gels use simple sugars — maltodextrin, glucose, fructose — that spike your blood sugar quickly then drop it, causing the familiar mid-race crash. UCAN Energy Gels use LIVSTEADY™, a patented slow-digesting carbohydrate that releases energy gradually over 75+ minutes. Because LIVSTEADY doesn’t rely on simple sugars, you avoid the energy spike and subsequent crash that follows most gel products. Steady input, steady output.

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.
