3 REASONS WHY RUNNERS RELY ON UCAN FOR ENERGY AND TRANSFORMATION
Running is amazing. It attracts people from all walks of life for its many benefits such as maintaining healthy weight and improving heart health. For a lot of running enthusiasts, it is also a great mode for freedom, access to feeling good, practice of competitiveness, and being part of a vibrant community.
ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT THINGS FOR RUNNERS IS TO STAY PUMPED UP.
With endless options in the market, it cannot be denied that there are a lot of sugary energy drinks and other products out there. According to studies, the Australians drink five gallons of sugary sports beverages per capita per year. Most people who run while relying on such drinks complain about energy crash, dehydration, and poor gut health.
For runners who have been drinking UCAN, the experience has been a total gamechanger. Let us find out the 3 reasons why they love and trust UCAN, and how it has transformed their running journey:

“UCAN is a product I’ve really believed in for many years and one I’ve used to fuel for all my fastest marathons. I love that it provides a slow-burning carbohydrate but is also really easy to digest, which makes it really unique. I try to minimize sugar in my diet because it is so inflammatory, so I love that UCAN can provide carbohydrate fuel without spiking insulin. As a human biology major and someone always looking to optimize my nutrition for performance, I really appreciate at a cellular level how this product works.”

UCAN FAVORITE
UCAN FUELS YOU WITH ENERGY THAT SUSTAINS
LIVSTEADY™ is the energy source that powers UCAN. It is a very complex carbohydrate that breaks down at a consistent and steady rate over time. You can imagine it like a time-released source of energy.
Unlike most sports supplements and other related products, LIVSTEADY™ is not made of simple sugars or maltodextrin. It does not give you a spike and crash effect which often leads to a rollercoaster of energy. For sugary sports nutrition, one moment you are on a roll and on a sugar high, but the following moments make you feel as if you have hit the wall. You are provided with temporary energy for about 30-45 minutes, so you need to refuel or continue sipping away.
UCAN, on the other hand is well-loved by runners for it provides energy for several hours after consumption. Several research including one from 2019 showed that even after three hours of running, energy is still being fueled in the body.
This consistent energy from UCAN through Superstarch has been a life force for runners who have seek solutions for their hydration needs in line with healthy blood sugar levels. This positive impact of UCAN roots from its back story of improving a life of a child with a rare metabolic disorder.
UCAN REDUCES YOUR CHANCES OF GI DISTRESS
Runners enjoy how gut friendly UCAN is. The complexity of LIVSTEADY™ molecule allows it to have an extraordinarily low osmolality. Osmolality is a measure of the number of dissolved particles in a fluid. This means that UCAN LIVSTEADY™ makes it so easy on the stomach. You do not have to worry about the adverse effects of staying energized.
Fluids that have high maltodextrin and simple sugar content have high osmolality. Runners who take them complain about GI issues such as cramps, aches, bloating, sloshing and sudden porta-potty stops. Moreover, the pleasure of running is affected due to nausea or dizziness connected to these GI distress.
For runners who have been drinking UCAN, the experience has been a total gamechanger. Let us find out the 3 reasons why they love and trust UCAN, and how it has transformed their running journey:
““HIGH OSMOLALITY MEANS THAT THERE ARE LOTS AND LOTS OF SMALL MOLECULES IN A GIVEN SPACE, AND EACH ONE OF THEM NEEDS TO BE TRANSPORTED (BY WATER MOLECULES) THROUGH THE STOMACH BARRIER AND INTO THE GUT,” “SINCE THIS PROCESS TAKES TIME AND REQUIRES LOTS OF WATER, IT MEANS FLUIDS CAN SLOSH AROUND IN THE STOMACH FOR A WHILE, POTENTIALLY CAUSING PROBLEMS.””
BOB SEEBOHAR, FORMER OLYMPIC DIETITIAN.
LIVSTEADY™ SuperFans take pride in their optimum gut health while enjoying running. Athletes like Ironman Champion Matt Bach found it amazing how his GI distress disappeared after switching to UCAN.
LIVSTEADY™ IS A HEALTHY WAY TO ENERGIZE WITH LITTLE TO NO SUGAR
Whether you are runner who has no stomach issues or a runner who has sensitive gut, UCAN is your best source of energy. Its amazing component LIVSTEADY™ has no sugar in it, so it has no harsh health impacts related to high levels of sugar in your blood.
For runners of various levels of experience and needs, pumping up with sugary sports nutrition has long-term negative impacts. Unfortunately, it is like defeating the purpose of being passionate in running at the first place.
With UCAN, your blood sugar is stabilised.
Studies show that fueling the body with UCAN helps stabilize your blood sugar. It translates to regulated cravings and preservation of your body’s ability to metabolize. This makes you enjoy optimum health through your favorite sport and good over-all gut health which is recently also connected to good mental health.
Through UCAN, runners like you surely CAN! As you set goals for better health by dedicating time and energy to running, LIVSTEADY™ supercharges every experience with these three benefits and even more.
