The electrolytes in UCAN Hydrate have made it easy and tasty for me to replace not only salts but other essential electrolytes lost while running.

Why runners choose a mocha energy gel
A lift where races are decided
Caffeine lowers how hard the effort feels. Taken from halfway, 45 mg lands in the stretch where most runners start to slow.
Fuel and caffeine in one pouch
LIVSTEADY™ releases carbohydrate gradually across 75+ minutes, so the caffeine works on top of steady fuel instead of replacing it.
Easy to take on the move
Thin texture and 0g sugar. No water needed to get it down, which helps between aid stations.
Caffeine planner
How many Mocha pouches fit your race?
Pick your weight, your event and your breakfast coffee. The planner works to a common guide of 3 mg of caffeine per kg of body weight across the race, and times the pouches from halfway.
Body weight: 70 kg
45 kg110 kg
Breakfast coffee
Counted at about 100 mg each. Café coffees vary a lot.
Your event
Mocha pouches

90 mg of caffeine from the gels
Your day in total
190 mg, 2.7 mg per kg
Inside the 3 mg per kg guide of 210 mg.
When to take them
Mocha at 2:15 and 3:15. Caffeine free Edge before that, every 45 to 60 minutes.
A starting point, not a prescription. The 3 mg per kg guide comes from the sports nutrition literature; many runners feel the effect from about 2 mg per kg. Practise the plan on a long run before you race it, and read caffeine before running for the full picture.
Which Edge + Caffeine flavour?
Same 45 mg, same LIVSTEADY™ fuel. The difference is what you will want to taste at hour three.

I never go out riding my bicycles unless I have a pouch of ucan, halfway my ride I take it and I finish my rides strong.
Jose L.
★★★★★
The flavor is great. I appreciate the added electrolytes. And all UCAN gels I have had go down easily, though these have become my favorite.
Drew W.

Fueled my run with just the right amount of "boost" needed to complete my run efficiently. And loved that it didn't nausiate me…
Elizabeth L.

Cookies and Cream Protein powder questions
If you don’t find your answer here, contact us
Twenty three grams a serve, which is one scoop of 47.2g. That is the most protein of any UCAN flavour. Cocoa carries 19g and both plant based flavours carry 20g.
Whey. It is made with whey protein concentrate and contains milk. If you need a dairy free option, take Vanilla or Chocolate, both made with pea protein.
No, it is whey protein concentrate. Concentrate keeps more of the naturally occurring milk components. Isolate is filtered further to strip out most of the lactose and fat.
No. Cookies and Cream is sweetened with stevia extract alone. Cocoa and Chocolate both use erythritol, so this is the whey flavour to pick if polyols bother your stomach.
Sweet without being sickly. If you want the least sweet option in the range, take Cocoa instead.
Twelve. The pack holds 556g at one scoop of 47.2g a serve, which works out at about $9.08 a shake.
