The energy gel that won’t wreck your stomach at 30km.
Most gels flood your system with sugar, a quick hit, then the crash and the gut cramps that follow. UCAN Edge is built differently. Powered by LIVSTEADY, a slow-releasing carbohydrate that delivers 75+ minutes of steady energy per pouch, with no spike, no crash, and no mid-race dash to the portaloo.
Lighter and more liquid than a traditional gel, it goes down easy even at marathon pace. Box of 12 pouches, sweet orange mango flavour with a smooth tropical finish. Enough to fuel 3 to 4 marathons or a full race build.

For long efforts, sensitive palates, and anyone who mixes their own.
Sweet tropical flavour with a smooth finish, thinner than a traditional gel. The one most runners find easiest to swallow at pace, and the usual starting point if you have never taken a LIVSTEADY gel.
No sugar means less fluid is pulled into your gut at the moment your body has diverted blood away from digestion. No bloating, no cramping, no mid race detour.
LIVSTEADY releases energy across 75+ minutes. You do not get twenty good minutes followed by a drop, so your output holds through the back half instead of falling apart at 32km.
| Distance | Typical time | Pouches | What to buy |
|---|---|---|---|
| 10km | Under 1 hour | 1 | A single pouch, taken before you start |
| Half marathon | 1h30 to 2h30 | 3 to 4 | One box covers race day and your long runs |
| Marathon | 3h30 to 5h | 5 to 7 | One box, race day plus two long runs |
| 70.3 triathlon | 5h to 7h | 7 to 9 | One box per race |
| Ultra or Ironman | 8h and beyond | 10+ | Two boxes, plus Energy Powder in the bottle |
One pouch 30 minutes before the start, then one every 45 to 60 minutes while you are moving. Take it on your two longest training runs first. Race morning is the wrong time to find out how your stomach handles a new fuel.

Many athletes combine all four: powder before the start, plain Edge early, electrolyte when it heats up, caffeine gel late in the race. Values vary by flavour, so check the label on the pack you buy.
I have used UCAN my entire marathon career. Dialling in my nutrition has been a key part of my longevity in the sport. There is no other product like UCAN that delivers sustained energy without the sugar crash. It sits well in my stomach and is not thick or sticky like other gels.

LIVSTEADY is UCAN’s patented slow releasing carbohydrate, made from non-GMO corn and hydrothermally cooked without chemicals or enzymes. It is a complex carbohydrate, not a sugar, that releases energy gradually over 75 minutes or more.
For runners that means steady, long lasting energy with no fast burst followed by a crash, and it is gentle on the stomach even during hard efforts. The same fuel trusted by elite marathoners and by former NFL Comeback Player of the Year Alex Smith.

No. Orange Mango Edge contains no sugar. It runs on LIVSTEADY, a slow releasing complex carbohydrate, so it works as sustained fuel through a long effort rather than a quick top up. Take one 30 minutes before you start.
Sweet and tropical with a smooth finish, the most rounded of the four plain Edge flavours. It is the one most people find easiest on a first race.
No. Orange Mango Edge is caffeine free. If you want caffeine, Mixed Berry Edge carries 45mg per pouch, about half a regular coffee.
Five to seven pouches for a marathon between three and a half and five hours. One 30 minutes before the start, then one every 45 to 60 minutes. A box of 12 covers race day plus your two longest training runs.
No. The texture is thin enough to take on its own at pace. Drink to thirst as you normally would.
Yes. All nine Edge gels run on the same LIVSTEADY base, so your stomach only ever deals with one carbohydrate. Rotating flavours through a long race is a common way to avoid palate fatigue.
