ost sports nutrition runs on sugar. You take a gel, you get twenty minutes, you take another one. Repeat that for four hours and hope your stomach holds up. LIVSTEADY works differently. One serve releases energy gradually over 75 minutes or more, so you fuel less often and finish stronger.

A sugar gel buys you twenty to thirty minutes. LIVSTEADY buys you 75 or more. Across a four hour marathon that is the difference between carrying nine gels and carrying three. Fewer wrappers in your pocket, fewer alarms on your watch, fewer decisions at 32km when your brain has checked out.
One Edge pouch holds 15g of LIVSTEADY. Take it, keep moving. No sipping every ten minutes the way you would with a traditional sports drink, and no topping up before you have finished the last one.


Fatigue is the inverse of performance. Hold your energy level instead of riding it up and down, and you hold your pace deeper into the session. Runners notice it most in the final third of a long run, where the fade usually starts.
Simple carbohydrates arrive fast and leave fast. You feel the lift, then you feel worse than before you started. LIVSTEADY is a slow release complex carbohydrate, so the energy comes gradually and stays.


Athletes notice this one first. LIVSTEADY needs very little water to digest. Sugar gels pull water into your gut, which causes the sloshing and cramping that sends runners hunting for a portaloo at 30km. UCAN research recorded almost no gastrointestinal symptoms.
Your brain runs on glucose. When energy drops, concentration goes with it, and that is when pacing falls apart and form gets sloppy. Level energy keeps your head in the race.

LIVSTEADY came out of work on a rare inherited condition in children who needed food that released energy slowly over many hours. Peer reviewed studies have since compared it against maltodextrin and simple sugars in endurance settings. Every UCAN product is built on it.
