UCAN vs. Traditional Running Fuel

What is UCAN?

Generation UCAN is a commercialized version of a processed form of corn starch that was originally developed to treat a rare genetic disorder called glycogen storage disease type 1. UCAN has since been adapted for runners and other endurance athletes and boasts a unique “SuperStarch” formula.This slower-burning formula is meant to replace traditional gels and carbohydrate drinks because it releases carbohydrates over several hours and thus puts you in a metabolic state to burn more fat and be less reliant on simple sugars.
