Powered by SuperStarch, a non-GMO food starch that slowly releases carbohydrates into the bloodstream, our gluten-free, vegan-friendly energy powder can be used in both smoothies and protein shakes. Create your own UCAN moment with our SuperStarch-powered products. UCAN was developed by a family seeking a sustained energy source for their son, who was born with a rare metabolic disorder. We use SuperStarch, a smart carb, as the fuel for our energy powders and bars. Some FAQs: HOW DO I USE UCAN PLAIN SUPERSTARCH ENERGY POWDER? Mix 1 serving with 1-16 oz water and shake vigorously. Consume 30-45 minutes before exercise. One serving delivers 60-90 minutes of sustained energy; for longer or more intense workouts, fuel with multiple servings. Most athletes ÒfeedÓ with UCAN and consume a serving over 5-10 minutes rather than sipping it slowly like a traditional sports drink. CAN I USE IT AS A MEAL REPLACEMENT? Yes, when paired with a smoothie. Add 1 serving of unflavored UCAN with fruits, vegetables and protein to make a meal replacement shake. WHAT MAKES SUPERSTARCH UNIQUE? SuperStarch is a carbohydrate that doesn't spike blood sugar, instead delivering a slow and steady release of glucose into the bloodstream. It does not cause a significant rise in blood insulin levels, which permits greater use of fat for fuel relative to other carbohydrate sources. WHAT IS SUPERSTARCH MADE FROM? SuperStarch is a patented energy source created from non-GMO corn. It contains no added sugar or stimulants, is gluten-free and is vegan-friendly. HOW DOES SUPERSTARCH HELP WITH ATHLETIC PERFORMANCE? Keeping a stable blood sugar is critical for athletic performance and endurance. You're much less likely to become fatigued if blood sugar is steady during exercise; you can also burn fat efficiently during your workout if blood sugar is stable
