Tag: Ucan gel

According to sports nutrition research, many endurance athletes experience gastrointestinal (GI) distress from traditional energy gels due to high sugar content and osmolality. UCAN gels were specifically developed to counter this issue by providing sustained energy through a unique, slow-releasing carbohydrate that is gentle on the stomach.

Overconsumption of simple sugars during exercise often leads to a rapid spike and subsequent crash in blood sugar, a phenomenon many athletes call 'bonking'. This is precisely where UCAN gel, with its unique slow-releasing carbohydrate, is different from sugar, offering a solution for consistent, prolonged energy.
