At UCAN, we believe in the combined power of innovation, science, and sports nutrition. We’re on a mission to empower athletes at all levels to achieve their personal best, and reach beyond their own expectations.

It Started with a Dream

Jonah was born with a rare metabolic disorder that prevents him from breaking down the body’s natural source of stored energy—glycogen. This condition required him to be tube-fed every 2 hours to maintain normal blood sugar levels. Jonah’s parents teamed up with a group of innovative thinkers on a search for a revolutionary energy source to manage Jonah’s blood sugar.

A Revolutionary, New Energy Source

In 2008, scientists in Europe discovered a new way to cook starches. Through a patient, precise cooking process, starch yields a gentle, slow-digesting carbohydrate. This patented cooking method is applied to a specific strain of non-GMO cornstarch to create a novel type of carb that delivers a steady release of glucose over several hours. The UCAN Company was formed for the purpose of manufacturing this one-of-a-kind carbohydrate called LIVSTEADY™.

How is The Right Stuff different from other sports drinks?

There are several key differences:

• NASA developed the formula for the astronauts, to relieve the challenges of dehydration.
• Based on their research, the formula was developed without sugar so the benefit is focused on hydration. Energy is available from many sources. The Right Stuff® lets you determine the amount, timing and type of carbohydrates that you use.
• As a liquid concentrate, The Right Stuff® instantly goes into solution in the training beverage of your choice for the fastest delivery of electrolytes into your system.
• The Right Stuff participates in the NSF Certified for Sport program, which means every batch is tested and cleared not to contain any banned substances, heavy metals or any other adulterants. So even blood-doping tested athletes are confident that they can use it without testing positive.
• Based on the published research, the formula is significantly better than any other formula for:

1. Combating the cramps, muscle fatigue, light-headedness, headaches etc. caused by heavy sweating, dehydration and electrolyte loss.
2. Protecting the body from overheating in high heat settings and during times of intense exertion.
3. Increasing athletic endurance by over 20% more than any other NASA tested formula.

• The NASA research also showed that the formula is also highly effective for offsetting the negative effects of Jet Lag and high altitudes.

Award-Winning Science

To Make You, The Best Version of You.

Our Products are inspired By The Nobel Prize-Winning Discovery of Nitric Oxide (N-O) for its role as a blood vessel signaling molecule. In fact, we’re the only company in the world that holds an exclusive license to use our patented N-O platform technology. And that’s just the start.

"Each morning I get up, mix up my BeetElite BlackCherry beet juice with my morning grape juice, and enjoy it with my breakfast. I usually ride an hour or two after that, so it's perfect timing for me to feel the difference in my morning rides. The stuff is truly incredible, and it's giving me 15-20 watts at FTP that I don't really deserve (but will gladly take!)."
