Frequently Asked Questions

What is Super Starch and how does it work?

Super Starch is UCAN's patented LIVSTEADY® corn starch — a hydrothermally cooked complex carbohydrate with a unique molecular structure that is digested very slowly compared to conventional carbohydrates. This results in a steady, prolonged release of glucose into the bloodstream, maintaining stable energy levels for 60–90 minutes without the insulin spike and subsequent crash caused by sugar-based sports fuels.

How should I use UCAN Super Starch for endurance sport?

Mix 1–2 scoops in 300–500ml of water and drink 30–45 minutes before exercise. For longer sessions, repeat every 60–90 minutes as needed. UCAN can be combined with UCAN Hydrate for complete energy and electrolyte support during extended endurance activity.

How is Super Starch different from maltodextrin or dextrose?

Maltodextrin and dextrose are rapidly digested carbohydrates that spike blood glucose and insulin sharply. UCAN Super Starch is digested 4–6x more slowly, maintaining steady blood glucose without the insulin spike. This supports greater fat burning during exercise, reduces the frequency of fuelling required, and eliminates the energy crashes that disrupt performance.

Is UCAN Super Starch suitable for people with diabetes or blood sugar sensitivities?

UCAN Super Starch has a very low glycaemic index and is used by many people with type 1 and type 2 diabetes as a stable carbohydrate source. However, if you have diabetes or any blood sugar condition, always consult your healthcare practitioner before use, as UCAN can affect blood glucose management and medication requirements.
