About

SuperStarch® UCAN SuperStarch® is a patented energy source, without sugar or stimulants, that delivers a slow-release of carbohydrates to steady your blood sugar. HOW IT WORKS SuperStarch is a complex carbohydrate that doesn’t spike blood sugar, delivering a slow and steady release of glucose into the bloodstream. Stable blood sugar provides steady energy to both the muscles and the brain, and controls cravings caused by blood sugar lows. About UCAN 2001 - It Started with a Dream Jonah is born with a rare metabolic disorder that prevents him from breaking down the body’s natural source of stored energy – glycogen. This condition requires him to be tube-fed every 2 hours to maintain normal blood sugar levels. Jonah and his parents aren’t able to enjoy the simple luxury of sleeping more than a few hours at a time. A solution to their unique challenge is still just a dream. 2004 - The Search Begins Jonah’s family teams up with a group of innovative thinkers in a search for a revolutionary energy source to help manage blood sugar levels. All types of carbohydrates are evaluated – pea starch, lentils, legumes, oats, rice, tapioca and more – in an effort to find the most effective food source for steady, long-lasting energy. 2008 - A Revolutionary, New Energy Source A new discovery is made in the way starches are cooked. A patient, precise cooking process developed by scientists in Europe yields a gentle, slow-digesting carbohydrate. This patented cooking method is applied to non-GMO cornstarch to deliver a steady release of glucose over several hours. The UCAN Company is formed for the purpose of manufacturing this one-of-a-kind carbohydrate, which we name SuperStarch®. 2009 - Powered by SuperStarch® Jonah and his parents are finally able to sleep throughout the night thanks to the steady, long-lasting energy from SuperStarch™. We conduct a clinical trial examining the impact of SuperStarch® on athletes’ energy levels. Leading nutrition experts like Dr. Jeff Volek and Ol
