Over the past few weeks I have had a lot of discussions with friends about Generation UCAN and the benefits. One of the comments I hear is, "Sounds great, but wow is it expensive!". Well I am here to tell you that in the end it is cheaper than most other sports nutrition products on the market.
One of the benefits of Generation UCAN is that you don't need to consume as many calories as you would if you were using traditional gels, drinks, blocks, bars, etc... The "Superstarch", which is the main ingredient in Generation UCAN allows you to do a lot more with significantly less.
Below is the breakdown of different length of workouts

I know this sport is expensive, but to fork over $16.00 for nutrition during a four hour workout is ridiculous! Not only is Generation UCAN easier on the stomach, but it is a little easier on the wallet compared to traditional nutrition products.
