The Death of Gatorade?

Every week I get questions at Endeavor or through email about what supplements to take. Usually the question is, “What should I get at GNC?”. The truth is, you shouldn’t get ANYTHING at GNC. Frankly, all of their products are drastically over-priced, and the commission-driven recent high school graduate meat head playing nutrition expert is laughable and borderline dangerous…but I digress.

My stance on supplements is simple:

  1. Buy only what works (research supported)
  2. Buy from quality, reputable companies
  3. Pay the minimum amount for the best possible product (find deals!)

With these things in mind, there are very few supplements and comparably few supplement companies that I stand behind. In this regard, Generation UCAN has an amazing product that I think you should look into. Despite being a new company, professional team sport athletes in every major sport AND endurance athletes have experienced the benefits of their patented Super Starch energy source and boast about how amazing they feel when they’re on it.

Generation UCAN has basically found a physiological loophole, where you can get a consistent time-released supply of energy AND burn more fat in the process. Essentially they’ve invented a healthy, more effective alternative to Gatorade and other sports drinks, which are laden with sugar. These sugar-based drinks provide quick bursts of energy, which are followed by equally quick drops in energy levels, blunting fat burning in the process. This is especially undesirable for athletes who are attempting to either lose body fat or maintain low body fat levels. After all, excess body fat is non-functional weight, meaning it won’t contribute to improving performance and, in many cases, will inhibit it.

Note that this is for a 12-ounce portion. Your 32 oz Gatorade will have 56 grams of sugar!

There’s so much crap out there that when something like Generation UCAN comes around, I think it’s important to spread the word. Regarding my three supplement necessities, Generation UCAN clearly satisfies the first two. As far as finding deals, I recently spoke with them about putting together a special discount for our athletes at Endeavor. Fortunately, as a reader of my site you can take advantage of the same deal. For the rest of December, you can save 25% on all of their products (and they have free shipping on orders over $100) by using the code “competehard”.

You can find more information about the science behind their products and learn exactly how you should use their SuperStarch and SuperStarch/Protein drinks at the link below:

Before you ever buy another Gatorade, please read the information available at this site. What you’ll find is that the research on Generation UCAN’s SuperStarch energy source enhances performance and fat burning compared to the energy sources found in typical sports drinks. You’ll also find that it’s supported by many of the top sports performance and nutrition experts in the world. Even better, when you order through this link, you automatically save 25% on everything when you use the code “competehard”, meaning you can get superior pre-, during-, and post-workout (or practice/game) drinks for a fraction of the cost of competitors.
