LIVSTEADY is a patented slow-release carbohydrate: steady energy without the spike-and-crash of sugar-based fuels, and easy on the stomach. It’s the reason US Olympians use it, and the reason endurance athletes don’t go back to sugar once they’ve switched

Stomach friendly
No bloating, no GI distress : clean fuel your body can actually use when it matters.
