Generation UCAN is an American company that produces sports nutrition supplements. The company’s key ingredient SuperStarch was created by GlyGenix Therapeutics, Inc. The company is based in Woodbridge, Connecticut and is privately held. In 2006 Shoba Murali was named CEO of the company and Peter Kaufman was named Executive Vice President. A young boy named Jonah would have to be tube fed every 2 hours in order to stabilize his blood sugar levels. Jonah’s parents set out to find a cure for their son. They went about raising funding, building awareness, and gathering research about his specific condition. This would eventually lead to a scientific discovery that would completely transform the life of them and their son. This discovery was known as “SuperStarch”. Following this additional discovery, the product underwent extended use clinical trials. It was found that this revolutionary formula could enhance physical performance, weight loss, and enhance well-being. These specific ingredients would go on to be examined by numerous dieticians and researchers. Their objective was to identify a source of energy that maintained human blood sugar levels for the longest period of time possible. SuperStarch was created for this very purpose and is now regarded as a revolutionary energy source.
