Bloating
A feeling of abdominal fullness or swelling—often linked to inflammation and fluid retention from fructose metabolism.
Not Just a Gut Issue—It’s a Metabolic Signal
Bloating may start in the gut, but it’s often a downstream effect of how your body handles sugar—especially fructose.
Fructose can be poorly absorbed in the intestines, leading to fermentation and gas. But the deeper issue is how excess fructose metabolism triggers cellular stress, uric acid buildup, and fluid retention—factors that quietly contribute to inflammation and that uncomfortable, puffy feeling after meals.
SugarShield is designed to support healthy fructose processing, easing the metabolic burden that contributes to bloating. It’s a proactive way to help your body respond better to meals—supporting both digestive comfort and systemic balance.
What is Bloating?
Bloating is a sensation of abdominal pressure, fullness, or visible distension. It can be caused by digestion, gas, inflammation, or fluid retention.
Fructose and Inflammation
Fructose metabolism contributes to bloating by:
- Increasing uric acid, which promotes systemic inflammation
- Driving cellular energy imbalance, leading to stress signaling
- Contributing to gut permeability and microbiome disruption
These effects are amplified when mitochondrial function is low—common in metabolic syndrome.
Water Retention and Puffiness
Fructose activates vasopressin, a hormone that promotes water retention, especially around the midsection and face. This adds to the sensation of bloating and ""puffiness.""
LIV3's Insight
At LIV3, we see bloating not just as a digestive issue—but as a signal of fructose-driven inflammation. By interrupting this pathway, SugarShield helps reduce internal triggers and restore comfort."

Luteolin: The Anti-Sugar Nutrient You’ve Never Heard Of (But Need to Know About)
Luteolin is a rare plant flavonoid shown to naturally quiet the fructose pathway—the same metabolic switch targeted by pharmaceutical fructokinase inhibitors. By protecting cellular energy and lowering uric acid and inflammation, it helps restore the stable, high-efficiency metabolism that modern diets have lost.
Huntington’s Disease Breakthrough: Gene Therapy AMT-130 and the Energy Failure Model
A new gene therapy has slowed Huntington’s disease progression for the first time — a historic breakthrough. Seen through the energy failure model, it also highlights how metabolic stress like fructose stacks on top of genetic insults, and why research on luteolin is showing promise across multiple neurodegenerative conditions.
Tylenol, Autism Risk, and Fragile Energy: What Does the Science Really Say?
The Tylenol–autism debate shows how easily developing brains can be tipped when cellular energy is fragile. Our research suggests a bigger story: the Fructose Model — a framework showing how daily sugar exposure creates the same low-energy state across the whole body.
The Fructose–Insulin Connection: What Doctors Aren’t Telling You About Weight Loss Resistance
Doctors often blame carbs in general, but that's only part of the story. To really answer what causes insulin resistance, we need to look at fructose. If the engine is the problem, pressing harder on the gas pedal won't help. Instead, the solution is to improve how the cell handles fuel and gradually rebuild insulin sensitivity.
