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."
