Gout
A painful condition caused by uric acid buildup—often triggered or worsened by fructose metabolism.
When Pain Flares, Look to Uric Acid’s Source
Gout isn’t just a joint issue—it’s a metabolic warning sign, often linked to how your body processes fructose.
Fructose metabolism rapidly generates uric acid, which can crystallize in joints and trigger painful gout attacks. But uric acid isn’t just a byproduct—it also disrupts mitochondrial energy, increases inflammation, and may signal broader metabolic dysfunction.
SugarShield helps support healthy uric acid metabolism by targeting the upstream pathways involved in fructose breakdown. With ingredients like luteolin and tart cherry extract, it offers a thoughtful way to help manage metabolic stress before it spills over into symptoms.
What is Gout?
Gout is a type of inflammatory arthritis caused by crystalized uric acid in the joints—usually the big toe. It causes swelling, pain, and limited mobility.
The Fructose-Uric Acid Link
Fructose uniquely stimulates uric acid production by:- Consuming ATP- Activating purine breakdown- Inhibiting uric acid excretionThis makes sugary drinks and high-fructose diets common triggers for gout attacks.
Why It's Metabolic
Gout is increasingly recognized as a metabolic disease—associated with insulin resistance, fatty liver, and obesity. High uric acid is both a marker and cause of broader metabolic dysfunction.
Managing Gout Naturally
- Limit fructose and alcohol
- Hydrate well
- Use supplements like tart cherry extract
- Target upstream mechanisms (like fructokinase)
At LIV3, we see gout as a warning sign that fructose metabolism is out of control—and a reason to take early action for your long-term health."

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.
