Ketosis

A fat-burning state triggered by carb restriction—often blocked by fructose metabolism and low mitochondrial function.

Ketosis Thrives on Clean, Efficient Energy

Reaching ketosis is hard. Staying there is harder—especially when hidden metabolic stress disrupts your cellular energy.

Fructose metabolism depletes ATP, increases uric acid, and can block fat oxidation—making it harder for your body to generate and sustain ketones. Even on a low-carb diet, internal fructose production from stress or high salt can quietly undermine ketosis and drive cravings.

SugarShield supports cleaner energy production by helping the body manage the downstream effects of fructose metabolism. Whether you're fasting, keto-adapted, or just starting out, it can help sustain the clarity, energy, and fat-burning edge that ketosis promises.

What is Ketosis?

Ketosis is a metabolic state where the body burns fat for fuel instead of carbohydrates. It produces molecules called ketones that provide energy to the brain and muscles—common in low-carb or fasting regimens.

Benefits of Ketosis

- Improved fat burning
- Reduced cravings
- Better focus and mental clarity
- Enhanced metabolic flexibility

Fructose Disrupts Ketosis

Fructose metabolism:
- Produces uric acid, which suppresses AMPK (a fat-burning switch)
- Inhibits mitochondrial enzymes required for ketone production
- Increases liver fat, which blocks ketone synthesis

This means fructose may prevent or blunt the benefits of ketosis—even in those following a low-carb diet.

How LIV3 Supports Ketosis

SugarShield helps by:
- Blocking fructokinase, preventing the metabolic derailment
- Reducing uric acid, restoring mitochondrial function
- Supporting deeper, more consistent ketone production

It's an ideal complement to ketogenic and fasting protocols—targeting the hidden factor that often holds people back."

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.
