Oxidative Stress

An imbalance between free radicals and antioxidants, worsened by fructose metabolism and linked to aging and metabolic disease.

Stop the Burnout Cycle at the Source

Oxidative stress isn’t just a consequence of aging—it’s often a downstream effect of how your body processes fructose.

When fructose is metabolized, it rapidly depletes ATP and generates uric acid and reactive oxygen species, overwhelming the mitochondria and triggering oxidative damage. Over time, this contributes to inflammation, insulin resistance, and cellular exhaustion.

SugarShield is formulated to help the body manage this metabolic load. With natural compounds studied for their antioxidant and energy-supporting effects, it targets the upstream stressors—supporting your mitochondria before damage accumulates.

What is Oxidative Stress?

Oxidative stress occurs when the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) exceeds the body's ability to neutralize them with antioxidants. This imbalance damages DNA, proteins, and mitochondria.

Fructose as a Driver

Fructose metabolism promotes oxidative stress through:
- ATP depletion
- Uric acid production, which generates ROS
- Mitochondrial overload and dysfunction

Unlike glucose, fructose leads to more metabolic byproducts and inflammatory signals.

Health Implications

Oxidative stress contributes to:
- Insulin resistance
- Neurodegeneration
- Aging
- Cardiovascular disease

It acts as a unifying factor in many chronic conditions.

Targeting the Source

Rather than flooding the body with antioxidants, the better strategy is to prevent the metabolic chain reaction that causes oxidative stress—namely, blocking fructose metabolism.

That's why LIV3 focuses on root-cause control of oxidative load using compounds like luteolin and tart cherry extract that reduce both ROS production and the upstream enzymatic triggers."
