PCOS
A hormonal disorder often tied to insulin resistance—potentially worsened by fructose metabolism and mitochondrial dysfunction.
PCOS Is Often a Metabolic Issue First
Behind the hormone imbalance of PCOS lies a deeper problem: insulin resistance and energy disruption—often linked to fructose metabolism.
Fructose can drive fat accumulation in the liver, raise uric acid, and impair mitochondrial energy production—all of which worsen insulin resistance, a key driver of PCOS symptoms like irregular cycles, acne, and weight gain. These issues can persist even without visible sugar intake.
SugarShield is designed to support the body’s metabolic foundation. By helping reduce the impact of fructose metabolism, it offers a path toward improved insulin sensitivity, energy balance, and hormonal stability—especially for those managing PCOS.
What is PCOS?
Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) is a hormonal condition affecting up to 1 in 10 women. It involves irregular periods, ovarian cysts, and signs of androgen excess like acne or hair growth.
The Insulin Connection
Most women with PCOS exhibit insulin resistance, even if they're lean. This disrupts hormone signaling in the ovaries and contributes to abnormal cycles and fertility challenges.
### Fructose and PCOS
Fructose may worsen PCOS by:
- Driving insulin resistance
- Inducing mitochondrial stress
- Increasing fat storage and inflammation
Even endogenous fructose production (from high-carb or high-stress states) may play a role in symptom flare-ups.
Restoring Metabolic Balance
By improving insulin sensitivity and reducing mitochondrial stress, many women experience:
- More regular cycles
- Reduced cravings
- Improved energy and mood
At LIV3, we believe PCOS is a metabolic condition at its core—and targeting fructose metabolism is one of the most direct paths to relief."

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.
