Triglycerides

Fats found in the blood—elevated by fructose metabolism and linked to heart disease, insulin resistance, and liver fat.

Triglycerides Tell a Bigger Story

High triglycerides aren't just about fat—they're often a sign of runaway fructose metabolism.

Fructose is uniquely lipogenic: it bypasses normal energy regulation and is rapidly converted into triglycerides in the liver. This can lead to fat buildup in the blood, liver, and organs—fueling insulin resistance, inflammation, and cardiovascular risk, even in people who appear healthy on the outside.

SugarShield helps reduce the metabolic burden that leads to elevated triglycerides by supporting healthier fructose processing. By addressing the root cause—not just the symptom—it promotes better lipid balance and long-term metabolic resilience.

What Are Triglycerides?

Triglycerides are a type of fat (lipid) found in the blood. After eating, the body converts excess calories—especially from sugar and carbs—into triglycerides for storage.

Normal vs. Elevated Levels

While some triglycerides are normal, high levels are associated with:
- Heart disease
- Insulin resistance
- Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD)

Fructose and Triglycerides

Fructose is uniquely lipogenic—drives fat creation in the liver through de novo lipogenesis, leading directly to triglyceride formation. These fats are then packaged into VLDL particles and sent into the bloodstream.

Endogenous Risk

Even without eating fructose, the body can create it from carbs via the polyol pathway, continuing to raise triglyceride levels in the background.

At LIV3, we aim to interrupt this hidden fat-generation engine by blocking fructose metabolism, which reduces triglycerides at the metabolic root—not just the diet surface."

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.

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.
