How it works
HistaGest-DAO™ is a specialized dietary supplement designed to support optimal histamine metabolism by providing supplemental diamine oxidase (DAO), the key enzyme responsible for breaking down histamine. Histamine is a naturally occurring compound in the body that plays a crucial role in immune response, but when levels become too high, it can cause discomfort. Certain foods, particularly fermented items and alcoholic beverages, contain higher levels of histamine, which can overwhelm the body’s ability to properly break it down. This imbalance can lead to symptoms like digestive discomfort, headaches, and other signs of histamine intolerance.
This product contains 20,000 histamine-degrading units (HDU) of DAO derived from porcine kidney extract, offering an effective solution to aid the digestive system in metabolizing excess histamine. HistaGest-DAO™ is specifically formulated to address histamine sensitivity by providing the body with the necessary enzyme to help break down histamine efficiently, especially for those who have lower DAO activity. By supporting healthy histamine metabolism, it may help reduce the discomfort associated with histamine-rich foods, promoting better digestion and overall wellness.
The tablets are gastro-resistant with a delayed-release coating, ensuring that the DAO enzyme reaches the small intestine where it can work most effectively. This innovative technology enhances the absorption and efficacy of the enzyme, allowing it to function where it is needed most—during the digestion of food that contains histamine. Taking one tablet before meals helps provide targeted support to degrade dietary histamines and prevent uncomfortable symptoms that arise from histamine sensitivity.
For individuals with a histamine intolerance or those who often experience digestive discomfort after consuming histamine-rich foods, HistaGest-DAO™ offers a simple, natural way to support healthy digestion. By introducing additional DAO to the digestive system, it promotes more balanced histamine metabolism, making it a helpful tool for those seeking relief from the effects of excess histamine and improving overall digestive health.
