My Favorite DAO Supplement for Histamine Issues

Lots of people ask me about my favorite DAO supplement for histamine issues. This is it.

The idea is you take it just before a high histamine meal (or drink).⁣

Ingredients...⁣

  • DAO — Contains 5,000 HDU of a patented DAO, a major enzyme responsible for breaking down histamine⁣

  • Copper — A nutrient cofactor for the DAO enzyme⁣

  • SAMe — A nutrient cofactor for the HNMT enzyme, another major enzyme involved in histamine breakdown⁣

  • Alpha Keto-Glutarate — Supports the normal breakdown of ammonia, which is a toxic byproduct of histamine metabolism⁣

  • Riboflavin — A nutrient cofactor for the MAOA and MAOB enzymes, which aid in neutralizing histamine toxic byproducts⁣

  • Zinc and Vitamin B3 — Nutrient cofactors for the ALDH enzyme family, which help to break down acetaldehyde, a toxic byproduct of histamine metabolism⁣

⁣It is not a miracle-worker, BUT, it does make a difference. I take it on holiday, on road trips, to restaurants, whenever I might need it.
