The key to unlocking your histamine intolerance?

Here I am going out for an evening meal, waiting at my local tube and casually checking I have my DAO supplement. ⁣⁣

Might this crazy four-pills-in-one supplement be the key to unlocking your histamine intolerance?⁣ 🤔⁣

We’ve spoken before about DAO, the primary enzyme that degrades ingested histamine. As much as this is a great supplement, which works effectively, in the past I haven’t recommended it solely for the ingredients used in almost every brand on the market. Most available brands contain talc (or hydrated magnesium silicate to give it the official title). ⁣

DISCLAIMER: Always check with your doctor or health practitioner before starting any treatment program. ⁣This is not advice, it is intended for information and discussion only.⁣⁣

Talc is added to supplements to prevent ingredients from clumping and sticking to machinery when forming tablets, and talc as a food additive is "generally recognized as safe" by the FDA. ⁣

That said, there are numerous articles online suggesting that it is not a great ingredient to be including in a supplement. I’ll leave you to do your own research on the inclusion of hydrated magnesium stearate in a supplement, but I won’t touch it. ⁣⁣

Anyway, this brand of DAO is DAOfood Plus and does not contain hydrated magnesium stearate. It does however contain Vitamin C and Quercetin. I ate quite a high histamine meal last night and didn’t seem to react either, so… bonus! ⁣⁣

Here are some potential benefits of taking a DAO supplement.⁣👌⁣

👉Helps to support inflammatory responses in the digestive tract. ⁣⁣
👉Boosts the digestion process and metabolism as a whole. ⁣⁣
👉Has an optimized stability as compared to some of the other supplements. ⁣⁣
👉It is a good source of the diamine oxidase (DAO) enzyme and users have reported excellent benefits from taking before meals.⁣⁣
