Histamine, a part of the body's biological defence system, is also found in many common dietary sources: fermented foods, fish, meat, cheese, vinegar, alcohol, and some fruits and vegetables. Other foods contain histidine, which is converted to histamine during digestion by certain bacteria in the gut.
At healthy levels and in the right places, histamine is needed for a normal digestive process and sleep-wake cycle, and for a functioning immune system. On the other hand, too much histamine can cause unpleasant side effects like rashes, itching, stuffy nose, swelling, headache and gastrointestinal complaints.
Each person's level of sensitivity to histamine in food depends on the amount of histamine present and the effectiveness of the body's natural histamine-metabolising mechanisms. It may seem like the only way to avoid the unpleasant side effects of histamine sensitivity is to eliminate high-histamine foods altogether, but such a restricted diet can deprive the body of balanced nutrition and make it difficult to enjoy meals. A healthy gut is a key factor in normal histamine metabolism and healthy histamine levels throughout the body.
ProBiota HistaminX is suitable for adults looking to improve their digestive health. However, as with all supplements, you should consult your healthcare provider before starting a new regimen.
ProBiota HistaminX comes in easy-to-use vegetarian capsules. You should follow the dosage instructions provided on the product packaging or as directed by your healthcare provider.
ProBiota HistaminX contains probiotic strains that may assist in breaking down histamine in the gut, potentially beneficial for those sensitive to histamine. However, it is not specifically designed to treat or prevent histamine intolerance. Always consult your healthcare provider for specific health concerns.
While it is true that certain bacteria found in a healthy gut are responsible for converting histidine to histamine, which can be problematic in individuals with histamine intolerance, others may help to break down histamine and other biogenic amines, and reinforce a healthy gut barrier. This can be of special interest for those with histamine sensitivity or intolerance, as increased intestinal permeability can allow more of the ingested histamine to pass from the gut into circulation.
Unlike regular probiotics, ProBiota HistaminX specifically contains probiotic species that do not increase histamine levels in the gut. Additionally, it uses acid-resistant capsules to ensure the probiotics reach the lower digestive tract intact.
Cells in the gut produce DAO (diamine oxidase), an enzyme that breaks down histamine in the digestive tract. In healthy individuals, DAO is responsible for keeping the majority of ingested histamine from ever reaching circulation in the body. A healthy gut microbiome containing a balanced variety of "good" bacteria (i.e. probiotics) is essential for maintaining a healthy gut barrier, and healthy cells in the gut barrier are needed to maintain normal DAO levels.
