Advice
When using DAO, it is important to first lower the histamine level. We recommend following a low-histamine diet (preferably under the supervision of a dietitian), in combination with taking DAO three times a day (at breakfast, lunch, and dinner). After 2 to 4 weeks, histamine levels should be reduced. After that, you can slowly start reintroducing histamine into your diet and/or reducing the DAO supplement, depending on your personal situation.
In addition to diet, factors such as stress, certain medications, alcohol, hormonal fluctuations, and sleep can also promote the release of histamine.
If you have any questions about any of this, please feel free to contact our dietitians, who will be happy to advise you.
