DAO pills
Hisatmine intolerance
If you suffer from histamine intolerance, DAO pills (or DAO enzyme pills) can help to reduce associated symptoms.* Histamine is a natural compound essential for various bodily functions, from immune responses to digestion. However, in some individuals, histamine levels can accumulate due to a deficiency in diamine oxidase (DAO), the enzyme responsible for breaking down histamine in food and drinks. This condition, known as histamine intolerance, can lead to uncomfortable symptoms like headaches, skin reactions, and digestive issues.
For those with histamine intolerance, DAO pills can help to reduce symptoms.* These supplements provide additional DAO enzymes, helping to break down dietary histamine more effectively witch helps to reduce symptoms.* By using DAO pills before meals, individuals can manage their histamine levels and enjoy a broader range of foods with reduced discomfort.*
When choosing a DAO enzyme pil, it’s essential to look for high-quality options designed to support histamine breakdown. Look for a DAO supplement with a high HDU, (this is used to measure the enzyme effectiveness). HDU stands for ‘histamine degrading units’ and indicates the enzyme’s capacity to break down histamine. So, a higher HDU value suggests greater enzyme activity, which can lead to more efficient histamine degradation. Therefore, seeking a DAO supplement with a higher HDU can be advantageous, especially for individuals with significant histamine intolerance symptoms.
