DAO Enzyme

DAO Enzyme Support for Histamine Balance from Dietary Sources DAO Enzyme provides a purified form of diamine oxidase, the enzyme your gut relies on to break down histamine from food before it reaches the bloodstream. Each capsule delivers a concentrated 30,000 HDU (Histamine Degrading Units) dose, aimed at helping the body manage histamine reactions triggered by what you eat. Understanding histamine and food Histamine is a naturally occurring compound in the body, playing roles in immune response, nerve signaling, and blood vessel dilation. But histamine isn't just internal — many foods carry it too, especially anything aged, cured, fermented, or left as leftovers. Aged cheeses, cured meats, certain fish, beer, and wine are common high-histamine culprits. Normally, the body clears dietary histamine efficiently. But when intake outpaces the gut's natural breakdown capacity, or when someone's DAO activity runs low, even modest amounts of histamine-containing food can trigger noticeable symptoms. The role of DAO DAO is concentrated mainly in the lining of the small intestine, though it's also found in the colon, kidneys, and other tissues. Its job is to intercept dietary histamine at the gut wall, breaking it down before it can enter systemic circulation, acting essentially as a first line of defense against histamine overload from food. What it may help with: Supporting the body's natural DAO enzyme activity in the gut Helping maintain balanced histamine levels after eating higher-histamine foods Suggested use: 1 capsule about 15 minutes before a meal, or as directed by a healthcare provider.
