THE SCIENCE BEHIND
Science helps us better understand how things are connected. We share expert insights into histamine, the DAO enzyme, and nutrition – clearly explained, put into context, and supported by relevant scientific sources.

The Mystery Called Histamine
Is 90% of histamine produced in the gut? And why does DAO matter then?
Histamine is an endogenous substance that puts the body on alert in the event of infections or allergic reactions. In the case of intolerance caused by the body's own histamine or histamine ingested through food, this is referred to as histamine intolerance. The symptoms are non-specific and often do not allow for a clear diagnosis. Since the causes are varied and there are no clear criteria, there is no reliable laboratory test.

When Histamine Goes to a Party
Alcohol and the overall histamine load?
Dracula has a well-known weakness for red. But we’re looking at a different combination – alcohol and histamine. Because sometimes it’s not one glass or one particular food that matters, but how several factors interact.
So what can happen when alcohol, histamine, and several other factors come together in one evening?

When Digestion Becomes a Detective Story
Histamine, bloating, and the connection to SIBO/IMO
Bloating, a feeling of fullness, or changes in digestion can have many causes – and finding the right one can sometimes feel like detective work. What role might histamine play, and where do the gut microbiota, SIBO, or IMO fit into the story?
