What is Histamine?
OmneDiem Histamine Digest supplies Diamine Oxidase (DAO), the enzyme that neutralizes histamine in the digestive tract.* Taking OmneDiem Histamine Digest prior to consuming high-histamine foods and beverages helps defend against digestive histamine sensitivity and the occurrence of accompanying reactions.*
Natural
Our DAO is a natural enzyme-rich protein extract from the porcine kidney that is delivered to the small intestine.
Convenient
DAO promotes histamine degradation within 20 min after intake.
Safe
DAO is not absorbed into the body and no adverse events have been recorded with DAO supplementation.
What is Histamine?
Histamine is a biogenic amine present in our bodies and in our food supply. Biogenic amines are found in everything from dairy products and meats to fruits, vegetables, and grains. Processes that result in the microbial alteration of foods — such as aging (meat), fermentation (wine, spirits, cheese), and package processing (prepared packed foods) — can increase the levels of histamine and other biogenic amines in foods and beverages.
Allergy or Intolerance?
While the symptoms of Histamine Intolerance (HIT) may mimic allergic reactions, HIT is not a classical food allergy. Rather, research suggests that HIT is mediated by a deficiency in levels and/or activity of the Diamine Oxidase enzyme.
Allergy – An immune system response to a specific allergenic substance. Symptoms can appear quickly with very little exposure.
Intolerance – A reaction that does not involve an immunological response. Reactions can take time to appear and increase upon the level of exposure.
Symptoms of Histamine Intolerance
While the symptoms of Histamine Intolerance (HIT) may mimic allergic reactions, HIT is not a classical food allergy. Rather, research suggests that HIT is mediated by a deficiency in levels and/or activity of the Diamine Oxidase enzyme. Reactions are variable, seem unrelated, and are widespread. Common reactions include:
Solution - Digestive Enzyme: Diamine Oxidase (DAO)*
• Neutralizes histamine in the gut*
• Non-systemic, no drug — nutrient interactions, natural kidney extract
8% of people worldwide are affected by histamine intolerance†
Intolerance occurs when the histamine levels in the body get too high or can’t be broken down properly — when histamine levels exceed the amount of diamine oxidase enzyme (DAO) available for degradation.
Diamine Oxidase (DAO) is responsible for the degradation of biogenic amines ingested with food (exogenous histamine). DAO is active in the ileum and jejunum of the small intestine. It is also found concentrated in the kidney, thymus, and placenta. When histamine levels in the digestive tract become excessive, DAO breaks down the excess. When there is a deficiency of available DAO or DAO activity is blocked, reactions can occur. OmneDiem Histamine Digest supplies natural, active supplemental DAO to help neutralize excess histamine.*
Causes of Histamine Intolerance
An imbalance between histamine and the degrading enzyme Diamine Oxidase (DAO)
Histamine-Rich Foods
Histamine Liberators
DAO Enzyme-Inhibiting Drugs
Alcoholic beverages present a “triple-threat” to histamine levels by:
