Seeking Health Histamine Digest (Formerly Histamine Block) DAO Supplement
Do you experience bloating, gas, or headaches after eating aged cheese, drinking a glass of red wine, or enjoying a spinach salad? You may be dealing with histamine intolerance. Histamine Digest provides a targeted digestive enzyme, diamine oxidase (DAO), to help your body break down histamine from food and drinks, allowing you to enjoy mealtime again with confidence and comfort.*
Important: Not for Allergies
Histamine Digest is designed for food intolerance due to histamine, not for food allergies. It will NOT prevent or stop an immune-related allergic reaction (e.g., to peanuts, shellfish, etc.). Do not use this product to eat foods to which you have a known allergy.
Enjoy Food Freedom Again*
Histamine is found in many healthy and delicious foods. For those whose bodies don’t produce enough of the DAO enzyme, these foods can lead to uncomfortable digestive issues. By taking Histamine Digest just 15 minutes before your meal, you supply your gut with the specific enzyme needed to break down histamine, supporting relief from occasional gas, bloating, and stomach upset.*
How DAO Supports Histamine Digestion*
Diamine Oxidase (DAO) is the primary enzyme responsible for breaking down histamine in your digestive tract. When histamine from food is not properly metabolized, it can build up and lead to discomfort. Histamine Digest delivers a potent, standardized dose of DAO directly to the small intestine where it can act on food, helping to neutralize dietary histamine before it’s absorbed.*
For a deeper understanding of this condition, you can learn more about Histamine Intolerance from the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition.
Expert Review
“Histamine intolerance is often overlooked as a source of chronic digestive distress. The primary mechanism is a deficiency in the DAO enzyme. Supplementing with a high-quality, stable DAO source like Histamine Digest is a direct and effective strategy for managing symptoms. It allows patients to broaden their diet while addressing the root enzymatic issue. It is crucial, however, that patients understand this is not a treatment for IgE-mediated food allergies.”

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What is histamine intolerance?
Histamine intolerance is not a true allergy but occurs when the body has a build-up of histamine and cannot break it down effectively, often due to low levels of the DAO enzyme. This can lead to digestive issues, headaches, and other symptoms after consuming high-histamine foods.
How is this different from an antihistamine medication?
Antihistamine medications work by blocking histamine receptors throughout the body. Histamine Digest works in the gut to break down histamine from food before it is absorbed. It does not block histamine receptors and acts only on dietary histamine.
What are some common high-histamine foods?
Common examples include fermented foods (sauerkraut, yogurt), aged cheeses, cured meats (salami, bacon), alcoholic beverages (especially red wine and beer), spinach, avocados, tomatoes, and leftover foods.
