Digestive comfort, histamine metabolism support
Cheers to digestive comfort! If you experience occasional gas and stomach upset, as well as other gastrointestinal discomforts when enjoying wine, cured meats, cheese, fermented foods or citrus, you may have a sensitivity to dietary histamine. (Note: this is not the same as a food allergy.) Our formula helps you make friends with your food again by supporting the healthy breakdown of intestinal histamine to encourage gastrointestinal comfort.
What is Food Sensitivity Relief* with Diamine Oxidase (DAO)?
Digestive comfort may not always be on the menu when we pair a glass of wine (or beer) with snacks like cured meats, cheeses, citrus and fermented foods. Food Sensitivity Relief with Diamine Oxidase is formulated to help relieve occasional non-allergy digestive discomfort associated with dietary histamine sensitivity.
Make friends with your favorite foods again by encouraging healthy metabolism of histamine-rich foods like cured meats, cheeses and wine.
Food Sensitivity Relief with Diamine Oxidase
- Helps alleviate occasional gas and stomach upset, as well as other gastrointestinal discomforts
- Supports histamine metabolism for digestive comfort
- Provides support for when you snack on histamine-rich foods and drinks like cured meats, cheeses, wine
How to Stay Comfortable After You Eat
Cured meats, cheeses, wine, and other histamine-rich foods make for a delicious charcuterie board, but not everyone can digest these treats comfortably. Our plant-based DAO formula helps relieve occasional non-allergy digestive discomfort associated with intestinal dietary histamine sensitivity. One more thing: many DAO formulas utilize enzymes derived from animals—usually pork. But our formula uses diamine oxidase from pea sprouts. It’s got the same capacity to break down histamine as animal-based DAO…no pork bellies required.
What is a food sensitivity?
Short answer: a food sensitivity is when the body responds to compounds in the food you eat. A food sensitivity (sometimes referred to as a food intolerance) can cause occasional gastrointestinal discomfort, and is often difficult to identify. A food sensitivity is not an allergic reaction.
That said, non-allergy food sensitivities are more common than you think: currently, almost 20% of the Westernized world’s population experience some type of food intolerance.1 Histamine is a compound found in many foods and drinks that has been associated with food sensitivity.
Histamine is a compound found in many foods and drinks that has been associated with food sensitivity such as occasional gas, stomach upset, as well as other gastrointestinal discomforts.
Diamine oxidase in clinical studies
Diamine oxidase (DAO) is the main enzyme that supports the healthy breakdown of intestinal histamine and encourages gastrointestinal comfort.
In a randomized clinical trial, participants who took dietary DAO supplementation 20 minutes before a main meal for eight weeks reported relief from occasional gastrointestinal discomfort.
Research also points to the effectiveness of DAO supplements in inhibiting the incidence and intensity of discomfort due to occasional food sensitivity associated with intestinal dietary histamine sensitivity.
Plant-derived DAO
Many sources of supplementary DAO are derived from pig kidneys. But our formula provides pea sprouts derived DAO with equivalent capacity to break down histamine as used in clinical studies.

FAQ
What is histamine?
Histamine is a compound that plays a role in the body’s immune response. It is released in the body and can be produced by gut bacteria. Histamine can also be found in or increased by many foods and drinks. Excessive levels of histamine in the gut can cause occasional gastrointestinal-related discomfort including gas and bloating. The body has several enzymes that help break down this compound.
What types of foods are considered histamine-rich?
Histamine-rich foods and drinks are very common. Some of these include cured and deli meats, different types of cheese, alcoholic beverages like wine and beer, oily fish and even certain fruits and vegetables like citrus, tomatoes and strawberries.
Is histamine sensitivity considered an allergy?
No, histamine sensitivities are considered a sensitivity to histamine ingested from foods. Food sensitivities are the body’s response to compounds in the food you eat, sometimes referred to as food intolerances. Sensitivities are not considered to be the same as an allergic reaction. They may manifest in the form of occasional gastrointestinal discomforts.
Does this product break down whole-body histamine?
No, this product is only intended to help support the breakdown of intestinal histamine associated with non-allergy histamine-food sensitivity.
What is diamine oxidase (DAO)?
Diamine oxidase (DAO) is an enzyme produced by the body that breaks down histamine and is the primary way the body metabolizes histamine in the GI tract. Its activity is measured in HDU, or histamine degrading units. It can be more difficult for people with low levels of DAO to maintain a healthy balance of histamine.
What is in Food Sensitivity Relief with Diamine Oxidase (DAO)?
Food Sensitivity Relief with Diamine Oxidase contains 20,000 HDU of the enzyme diamine oxidase (DAO), derived from pea sprouts. HDU stands for histamine degrading units and is a measure of enzyme activity.
Who is Food Sensitivity Relief with Diamine Oxidase intended for?
Food Sensitivity Relief with Diamine Oxidase is intended for those who need help breaking down and metabolizing histamine in the gut and alleviating occasional discomforts associated with dietary histamine sensitivity.
When can I expect an effect?
In a study of people who took DAO immediately after eating histamine-rich foods, benefits were seen immediately. More long-term effects were observed after taking DAO daily for 4-8 weeks. Everybody is unique, however, so the time it takes to notice benefits can vary from person to person. We suggest following the study duration to determine product efficacy.
When is the best time to take Food Sensitivity Relief with Diamine Oxidase? Should it be taken with food or on an empty stomach?
We suggest taking one capsule before your heaviest meals, up to three times daily.
Will this supplement interact with my medication?
There is no indication that the nutrient in this formula would negatively interact with prescription medications. However, we always suggest that you inform your physician of any supplements you are taking.
