Product Details for DAO
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.2
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.3,4
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.
