Hista Protect

What is Hista Protect? Hista Protect™ is a patented enzyme formula containing diamine oxidase (DAO)—the main enzyme responsible for the degradation of ingested histamine. This enzyme has been clinically tested and found to break down food-derived histamine in the digestive tract. DAO is not absorbed and does not have systemic activity. Hista Protect does not manage or address antibody-related or IgE-related food allergies. What is Histamine? Histamine is an important neurotransmitter and immune messenger molecule.
