Probiota HistaminX contains probiotic species and strains specifically selected to exclude those known to increase histamine in the gut. The histamine-friendly species in this formula are delivered in a delayed-release capsule to keep the probiotics delivered to the lower digestive tract intact. Probiota HistaminX helps to support the body’s microbiome digestion and may assist the healthy metabolism of ingested histamine. Histamine—a part of our body’s biological defence system—is also found in many common foods. Fermented foods, fish, meat, cheese, vinegar, alcohol, and some fruits and vegetables contain histamine. In the right places and levels, histamine is needed for a normal digestive process, inflammatory response, sleep-wake cycle, and immunity. However, excessive histamine can cause symptoms such as rashes, itching, stuffy nose, swelling, headaches, and digestive issues. Histamine sensitivity ranges from person to person, so some may be more reactive to histamine in foods. It may seem like the only way to avoid the unpleasant side effects of histamine sensitivity is to eliminate high-histamine foods altogether—but this can deprive us of balanced nutrients from various food sources and makes it a challenge to enjoy meals. A functioning gut is a key factor in normal histamine metabolism and regulating histamine levels in the body. ProBiota HistaminX contains probiotic species considered “histamine-friendly” and excludes those known to produce histamine in the gut.
