We understand the importance of addressing histamine intolerance. At Grassland Nutrition, we offer a few options to support your body’s natural ability to manage histamine levels. To help clarify symptoms and symptom combinations in histamine intolerance, and help you identify which product might be best for you for your personal histamine sensitivity needs, this blog will help to guide you!
How Do You Know If You Are Sensitive To Histamine?
Histamine sensitivity, or histamine intolerance, occurs when your body struggles to break down histamines efficiently. Here are some common signs that you might be sensitive to histamine:
- Allergy-like symptoms: Frequent sneezing, nasal congestion, or itchy skin without a clear allergen.
- Digestive issues: Bloating, diarrhea, or tummy cramps after eating foods high in histamines, such as aged cheeses, wine, or sugary foodstuffs.
- Skin reactions: Hives, rashes, or unexplained flushing.
- Headaches or migraines: Chronic headaches that worsen with histamine-rich foods.
- Fatigue and brain fog: Low energy and difficulty focusing, often worsened by certain foods or environmental factors.
How Do You Fix Histamine Intolerance?
Managing histamine intolerance starts with reducing histamine buildup in your body. Here are some key steps:
- Avoid high-histamine foods: Cut back on aged cheeses, spicy or sugary products, and avoid alcohol.
- Support your body’s DAO levels: The enzyme DAO breaks down histamine, so increasing it will help alleviate symptoms.
- Boost overall gut health: A healthy gut can process histamines more efficiently, reducing intolerance over time.
At Grassland Nutrition, we offer natural solutions to help manage histamine intolerance. Our Histamine Support+ Capsules or powder provides a blend of freeze-dried beef kidney (rich in DAO), beef liver (for immune and energy support), and bull kelp (for iodine to regulate thyroid and immune function). This powerful combination supports your body’s ability to break down histamine while boosting overall health.
If you’re looking for a pure source of DAO, we also offer freeze-dried kidney powder and chunks, providing direct histamine relief. We’ve taken a deeper dive below to help you decide what to test run first.
Straight Kidney vs. Histamine Support+ Blend
If you’re primarily looking for the DAO enzyme to tackle histamine intolerance, you may be considering our freeze-dried kidney in powder or chunk form. This option provides a concentrated source of DAO, derived from high-quality, grass-fed beef kidney, which can be very effective in helping break down histamines and alleviating related symptoms.
However, our Histamine Support+ Capsules offer more than just DAO. They are designed as a well-rounded solution to histamine sensitivity, combining freeze-dried kidney with additional ingredients—bull kelp and beef liver—to provide enhanced benefits.
Here’s why we chose to create this unique blend and why it might be a better option for some individuals:
What Makes Histamine Support+ Capsules (or Powder) Stand Out?
1. Enhanced DAO Support
The freeze-dried kidney in our capsules (or powder) still provides a potent source of DAO, which is crucial for breaking down histamines. But the other two ingredients – beef liver and bull kelp – work synergistically to address histamine sensitivity more holistically.
2. Bull Kelp for Iodine & Thyroid Support
Histamine intolerance often impacts more than just digestion or allergies – it can also be linked to thyroid function and immune responses. Bull kelp is rich in iodine, a vital nutrient for thyroid health, which in turn supports your body’s ability to manage histamines effectively.
We’ve received positive feedback from customers who reported improvements with symptoms like hay fever and sinus issues after using the Histamine Support+ Capsules. The added iodine seems to make a real difference, particularly for those dealing with common allergy-related symptoms.
3. Beef Liver for Essential Nutrients
In addition to beef kidney to tackle histamine sensitivity, we’ve included beef liver, a nutrient-dense organ meat packed with vitamins and minerals that are crucial for overall health. Beef liver provides:
- Vitamin B12 for energy and immune support
- Vitamin A for skin health and with anti-inflammatory benefits
- Folate for cell regeneration and repair
By addressing histamine issues from multiple angles—immune function, inflammation, and energy production—our Histamine Support+ Capsules offer more comprehensive support than kidney alone.
Why Choose the Blend?
The combination of these ingredients helps target histamine-related symptoms from different perspectives. Not only does the DAO enzyme from the kidney break down histamines, but the additional benefits of liver and kelp provide long-term support for your immune system, energy levels, and overall health.
In product testing, many customers have reported lessened symptoms, such as reduced allergies and sinus congestion, along with noticeable improvements in energy and strength. This blend gives your body the extra support it needs to better manage histamines, while also boosting vital nutrients that contribute to overall wellness.
Do You Offer Just Kidney in Pill Form?
We don’t offer a straight kidney capsule as it is a challenge to encapsulate without using fillers or flow agents (up to 5% of which doesn’t need to be declared). We’re committed to keeping our products free from extracts and synthetics, so we won’t compromise on purity. You can choose from our freeze-dried kidney powder or chunks. These options still offer a rich source of DAO and may work well if you’re looking for a pure kidney supplement. However, if you’re seeking a more comprehensive approach, our Histamine Support+ Capsules are designed to go beyond DAO alone and tackle histamine sensitivity from multiple angles.
Final Thoughts: Which Option Should You Choose?
If your primary focus is purely on the DAO enzyme, the freeze-dried kidney powder or chunks would be a great option. However, if you’re interested in a broader solution that not only addresses histamine intolerance but also boosts energy, supports thyroid function, and provides additional nutrients, the Histamine Support+ Capsules are a fantastic choice.
We believe that our blend of kidney, liver, and kelp in the Histamine Support+ Capsules offers enhanced benefits, supporting not just histamine breakdown, but overall immune health, inflammation reduction, and energy production.
Explore Your Options:
- Histamine Support+ Capsules or Powder: Comprehensive histamine management with DAO, iodine, and B vitamins.
- Freeze-Dried Kidney (Powder or Chunks): A concentrated source of DAO for histamine breakdown.
Whichever is a better fit for you, both options provide high-quality, nutrient-rich supplements sourced from organic, grass-fed, and grass-finished cattle. Your body’s histamine response doesn’t have to hold you back—take charge of your health with Grassland Nutrition’s histamine support solutions.
