Histamine

Histamine is a bioactive compound derived from the amino acid histidine and plays key roles in immune defense, stomach acid secretion, and inflammatory responses. In the bloodstream, histamine reflects both mast cell activity and the body’s ability to degrade histamine via enzymes such as DAO and HNMT. Elevated histamine levels may indicate immune activation, allergic response, or reduced histamine breakdown capacity. Low or balanced histamine concentrations suggest normal regulation of histamine metabolism and immune function.

Description

What are possible symptoms of elevated histamine levels?

High histamine levels can be associated with symptoms such as headaches, nasal congestion, skin flushing, hives, digestive discomfort, or anxiety. In some individuals, excess histamine may resemble allergic reactions even without the presence of an allergen.

Who might benefit from testing histamine?

Testing histamine can be useful for individuals experiencing unexplained allergy-like symptoms, chronic inflammation, migraines, digestive problems, or fatigue. It can also aid in evaluating histamine intolerance or mast cell activation when symptoms persist and triggers are not clear.

What factors can affect histamine levels?

Histamine levels are influenced by immune activation, gut health, DAO (diamine oxidase) enzyme activity, and overall methylation capacity. Certain foods, alcohol, stress, or gut dysbiosis can also lead to histamine buildup.

Is it possible to balance histamine levels?

In many cases, yes. Supporting gut and liver health, reducing inflammation, and minimizing high-histamine foods can help maintain healthy histamine metabolism. Adequate intake of nutrients such as vitamin C, B6, copper, and folate supports the enzymes that degrade histamine.
