Ultra DAO

Description

Ultra DAO – Premium Support for Histamine Balance

Diamine Oxidase (DAO) is an enzyme that plays a crucial role in breaking down histamine, a compound involved in immune responses, gut function, and acting as a neurotransmitter. When histamine levels in the body become too high, it can lead to symptoms associated with histamine intolerance, such as headaches, digestive issues, skin reactions, and respiratory problems.

Ultra DAO provides diamine oxidase (DAO), an enzyme that helps break down histamine in the digestive system.* It also contains pine bark, which helps reduce histamine release and supports gut health.* Taking Ultra DAO before eating foods high in histamine can help prevent digestive issues related to histamine.*

How it works:

• Histamine Breakdown: DAO primarily works by degrading histamine that is ingested through food. Foods like aged cheeses, fermented products, and certain processed meats contain high levels of histamine. If the body doesn’t produce enough DAO, histamine can accumulate, leading to intolerance symptoms.
• Location: DAO is mainly produced in the kidneys, thymus, and the lining of the small intestine. It acts in the gut to neutralize excess histamine before it enters the bloodstream.

DAO Deficiency and Histamine Intolerance:

• Causes of Deficiency: DAO deficiency can be caused by genetics, intestinal damage (e.g., from celiac disease or inflammatory bowel disease), certain medications (like NSAIDs and antidepressants), or alcohol consumption, all of which can reduce DAO activity.
• Symptoms of Intolerance: When DAO is deficient, it may lead to symptoms such as bloating, headaches, hives, nasal congestion, asthma, and digestive discomfort after consuming histamine-rich foods.

Supplementing DAO:

• DAO Supplements: For individuals with low DAO levels, taking DAO supplements before meals can help increase the breakdown of histamine in the gut, reducing the likelihood of intolerance symptoms. These supplements are derived from animal sources, typically pigs, and are intended to support the body’s natural DAO activity.
• Lifestyle and Dietary Adjustments: Alongside supplements, reducing intake of high-histamine foods and supporting gut health (e.g., healing the gut lining, addressing any underlying conditions like celiac disease) are important steps in managing histamine levels.

DAO plays a key role in maintaining histamine balance, and supporting its function can be essential for those dealing with histamine intolerance or related health issues.
