What is histamine?
A simple definition is a chemical that is both made by the body and found naturally in certain foods.
In the body, it’s produced by mast cells (a type of white blood cell) and has a crucial role in our immune system.
It's actually the key mediator in causing the symptoms of allergy, which is why we take antihistamines for allergy relief.
Histamine also occurs in our food as a by-product of the fermentation of Histidine, which is a form of protein.
In this context, it’s part of a family of chemicals known as Biogenic Amines, which are produced by bacteria during fermentation, storage or decay (1, 2).
While high levels of biogenic amines (such as histamine) can make you feel unwell, the majority of people tolerate the amounts found in a regular diet.
