4. Society doesn’t give importance that MIGRAINE deserve, associating it with a simple headache, and resignation arises. However, it’s an illness that affects the family, social and economic life of those who suffer. It significantly alters sufferers lifes within and beyond the work sphere and greatly affects their quality of life.

7. Histamine, a molecule present in all living creatures and in food, is a vital substance for the body. It is present in all food products but in different proportions. Thus, histamine is necessary for life . However, histamine can accumulate excessively and have negative effects. On the other hand, it is also naturally present in many food products. Consumption of such food is harmless, as the histamine they contain can be quickly broken down and processed by the enzyme DiAminoOxidase (DAO), which occurs in the body. About Histamine
8. Food histaminosis is quite simply an imbalance of histamine and the enzyme DAO in the body. The deficiency of DAO activity means that the body is not in the position to breakdown ingested histamine quickly enough. Ingested histamine is broken down significantly more slowly and accumulates within the body. The body then reacts to the accumulated histamine with side effects, the most incapacitant is the migraine. About Histamine - What is histaminosis?

12. 1 Pellet encapsulate DAO degrades approx. 40 ng / ml (39.2 ± 2.3) Histamine. The increases of the in taking of DAO, results in a linear increase in the degradation of histamine (R2 = 0.995 and R2 = 0.985). About Histamine - Degradation

14. Too much histamine ingested through Eating too much food containing histamine Too little DAO Ingesting substances that block DAO
15. Histamine is formed from histidine. From a nutritional perspective, histidine is considered one of the nine essential amino acids. Eggs, cheese, milk, beef, chicken, pork, bacon, venison, fish, beef, cod, soy protein, banana, mustard seeds, seaweed, cottonseed meal, sesame seeds sunflower seeds, and yeast are examples of foods that contain a relatively high amount of histidine It is not a good idea to solve the problem of histamine only by reducing the consumption of histidine. HISTIDINE is involved in much more than the production of histamine. To give just one example, histidine is essential for the stabilization of the oxygen binds to hemoglobin in iron ions. In other words without HISTIDINE , the red blood cells would not be able to carry oxygen to the tissues in the body . About Histamine - What can happen if we make a diet low in histamine?

The average value obtained for DAO activity is lower among the group of migraine sufferers, with a significant difference observed (p = 0.001) 46% 48,2% 5.2%
