We appreciate your patience while we work to process all orders and testing after Cyclone Alfred. Testing samples can now be received. Thank you for your support and understanding during this time.

DNA Histamine

Key Advantages

test background

The DNA Histamine test analyses and reports on gene variants that influence the body’s ability to degrade histamine, focusing on the activity of two key enzymes: Histamine N-Methyltransferase (HNMT) and Diamine Oxidase (DAO).

Understanding histamine degradation is valuable for individuals experiencing histamine intolerance, selective hypersensitivity to certain drugs, potential food intolerances, or conditions such as atopic dermatitis.

The report provides personalised diet and lifestyle interventions to support histamine metabolism, promoting optimal health, resilience, and an improved quality of life.

clinical value

Understanding an individual’s genetic variability provides valuable insight into optimising diet, lifestyle, and histamine metabolism. The results provide unique insights to guide personalised diet, lifestyle, and nutraceutical recommendations.

The DNA Histamine report offers:

  1. Gene and genotype-specific information that is evidence-based and clinically relevant.
  2. Impact of the gene variant on histamine intolerance risk and how it affects the function of key enzymes, Histamine N-Methyltransferase (HNMT) and Diamine Oxidase (DAO).
  3. A detailed overview of histamine degradation pathways—personalised to the patient, based on their genotype.
  4. Insights into the functioning of histamine clearance pathways based on genetic variations carried.

DNA Histamine provides the client’s genotype results, and when a variant is detected that affects the body’s ability to degrade histamine, a detailed explanation of the variant’s relevance is provided. Actionable, genotype-specific recommendations are also included to support appropriate interventions.
