Diamine Oxidase (DAO) is an important enzyme in our body that is produced in our digestive system, specifically in the small intestine, serving as a natural defense against excess histamine. DAO deficiency is the lack of diamine oxidase in the intestine, and 15% of the population suffers from it.

No or reduced production of diamine oxidase (DAO) results in the accumulation of histamine, leading to the occurrence of many problems.

• Migraine
• Headache
• Dizziness

• Asthma
• Urticaria
• Chronic fatigue
