Liberator: May trigger histamine release from mast cells independently of its own histamine content. learn more

Coffee works as a histamine liberator – it directly stimulates mast cells to release histamine into the body. In addition, the contained caffeine blocks the DAO enzyme, which slows down the natural breakdown of histamine in the body. Because of this combination, some people with histamine intolerance tolerate coffee in small amounts, while others react very sensitively to it.
