Key Benefits and Actions* May help support digestion of food-derived histamine in the digestive tract Enhances the presence of diamine oxidase (enzyme) in the digestive tract Patented material with optimized stability May help support normal inflammatory responses in the digestive tract
Histamine Block by Seeking Health contains a patented enzyme formula providing 10,000 HDU of diamine oxidase (DAO) - the main enzyme responsible for the degradation of ingested histamine - per capsule. Histamine is known as a biogenic amine, an organic nitrogen compound, involved in certain immune responses and found in mast cells. It may be involved in regulating healthy function in the GI tract as well as the nervous system. Histamine also plays an important role in triggering the body’s normal inflammatory response.
An excess of histamine can be problematic, however, leading to histamine sensitivity/intolerance, digestive concerns, allergies and more. Individual sensitivity to histamine varies, and some individuals may be more reactive to histamines and other biogenic amines in foods. Diamine oxidase (DAO) has been clinically tested and found to break down food-derived histamine in the digestive tract. DAO is not absorbed and does not have systemic activity. Histamine Block does not manage or address antibody-related or IgE-related food allergies.*

I've tried many products to soothe my rosacea when it flares up in extreme weather, but no product compares to the Phyto-Renew. This facial oil feels so immediately protective, supportive, and hydrating it's like my skin goes 'aaah!'. Thank you for creating a beautifully effective product without overpowering fragrances for my menopausal skin.
My wife and I (both in our 70s) spent 18 months doing volunteer service in a foreign country. We noticed that many people we worked with were often sick with colds, flu, and Covid. Speaking with some "natural healers" in the country, they said that the population is often sick, due to depleted soils, use of pesticides and herbicides on farmed produce, and poor water quality. Also there is an almost total lack of organic food. I was sick a total of once, for perhaps 2 days, and my wife was sick twice for maybe a week. We both religiously took Not Sick twice daily, and we believe that accounts for our ability to avoid getting ill, while others around us seemed much less healthy.
I like adding it to other tea blends and drinking daily as a nourishing tonic. Since it’s not always easy for me to find fresh burdock root, having this dried root in small pieces is so useful!
