Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use protein powder with histamine intolerance?

Many commercial protein powders are fermented or aged, which increases histamine. Opt for fresh, single-ingredient sources like cooked chicken breast or specific low-histamine pea protein isolates.

Why do I feel worse after intense exercise?

Intense exercise can increase systemic histamine levels. If you feel flushed or itchy, scale back the intensity to keep your heart rate in a moderate zone and focus on cooling down properly.
