Recommended for constipation, diarrhea, bloating, heavy digestion, acidity, irritable bowel syndrome and irritable colon. Reduce the intake of foods high in histamine or other biogenic amines. Ingredients: Bulking agents: microcrystalline cellulose and hydroxypropyl cellulose; pork kidney protein extract with 7% diamine oxidase (dao); coating agent: ethylcellulose; potato starch; stabilizers: sodium alginate and magnesium stearate; medium chain triglycerides; coating agent: hydroxypropyl methylcellulose; stabilizers: oleic acid and stearic acid. Directions for use: Take one tablet with a little water 20 minutes before main meals (3 times a day). DAOfood tablets have a gastro-resistant coating that allows the DiAmino oxidase enzyme to be released not in the stomach, but in a delayed manner in the small intestine, where it degrades ingested histamine in the diet. Therefore, the tablets should be taken whole, without chewing or breaking before ingestion. Safety warning: DAOfood does not replace a balanced diet and a healthy lifestyle, nor does it serve as a sole source of nutrition.
