Juniper Berries Histamine Information

Juniper Berries are a significant ingredient in dietary supplements, food and beverages, and health and personal care products. Scientific research on their specific impact on the histamine level is limited, but some inferences can be made based on their known properties and components. Juniper Berries are rich in two components - resveratrol and quercetin. Resveratrol has been recognized for its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, indicating it might have beneficial effects on conditions caused by high histamine levels such as allergic reactions. Quercetin, on the other hand, is a flavonoid with anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. Several studies have shown that it may inhibit the release of histamines, hence acting as a natural antihistamine (1,2). Therefore, consuming Juniper Berries might potentially help manage histamine levels due to the presence of these histamine-inhibiting compounds. It is important, however, to note that bodies respond differently to various foods and individuals with histamine intolerance should monitor any changes and consult healthcare professionals for personalized advice. Furthermore, Juniper Berries are used in the production of gin. Alcohol, including gin, might thicken histamine pathways, leading to increased histamine levels (3). Therefore, while consuming Juniper Berries in non-alcoholic forms might potentially help manage histamine levels, consuming them in forms like gin could potentially have the opposite effect. However, all of these inferences are made from a compilation of various research on the individual components of Juniper Berries and not from direct studies done on Juniper Berries itself. This means that the exact impact of Juniper Berries on histamine levels may vary and more research is needed to substantiate these inferences and provide more specific information about this. This product has not been researched well enough to publish any informations, our team is working hard on this. Data will be available soon. References: 1.
