Additional Informations
Aloe Vera Gel, derived from the Aloe Vera plant, is known for its wide range of health benefits, including its potential effects on histamine levels in the body.
Histamine is a naturally occurring compound involved in local immune responses as well as regulating physiological function in the gut. Aloe Vera Gel doesn't appear on lists of high-histamine foods nor does it appear to fall into the category of foods that delay the breakdown of histamine.
Research suggests that Aloe Vera may have potential antihistaminic properties. In a study published in the Journal of Ethnopharmacology, it was found that an extract from Aloe Vera had an inhibitory effect on the release of histamine from mast cells, possibly suggesting that it could potentially lower histamine levels in the body (Paulsen, E., & Korsholm, L. (2004)).
While these findings seem promising, it's important to note that this was an in vitro study, so results may differ in the human body. The exact mechanism by which Aloe Vera might interact with histamine in the human body and the impact of various preparations and dosages of Aloe Vera Gel remain unclear and require further research.
In relation to histamine liberators - foods that prompt the release of histamine - there does not seem to be any link to Aloe Vera Gel either.
From this research, it seems Aloe Vera Gel doesn’t fall within the categories of foods high in histamines, those that delay the breakdown of histamine, or those that liberate histamine. Its potential antihistaminic properties mentioned in some studies are promising but require further investigation.
