Additional Informations

Apple cider vinegar (ACV) is an acidic substance made from fermented apples. Though specific research on the impact of ACV on histamine levels is currently lacking, its primary ingredient – acetic acid – may provide some insights. Firstly, it's important to acknowledge that vinegar, as listed above, is known to have a high histamine content, which suggests ACV might raise histamine levels. Vinegar is indeed a product with high levels of histamine due to the fermentation process [(Schwelberger et al, 2004)](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/15080016/). This could indicate that consumption might lead to an increase in histamine levels. However, going by its ingredients alone is not enough. Furthermore, ACV boasts a broad role in health-promoting activities, including antimicrobial and antioxidant effects [(Budak et al, 2014)](https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/19476337.2012.756519). Antioxidants can potentially mitigate histamine triggers by neutralizing free radicals in the body [(Li et al, 2014)](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/24271001/). This could suggest that apple cider vinegar might lower the histamine level. Unfortunately, there is no research that directly investigates these conflicting viewpoints regarding ACV and histamine levels. Therefore, as per your instructions: "This product has not been researched well enough to publish any informations, our team is working hard on this. Data will be available soon". Further research is needed to fully understand the potential effects of ACV on histamine in the human body.
