Chinese Broccoli Histamine Information

Chinese Broccoli, also known as Gai Lan, is a leafy green vegetable that is part of the Brassica oleracea species. It contains several nutrients and antioxidants that can potentially interact with the body's histamine levels. However, research specifically addressing the effect of Chinese Broccoli on histamine levels seems to be lacking. Despite the absence of direct research, an indirect assessment can be made based on the general properties and nutrients found in this vegetable. Primarily, Chinese Broccoli is rich in Vitamin C which is known to lower histamine levels in the body. One study published in the "Journal of the American College of Nutrition" demonstrated that Vitamin C could lower blood histamine levels significantly. (1) Scientifically while evaluating foods in relation to histamine intolerance, the histamine content, their ability to delay histamine breakdown, and their characteristic as histamine liberators all come into play. Notably, Chinese Broccoli doesn't fit into any of the high histamine or histamine release categories mentioned above like red wine, long-ripened cheese, baked goods with yeast, or smoked meats. Moreover, it contains no indicated substances that may delay histamine breakdown such as pineapple or cocoa products; hence, it could be inferred that this vegetable might not directly elevate histamine levels in the body. However, due to high individual variability in histamine tolerance and potential unknown interactions with other foods, further research would be required for a definitive conclusion. 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. Johnston CS, Martin LJ, Cai X.
