Additional Informations
Ghee, a form of clarified butter, is a staple of traditional Indian cooking and Ayurvedic medicine. It contains butyric and caprylic acids, which are known to improve gut health and promote a healthy immune system. These fatty acids can also decrease inflammation, which may in turn lower histamine levels.
But, ghee, being a dairy-based product, could potentially trigger the release of histamine or delay its breakdown in some individuals, particularly those with specific allergies or intolerances to dairy products. As a 'clarified' dairy product, ghee has most of its milk solids removed, reducing the lactose and casein content significantly, but people with severe intolerances should still be cautious.
However, pertinent concrete data relating to this topic and the impact of ghee concerning histamine levels is limited. Thus, this topic demands extensive research for definite facts and comprehensive understanding. This product has not been researched well enough to publish any information, and our team is working hard on this. Data will be available soon.
