Additional Informations
Goat milk and its impact on histamine levels in the body seem to be a relatively underexplored area in the scientific community. The protein structure found in goat milk is different from that of cow's milk, leading to a different response in the body. However, this difference in response has not been extensively researched from the perspective of histamine levels, making it challenging to arrive at a definitive conclusion.
Research into the bioactive components of goat milk does indicate the presence of oligosaccharides, which are complex carbohydrates thought to have prebiotic effects. Prebiotics can stimulate the growth of beneficial gut bacteria, some of which play a key role in the breakdown of histamine (1).
On the other hand, some discussions on histamine intolerance forums suggest that certain individuals with sensitivity to histamine react differently to goat milk products. Despite this, the threads are anecdotal and do not represent robust scientific findings on the impact of goat milk and its products on histamine levels.
The complex nature of goat milk, with many potential variables including breed, feed, processing methods, and individual health conditions, all add to the uncertainty. Thus, while the specific impact of goat milk on histamine levels is not clear, the balance of available evidence suggests that it may be better tolerated than cow's milk by people with histamine-intolerance in some cases - although individual reactions can vary widely.
Therefore, the sentence applies: "This product has not been researched well enough to publish any information, our team is working hard on this. Data will be available soon."
