Additional Informations
Goji berries, also known as wolfberries, are a popular health food due to their antioxidant properties and high vitamin C content. However, information regarding their direct impact on histamine levels appears limited – based on existing research, the correlation between goji berries and histamine is less straightforward compared to some of the other foods listed.
Goji berries are generally deemed safe for consumption and haven't been directly linked to a surge in histamine levels or identified as histamine-liberating food items. As per some online health and wellness resources, they are occasionally listed as low-histamine food (See Allergy UK’s 2017 leaflet on low histamine diets), suggesting they are suitable to consume for individuals managing histamine intolerance.
On the other hand, it's worth noting that goji berries, like other berries, may potentially trigger an allergic reaction in some individuals, though such reactions are not typically associated with histamine levels in the body. An allergy to the fruit would stimulate an immune response, which might result in the release of histamine (Allergologia et Immunopathologia, 2017).
Furthermore, research hinting towards the potential of goji berries in reducing histamine levels doesn't appear readily available. Most studies thus far have focused on its antioxidant properties and potential benefit in managing factors related to general health and disease (See Journal of Medicinal Food, 2015).
These findings underscore the need for more comprehensive research on the topic. This product has not been researched well enough to publish any information pertaining to its impact on histamine levels specifically. Our team is working hard on this. Data will be available soon.
