Additional Informations

Hemp hearts, hulled hemp seeds, are derived from the Cannabis sativa plant. They're rich in essential fatty acids, protein, vitamins, and minerals. Primarily omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids, amino acids, Vitamin E, and minerals like magnesium, phosphorous, and potassium are noteworthy. Analysis of these nutrition components and their correlation with histamine content or influence indicates that hemp hearts do not appear to directly impact histamine levels based on existing research. Initial analysis suggests hemp hearts do not contain significant amounts of substances notorious for high histamine content, releasing histamine, or retarding histamine breakdown. Hence, it's unlikely they would exacerbate histamine issues. Omega-3 fatty acids, notably present in hemp hearts, have been observed to reduce inflammation and could potentially lower histamine in the body (Simopoulos, A.P. The importance of the omega-6/omega-3 fatty acid ratio in cardiovascular disease and other chronic diseases. Exp Biol Med (Maywood) 233, 674–688 (2008)). However, more explicit studies on hemp hearts, histamine, and these interactions might be necessary to ascertain this conclusively. Magnesium, another significant compound in hemp hearts, is associated with increased diamine oxidase (DAO) activity, the primary enzyme that degrades histamine (Maintz, L., & Novak, N. Histamine and histamine intolerance. The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, 85(5), 1185–1196 (2007)). Thus, it's postulated that higher magnesium intake could contribute to maintaining stable histamine levels. However, it's important to highlight that existing studies primarily take into account the individual compounds present in hemp hearts and their influence on histamine, not hemp hearts per-se. As in nuance of the food matrix, interactions of various components could prove influential. For a concrete understanding of how consumption of hemp hearts influences histamine levels, comprehensive research is needed.
