Marmalade Histamine Information

Marmalade, a popular fruit preserve, typically consists of citrus fruits, sugar, and water. The primary fruit component can impact histamine levels, excess of which can lead to allergies or other health issues. Focusing on the common citrus ingredient, oranges, it's important to note that citrus fruits are identified as histamine liberators. They don't contain high levels of histamines themselves, but can stimulate the body to produce and release histamines. Thus, consuming marmalade made from citrus fruits could potentially influence histamine levels if you are sensitive to them. However, concrete studies on the exact impact of marmalade on histamine levels are limited. Sugar, the other major component, does not seem to have any direct relationship with histamine levels. Similar to sugar, water doesn't affect histamine levels directly. Therefore, considering these ingredients, the potential influence of marmalade on histamine levels mainly relies on the type of fruit used. It's necessary to state that reactions to foods, including marmalade, can be highly individual. Some people with histamine sensitivity may tolerate marmalade well, while others might experience symptoms. Research on specific impact of marmalade on histamine levels in the body is not extensive, therefore, "This product has not been researched well enough to publish any specific information, our team is working hard on this. Data will be available soon". Sources: 1. Maintz L, Novak N. Histamine and histamine intolerance. The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition. 2007;85(5):1185-1196. 2.
