Meyer Lemons Histamine Information

Meyer Lemons belong to the citrus family, along with oranges, grapefruits, and regular lemons. Citrus fruits are known to be potential histamine liberators, as they may promote the release of histamine within the body (1). However, this does not mean that they necessarily contain high levels of histamine within themselves. Although Meyer Lemons have not been extensively studied in the context of histamine reactions, their composition is notably different from common lemons due to their natural sweetness and comparatively lower acidity. Whether their unique composition also factors into a reduced or enhanced histamine-releasing capacity is not yet fully understood. In terms of potential histamine-lowering entities, citrus fruits, including Meyer Lemons, are rich in Vitamin C which is known to lessen histamine reactions in the body. According to a study by Johnston CS, et al. (2), Vitamin C acts as a natural antihistamine by reducing the production and activity of histamine in the body, suggesting that Meyer Lemons could potentially help mitigate histamine responses to some extent. It is important for individuals sensitive to histamine or those with histamine intolerance to monitor their reactions to different food types, including Meyer Lemons and all citrus fruits. Consulting with a healthcare provider or dietitian may offer valuable insights and recommendations tailored to individual medical histories, dietary preferences, and nutritional needs.
