Additional Informations
Sorrel leaves, as part of the buckwheat family, are low in histamine content and do not appear to be histamine liberators. While no clear scientific data is present, certain features of Sorrel might even indirectly aid in reducing histamine levels.
Sorrel leaves are rich in Vitamin C, a potent antioxidant, which has been found to stabilize mast cells, the cells responsible for releasing histamines into your bloodstream. By potentially preventing the overactivity of these cells, eating Sorrel leaves might help in managing histamine levels. Moreover, they contain Quercetin, a plant flavonoid, that inhibits the release of histamines from mast cells, further aiding in the reduction of histamine levels.
However, more research is needed to understand the comprehensive impact of Sorrel leaves and their high Vitamin C and Quercetin content on histamine levels. Individuals with a histamine intolerance or high histamine levels should consider this information in their dietary planning.
Remember to always consult a health practitioner before making any significant changes to your diet or medicative routine.
