Additional Informations

Yogurt drinks can have varying impacts on histamine levels dependent on their ingredients. Certain components common in yogurt drinks, such as fermented dairy products, have been shown to contain high levels of histamine. Fermented foods in general, like yogurt and buttermilk, have a high histamine content. Histamine, a type of biogenic amine, is produced during fermentation (Maintz & Novak, N., 2007, American Journal of Clinical Nutrition). When ingested in large quantities, it could trigger histamine intolerance symptoms in individuals who have a deficiency of an enzyme known as diamine oxidase (DAO), a key factor in histamine breakdown. However, yogurt drinks, when made from fresh milk, could have opposite effects. A study (Schink, M., Konturek, P, et al. 2018 Journal of Physiology and Pharmacology) suggests, fresh milk and milk products are low in histamine and are not typically associated with increased histamine levels. The addition of certain fruits can turn your drink into a histamine liberator. Ingredients like citrus fruits, pineapple, and kiwi have shown potential in promoting histamine release in the body (Maintz & Novak, N., 2007, American Journal of Clinical Nutrition). So, flavoured yogurt drinks with these types of fruits may indirectly affect histamine levels. Another key consideration would be additives. Some preservatives, including those added into food and drink products to increase their shelf life, are potential histamine liberators. With regards to the direct impact of yogurt drinks on histamine, it's important to consider that available studies provide contradicting conclusions. The exact measurement of histamine content in yogurt drinks, and the corresponding effects, could vary significantly across different products due to factors such as fermentation methods, the use of additives, and the varied inclusion of fruits. Please be aware that although careful research was done to provide this information, definite conclusions cannot be drawn about all yogurt drinks due to the broad range of ingredients they can contain. The histamine content, whether it's high histamine, a histamine liberator, or even possibly low histamine, will vary by product. As per the requirements, more thorough research focusing on specific yogurt drink products is underway. This product has not been researched well enough to publish any definitive informations, our team is working hard on this. Data will be available soon.
