DAOZym®
DAOZym® - With the histamine-degrading enzyme DAO
The list of histamine-containing and histamine-releasing foods is long. They range from hard cheese and smoked meat to various types of fruit, chocolate and alcoholic beverages such as red wine. The body's own enzyme diamine oxidase (DAO) is responsible for the breakdown of histamine. However, the degradation of histamine can be difficult for many people. There are many reasons for a reduced DAO activity, but all show the same result: discomfort after consuming many foods, caused by too little degraded histamine. DAO activity is not always restricted, and often an imbalance between the intake and degradation of food histamine leads to the same problems.
Biogena DAOZym® is an innovative combination product with the enzyme diamine oxidase (DAO) and the amino acid L-glutamine. With DAOZym®, the DAO enzyme can easily be supplied as required and thus contribute to the tolerability of histamine-containing foods. DAOZym® also contains the amino acid L-glutamine in its bioidentical L-form. DAOZym® is therefore an optimal source for the additional supply of L-glutamine in addition to the daily diet and the body's own synthesis.

The enzyme diamine oxidase (DAO)
Diamine oxidase is produced by special cells in the intestinal mucosa and released into the small intestine. This is where the enzyme which contains copper is responsible for breaking down histamine from food and other biogenic amines so that these substances cannot be absorbed further into the body. Important cofactors such as vitamin B6, vitamin C, zinc and copper increase the activity of DAO, while the amino acid L-glutamine also plays a decisive role: It strengthens and regenerates the intestinal mucosa.

FAQ
At Biogena, “pure substance principle” means that we do not use technological additives which are used for the fully automated manufacturing of tablets, capsules and pills (e.g. anticaking or release agents and so forth) or additives that are used for optical reasons or for enhancing the taste of the products (artificial aroma, colouring agents, coatings etc.). Due to a semi-automatic manufacturing process, we can avoid these substances that often have a higher proportion in customary products than the actual active ingredients. In the case of nutritional supplements, additives have to be indicated in the list of ingredients. Here, the patient or customer can get useful information. Concerning the single ingredients, we also care for our raw materials to be free of carrier substances. In cases where this is not possible, we use natural food components such as maltodextrin, cellulose powder or calcium carbonate. The majority of our ingredients is produced exclusively for us – free of carrier substances (e.g. our enzymes our probiotics: other manufacturers often use lactose as a carrier – the product batches produced for us are explicitly without carriers).
BIOGENA preparations are carefully manufactured in our own production facility, BIOGENA Good Health World (Salzburg, Austria), to a unique manufacturing standard. We are certified according to ISO 22,000:2018 and GMP - Good Manufacturing Practice and have organic, halal and kosher certification. The quality-tested raw materials come from premium brand raw material manufacturers - sourced directly from the world market leaders.
