DAOSiN® is a food supplement containing the diamine oxidase (DAO) enzyme supporting the decomposition of histamine taken up with food in the intestine. DAOSiN® supplements the body's own DAO enzyme for decomposition of histamine.

When to take DAOSiN®capsules

You must take one capsules of DAOSiN® before a meal (ideally approx. 15 minutes beforehand). By the time the food containing histamine reaches the intestine, the capsule should already have dissolved and the DAO in it should be active.

How to take DAOSiN®capsules

Take one capsule with some water 15 minutes before a meal with histamine content. The maximum permitted number of capsules per day is 3 (corresponds to 3 meals with histamine content per day).

Do not chew the capsule content before swallowing. Instead, swallow the capsule whole so that the content goes through the stomach to the intestine intact. If you have trouble swallowing, you can open the capsule and swallow the content whole with water.

If you take any medicines regularly, ask your physician or pharmacist whether one of the active ingredients in the medicines can lead to reduced breakdown of histamine in food

Taking one DAOSiN® capsule before eating increases the amount of DAO in the small intestine and thus boosts the ability to break down histamine with the natural DAO. In this way, sufficient breakdown of histamine in foodstuffs in the digestive tract can be achieved.
