What you should know about liberators
The term Histamine intolerance is used for very different things. On the one hand, some people have difficulty breaking down the histamine contained in food. This is "pure" histamine intolerance, so to speak. On the other hand, some people can also have an allergic reaction to substances other than histamine, e.g. to eggs or Soy, or, very rarely, to cocoa. In this allergic reaction, the body itself produces and releases histamine. This is why these substances - even if it is not clear exactly which substances they are - are often referred to collectively as "histamine liberators", which is actually another word for "unknown allergen".
So if you cannot tolerate a conventional chocolate, for example, this could be due to either a histamine-rich cocoa or an allergy to another substance in the cocoa.
We regularly check the histamine content of all products that we advertise as "histamine-free". If you only have an intolerance to histamine in food, i.e. a problem with the breakdown of histamine, then all these products are perfectly suitable. Our carefully selected cocoa, for example, contains practically no histamine. Of course, we regularly test all our cocoa-containing products in the laboratory.
