Histamine Blood Test

Service Description

Histamine Blood Test Kit: Nutripath Histamine is a biologically active amine that plays a critical role in immune responses, gut regulation, and as a neurotransmitter in the brain. Imbalances in histamine levels have been linked to a variety of health conditions, including allergies, mental health disorders, and neurodevelopmental issues such as schizophrenia, anxiety, depression, autism, and behavioral disorders. Though histamine is most commonly associated with allergic reactions, it also functions as a neurotransmitter similar to serotonin and dopamine. Histamine is involved in regulating the wake-sleep cycle, arousal, alertness, learning, and memory. It influences appetite, pain perception, and interacts with other neurotransmitters. Disruptions in histamine levels—whether elevated or deficient—are associated with mental health concerns. Low Histamine Levels: Symptoms may include depression, anxiety, lack of motivation, and emotional challenges such as self-harm tendencies. High Histamine Levels: High histamine has been implicated in conditions such as schizophrenia, obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), anorexia, bulimia, autism, and severe mood disturbances, including depression. These individuals may also experience a higher sensitivity to pain, headaches, allergies, and phobias. Common Conditions Associated with Histamine Imbalances: Depression Difficulty losing weight Elevated pain threshold Low libido and sexual dysfunction (e.g., difficulty achieving orgasm) Anxiety, obsessive-compulsive tendencies, or mood swings Test Overview: The Nutripath Histamine test kit measures the level of histamine in the body.
