If a supplement is derived from fermentation, is it bad to take if I have histamine intolerance?Updated 4 months ago

Always speak with your doctor prior to considering the use of any supplement, especially if you have any condition or disease.
When an ingredient in a supplement is derived from fermentation, this does not mean that the end result contains high amounts of histamine, or any fermented byproducts for that matter. The derivation process is simply the process in which the final product is obtained through fermentation, and the ingredient is purified to remove any extraneous compounds or fermented byproducts.
According to Dr Lynch, there is a vast amount of misinformation online regarding this topic. It is extremely important to look at credible sources when reading about nutrient derivation and supplements.
