It has not even been two days since I ordered this product. On my calendar I marked that it's supposed to arrive on the 29th, however it arrived on the 28th! I was so excited. I watched the videos, read the reviews, everything. I have been trying different things for the entire year I've had histamine intolerance, and I thought, if this works - if this really works, I have absolutely no issues dropping $50 bucks on this monthly.So, there I was, holding my breath when I went to the mailbox to pick it up. I've been having a very productive day, doing things, organizing, etc. I ate before taking the product even though it's recommended that you take the product before you eat to help you process the histamine in the food. I am SO glad I didn't do that. I would have been so much sicker.My histamine intolerance is unlike the typical symptoms. I do not get respiratory distress or skin flareups. Mine is mostly in the gut (H2 receptors), and in the Mind (H3 receptors). There was a time when I could drink black tea daily, but ever since the histamine intolerance struck, a sip of black tea would send me spiraling into a panic attack, while COFFEE would do no such thing! That's because coffee does not in itself have histamine, but is a histamine liberator. Most people with histamine intolerance can drink coffee if they are very good about not eating any histamine-producing foods.My nightmare has become a life that I've grown used to. Rice that sat in the fridge over 12 hours - gives me anxiety. Meat that was refrigerated instead of frozen - anxiety and nausea. Dairy - nausea, dizziness,s motion sickness that lasts for days from just moving around the house. I am sensitive to all of it. Egg whites, egg yolks, seafood, even frozen seafood, wine and alcohol I have not touched ever since this started, no gluten, no legumes, SOY oh dear - soy is the worst. And I know that most people with histamine intolerance cannot tolerate organ meat, which is why I was a little iffy about buying this product.Well today, coming back from my mailbox, I take 2 pills with filtered water, and not 20 minutes in I start feeling tired. This progresses over an hour, then two, and the tiredness grows to a point of wanting to pass out. Mind, this is not 4 hours after I woke up and felt full of energy. Then the nausea sets in. Thankfully not enough to vomit, but enough to make me motion-sick that I cannot move around the house much, just like what I get from dairy. Then - the worst mind-cloudy feeling I've ever had. I'm currently loading up on herbs and teas and even apple cider vinegar to help clear my head enough to function, and as I eat more food, especially with fat in it, this feeling becomes less debilitating. I'm drinking a ton of water.I'm very, very sad. I know it's not the company's fault. These guys are excellent, come on, it's from New Zealand - it's pure gold. I have not heard a single bad thing about them, but dang. It just really sucks to hope so much, to think that maybe this, this will be it, and only find out that something you reached out for to help yourself makes you worse.For sufferers of primarily H3-receptor symptoms such as anxiety and panic attacks after aged or fermented products, as well as cold chills and sudden drop in blood pressure, use caution. Make sure to take only 1 pill to try it out first, make sure it's your day off, if you can, do this in the evening so you will not waste an entire day like I did. I -would- recommend this product simply because I've done my research, but it is NOT for EVERYONE. You know yourself best. Get a genetic test if you must, check out your genetic mutations and do your research. Keep a food journal.If you do happen to suffer these effects after taking these pills do the following:Ingest a green apple ASAP (Anti-histamine)Make soy-free gluten-free whatever-you-are-allergic-to-free toast with unrefined coconut oilMake herbal tea (I made chamomile) with local honey and 1 tbsp unrefined raw apple cider vinegar (Be SURE to add the vinegar only after the tea has cooled to lukewarm or you will destroy the good bacteria in it)If the effects are more severe - take 1-3 Zyrtec pills or Benadryl to offset the effects.If you feel poisoned and do end up vomiting, take activated charcoal pills.Unfortunately, my search for combating histamine intolerance goes on. All the best.Updated 1/8/19Just going to go ahead and give this a 5 star rating because this company really cares about the people they help. I'm stunned to have received a personalized letter from the owner of the company, Brian. Thank you very much for the full refund and the sample of magnesium oil, I look forward to trying it. Other topical magnesium lotions have not worked for me in the past due to a salt like residue, but oddly this product looks smooth and completely mixed unlike magnesium oil of other companies. In either case, it is just like I said, a wonderful group of people who happen to make the best supplements, this one just sadly did not work with my extreme sensitivity to organ meats.Anya.

After researching DAO products I decided to try this one because of the great reviews and people had purchsed multiple times. I am glad I did because I think it is working. I take 2 at least 30 minutes before each meal and it seems to be helping. I am not reacting to foods that contain histamine as much. Big difference!

There are many health benefits with these supplements, which help make up for lost vital nutrients in today's modern world.

Made me super sick, feeling lightheaded and nauseous with sore lower back (irritated kidneys) and bloating, brain fog, and lots of asthma/shortness of breath. This product does not vibe with my body chemistry at all. It's supposed to lower histamine but it seemed to really set off my body's histamine reaction like 10X stronger. I only took one pill, it made me super ill and then I threw it in the trash. Also the pills I had were very light brown in color, and kidney is normally like dark brown in color. This whole supplement is one giant NO. I had a horrible outcome from it.Edit:Several hours later I ended up going to the ER because my own kidneys were aching and I felt so dizzy and weak like i was going to faint. The ER docs found that my blood levels of certain things were way out of balance. This product genuinely harmed me in a serious way. Amazon really needs to ban this product as it's super dangerous. I implore everyone not to take it. Who knows what kind of harmful crap is in these pills. I now have lots of medical bills because of this stupid supplement.

I started off taking the liver because I've watched some videos and read some articles about the benefits of it. It's supposed to be the most nutrient dense food on the planet and well, I felt like I was missing something. Some of the health issues that I've been trying to get handled are : fatigue, low motivation, mood issues, anxiety, not recovering well from working out (or just plain not having the energy/motivation to), etc. (I'm sure I'm missing some symptoms haha)Well anyways, I've been feeling really guilty about being lazy and not reaching my potential and wanted something to help me out and so I got the liver and took 4 pills the first day. I felt it instantly and wow! I've been slowly trying to work out by doing calisthenics at my local park but I never felt like going and halfway through I just wanted to stop. After taking the liver that day I felt a definite noticeable increase in my energy and pushed myself to do more exercises! As another "side effect" my libido shot up that day too which my gf noticed as well haha.And so I kept taking 4 a day but noticed I started having some detox symptoms which concerned me. I read a couple of reviews saying how the owner, Brian, actually responded to anyone who messaged him with any concerns and so I decided to as well. I've never had the experience where the owner of a company personally gets back to you and gives you the advice you need. Brian recommended I go back to 1 pill a day and slowly work back up by adding 1 more pill a week until getting to the recommended serving size of 6. He was also really knowledgeable and shared that some people with certain types of issues like methylation can experience detox symptoms. Well, coincidentally I found out a few years ago I have homozygous MTHFR c677 so that made sense!I've also added the kidney because I had a hunch I had some thyroid issues because I always have cold hands and feet, even in the summer time. My gut also seems super sensitive and I read that it helps with that as well. I seem to tolerate the kidney much better than liver as I'm on 3 pills a day at the moment with no issues and I've noticed my stomach isn't as bothered when eating something "bad" when I take the kidney.As of now, I'm on 2 liver pills a day and 3 kidney pills a day and my detox symptoms went away, and I still feel improved energy than from going without it. When I messaged Brian, he also gave me advice on my methylation issues (adding egg yolks for choline, creatine, getting more glycine, methylfolate, etc.) I'm still continuing to move up slowly and would looove to get back to the dramatic increase in energy and mood I felt the first day without the detox symptoms. My intuition and just the feeling I get when taking these supplements tell me I'm on the right path! I will update this in 1-2 months with my progress!- Oh also, I got my girlfriend to try the liver and kidney as well because she was complaining how it's hard for her to feel consistent motivation to work out and her eczema was bothering her from sweating. I got her to try the liver and kidney after my positive experience and she was surprised to feel a big boost in energy while working out and she said her eczema wasn't flaring up too bad that day. At first she was reluctant to try these supplements but now she's going to buy her own bottles :)

Works

I have a cold feet issue from weak kidney from old age and try lots of things : Gingsen, blood circulation pills, hot tub, ginger tea but ony this one helps. It’s expensive so I will try other brands to find out.
