095: Can Histidine Supplementation Help Leaky Skin & Eczema? [RESEARCH]

If you’re interested in a neat connection between nutrition and eczema, look no further!

I came across this interesting study that begins to illuminate the histidine-eczema connection.

If you’ve never heard of histidine before (or l-histidine), I’ll bring you up to speed in a moment on this really interesting amino acid.

This isn’t a miracle substance by any means, but there is interesting research that’s starting to explain the importance of protein in our diet (which you know I talk a lot about)!

Low protein diets can have a negative impact on health AND your skin.

Today’s episode will share with you how histidine may be a missing piece on your eczema and leaky skin journey!

In this episode:

• Research on the histidine-eczema connection
• What is histidine (also more formally called l-histidine)?
• Food sources and supplements of l-histidine
• Can histidine supplementation increase histamine levels?
• Other nutrients needed to support histidine

Quotes:

According to the data, researchers found a dramatic improvement in eczema “similar to that of using mid-potency topical corticosteroids.”

Histidine is an amino acid that is not synthesized or made in the human body. This means that you must consume it in order to have access to it.
