Part 9: Histidine – Immunity, Inflammation & Nerve Protection
Manage episode 477692509 series 1417462
Histidine is one of the least talked about amino acids but don’t underestimate it.
This essential nutrient plays a major role in:
✅ Producing histamine, which supports your immune system and digestion
✅ Protecting nerve cells by maintaining the myelin sheath
✅ Buffering acid in muscles (via carnosine) and reducing fatigue
✅ Supporting antioxidant defenses and tissue repair
In this final episode of the Essential Amino Acids series, we break down:
- Why histidine is critical for immune health, inflammation control, and recovery
- The best foods to get histidine from
- What blocks its absorption and how to enhance it
- How much you actually need per day
- A clinical study where 4g of histidine reduced inflammation and improved metabolic markers in just 12 weeks
🧠 We’ll also look at the connection between histidine and brain health, cognitive function, and how it helps protect against oxidative stress.
🎯 Whether you're training hard, recovering from illness, or just want better energy and immunity, histidine is worth your attention.
