Proteases
Other names Proteolytic enzymes, E1101
Proteases: low in histamine. If you're sensitive to any of these, check it against your profile before eating.
Intolerances
- Histamine (+liberators / DAO inhibitors)Low
Proteases are the one additive on this axis with a mechanism pointing the wrong way. They break protein into free amino acids - including histidine, which is what bacteria turn into histamine. The enzyme makes none itself, but it supplies the substrate, which matters in a product that then sits warm.

Frequently asked questions
Which intolerances does Proteases affect?
Proteases is notable for histamine. Clear on FODMAPs, lactose, gluten, fructose, oligosaccharides, sorbitol, sucrose, tyramine, salicylate, nickel and oxalates.
Does Proteases contain histamine?
Proteases contains only low levels of histamine. Proteases are the one additive on this axis with a mechanism pointing the wrong way. They break protein into free amino acids - including histidine, which is what bacteria turn into histamine. The enzyme makes none itself, but it supplies the substrate, which matters in a product that then sits warm. Amounts vary by brand and recipe, so always check the label of the exact product.
