Ground-breaking micro-encapsulation format creates new opportunities for DAO delivery
AB Biotek Human Nutrition and Health (HNH) has launched adiDAO® microencapsulated, a new ingredient format that optimizes the delivery of the DAO enzyme and allows it to be combined with other functional ingredients for the first time. DAO (diamine oxidase) helps the body to break down dietary histamine, a molecule that is naturally present in all food types but is found in particularly high concentrations in fish, dairy products, cheese, and wine. Increased levels of unmetabolized … [Read more...] about Ground-breaking micro-encapsulation format creates new opportunities for DAO delivery
