Is vitamin c effective in preventing the release of histamine?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Lowers, not prevents: Vitamin c is a natural antihistamine. It significantly lowers histamine levels by breaking histamine down but does not, as far as is known, actually prevent histamine from being released. See http://www.Livestrong.Com/article/444603-antihistamine-action-of-vitamin-c/ for preventing release of histamine in the first place consider quercitin, esp. In the form isoquercitin.
