Glucose is the most basic fuel sugar your body uses, and it has no known connection to histamine.
-
No histamine mechanism — it contains no histamine, isn't established as a liberator, and doesn't interfere with DAO, the enzyme that breaks histamine down
-
Clean profile — pure glucose (like dextrose) has a very simple composition with nothing that would typically accumulate histamine or trigger reactions
It's generally considered one of the safest sweeteners for people managing histamine sensitivity.
