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.
