Chronic hives are annoying and frustrating- uncovering the root cause of hives is essential. In this episode, we discuss potential causes for chronic hives and discuss histamine intolerance.

Here are the research articles shared as it relates to vitamin C and histamine:

A small study in 89 people with allergies or infectious diseases showed that those who received a 7.5 gram IV (intravenous) infusion of vitamin C had about 50% less histamine in their blood

7.5-gram dose via IV was associated with a reduction in allergy symptoms like runny nose, sneezing, itching, restlessness, and sleep problems in 97% of people with allergies. Only 1 person out of 71 reported side effects

A high quality study also tested a vitamin C nasal spray in 60 people with allergy symptoms, including sneezing and runny nose. The study found it improved symptoms by 74%
