DAOhead® 60 capsules

DAOhead® is a Food for Special Medical Purposes (FSMPs) designed for the dietary management of DAO deficiency and headache or migraine.

The diamine oxidase (DAO) contained in DAOhead® aids in metabolizing histamine from food in individuals with headache or migraine due to DAO deficiency. By taking a DAOhead® 15 minutes before each main meal, the level of DAO in the small intestine is increased, facilitating the breakdown of histamine.

DAOhead® has been specifically formulated for patients with migraine or headache, combining the most potent DAO enzyme available on the market with a carefully selected blend of complementary ingredients that support histamine metabolism and neurovascular balance. This synergistic formulation is designed to address both dietary histamine load and individual susceptibility, making it particularly relevant for patients in the early stages of a low-histamine diet.

Presented in a format of 60 capsules, DAOhead® allows for flexible and extended use, often lasting more than one month, and can be combined with GoDAO during the day to adapt enzyme support to different meals and clinical needs.

Take one capsule with water 15 minutes before your main meals. The 60 capsules design is specifically aimed at ensuring convenience for patients with migraine, especially during the initial treatment Phase where taking 2 or 3 capsules per day is recommended.

DAOhead® capsules have a gastro-resistant coating, ensuring that the enzyme diamine oxidase is not released in the stomach, but in a delayed manner in the small bowel. This is where ingested histamine is broken down. To maintain effectiveness, swallow the capsule whole without chewing or splitting.

If swallowing the capsule is difficult, the capsule may be opened and the four mini-tablets taken directly. Do not chew the tablets.

How should I store DAOhead^®? The DAO enzyme is sensitive to temperature, so it’s best to keep it away from heat sources. However, if taken as recommended, DAOhead® does not require special cold storage. If you are in a less frequent consumption phase, it’s advisable to store it in the refrigerator.
Can I take 2 DAOhead^® capsules together before a meal? Yes, especially when consuming foods high in histamine or when combining a meal with an alcoholic drink. In these cases, taking 2 mini tablets capsules before can be beneficial as ethanol can saturate the enzyme DAO. Please note that DAOhead contains caffeine. Depending on the time of day and individual sensitivity, it may be advisable to remove the red mini-tablet from one of the two capsules in order to reduce caffeine intake. Alternatively, one DAOhead capsule may be combined with one GoDAO mini-tablet, providing enzymatic support while limiting caffeine exposure.
Should I use DAOhead^® during pregnancy? We recommend consulting with your Medical Doctor or Registered Dietitian and testing the DAO enzyme levels during pregnancy to ensure an informed decision. If DAO supplementation is considered necessary, GoDAO may be preferred over DAOhead, as it contains only the DAO enzyme, without added vitamins or caffeine.
Is it okay to crush a capsules? No, crushing it would render it inactive. Therefore, it should be swallowed whole without chewing, splitting, or breaking before consumption.
What is the shelf life of a DAOhead^® box? When stored correctly, it has a 2-year shelf life.
What is a Food for Special Medical Purposes? They are nutritional supplements specially prepared and intended for the dietary management of patients, including infants, to fully or partially satisfy their nutritional needs. They are intended for patients with migraine who do not have sufficient capacity to digest, absorb, metabolize or excrete certain nutrients of the diet.
When will I start to notice the benefits? They should start around 3-4 weeks after beginning to take it at the suggested dosage. The benefits usually begin earlier and are even greater if a low-histamine diet is followed in parallel.
Can DAOhead^® be taken along with other supplements or medications? Yes, no problem. However, in the case of taking medications that block the DAO enzyme, such as Amitriptyline, Cimetidine, Metoclopramide, Naproxen or Clavulanic Acid, among others, it is advisable to consult with a doctor or nutritionist to adjust the dosage of DAOhead^® accordingly.

Real feedback from real results

With Go Dao I really don't have to worry about social meals or birthday's parties because it just helps me with all the severe symptons I have had. So grateful to have come across the only doctor in Portugal that has the studies of hystamine intolerance, because for sure it helped me improve the quality of my life.

Indicar que el envío llegó perfectamente...y rápido.
Y no me canso de indicar que el tamaño es genia.

I switched to GoDAO on the recommendation of the DAO Deficit Institute team, and it was absolutely the right choice. GoDAO is efficient, it truly works, and it has helped me eat foods without later experiencing histamine-related symptoms.

Friendly customer service, and the order arrived within 24 hours by courier. The box contains tablets for one month; they are small and easy to carry. In addition, you receive a reminder when it’s time to renew your order, so you don’t have to worry about keeping track of it yourself.
GoDAO has greatly improved my quality of life.

Very practical with one box a mont of small tbalets.

My name is Daiana and I am from Uruguay. I started treatment with Adriana last year, and began taking GoDAO shortly afterward. It has helped me a lot — both in feeling better and in being able to manage daily life, in addition to following a diet, which is essential, and especially in handling situations where there aren’t many choices available.

Even though I am on the other side of the world, I would like to thank and highlight the constant support I have received with orders, timely deliveries, and all the necessary arrangements, so that the product can reach the person who then brings it to my country.
Thank you very much for everything.

Highly effective. It’s great to know there is a treatment for DAO enzyme deficiency.
