[FONT=SourceSansProRegular, Arial, sans-serif]Adults can typically produce enough histidine from other amino acids in the liver to support the body’s daily needs.
The only exception is children. Histidine is needed, especially during infancy, for proper growth and development.
When histidine is metabolized by the human body, it produces histamine. If children, especially infants, do not eat enough histidine containing foods, they may experience eczema, a form of dermatitis. [/FONT]
