Histamine is considered one of the strongest Neurotransmitters in the brain to increase WAKEFULNESS and AROUSAL. ⁣⁣⁣
In a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled crossover study, it was demonstrated  that in subjects with high fatigue scores and sleep disruption scores, ingesting L-histidine for 2 weeks decreased fatigue T-scores on the POMS questionnaire and decreased reaction times. Histidine ingestion also increased the sensation of thinking clearly and feelings of attentiveness (Sasahara et al., 2015).⁣⁣⁣
