NatuGena HistaBakt – Six carefully selected lactic acid-producing bacterial strains, including histamine-degrading and histamine-neutral cultures. The formula is enriched with Nutriose, a resistant maize dextrin serving as a fermentable fibre source. Special encapsulation ensures a high survival rate of microorganisms in the gut. 90 vegan capsules for a 30-days-supply.
- Diverse bacterial blend: Includes histamine-degrading & histamine-neutral strains
- Bifidobacterium longum & infantis: Naturally found in the human gut - extensively researched scientifically
- Nutriose (resistant maize dextrin): Fermentable fibre source – feeds the included cultures
- Flexible use: Capsules can be opened and the powder mixed into yoghurt, smoothies or juice
- Made in Germany: Exceptional purity and bioavailability for optimal nutrient uptake
HistaBakt has been specifically developed for individuals seeking a histamine-conscious diet. The combination of histamine-degrading and -neutral lactic acid bacteria provides a well-balanced foundation for a healthy gut flora. Particularly noteworthy are Bifidobacterium longum and Bifidobacterium infantis – two of the most well-documented strains, known for their crucial role in establishing healthy gut flora even in early infancy.

What is Histamine?
Histamine is a natural substance in the body, also consumed through food – especially aged, fermented, or heavily processed items such as cheese, wine, sauerkraut, canned fish or cured meats. While the body is normally able to break down histamine, some individuals may experience an imbalance between intake and degradation – particularly if enzymes or supporting bacteria are compromised in function.
How does HistaBakt protect the cultures on their way to the gut?
Thanks to its special encapsulation, the bacterial strains survive gastric passage and reach the gut intact. For greater flexibility, the capsules can be opened. The tasteless powder can be dissolved in nearly all beverages or dairy-based foods. However, for optimal absorption in the gut, we recommend consuming the product in capsule form.
What role does Nutriose play in the formulation?
Nutriose, a resistant maize dextrin, acts as a fermentable fibre source and serves as food for the lactic acid bacteria. It naturally supports the colonisation and activity of the cultures in the gut – without added sugar.

Home Remedies for Hay Fever: Tips for Everyday Life
When the first pollen starts to fly, it marks the beginning of a difficult time for many people. Burning eyes and a constantly runny nose often become part of daily life. For those who don’t want to burden their bodies with additional chemicals, home remedies for hay fever offer a gentle alternative. These help soothe irritated mucous membranes and naturally support the body’s own defenses. The following tips show how traditional knowledge and simple tricks can make managing allergies easier.

An allergy is a misdirected reaction of the immune system to substances in the environment that are actually harmless. These substances are called allergens and can enter the body through the air, food, or the skin, for example.

We offer a range of different products for children:
- Gummies
- Juice
- Capsules
- Drops
All-Rounders
For children and teenagers, we recommend the delicious Wowtamins gummies. They contain vitamins as well as zinc, iodine, selenium, and omega-3.
- wowtamins KIDS Complete for ages 4–9 – also available sugar-free
- wowtamins TEENS sugar-free for ages 10–17
If omega-3 is taken separately as a liquid oil, wowtamins KIDS Multi Gummies can be used without omega-3 for children aged 4–9.
Nutrient support is particularly easy for children with our all-rounder MultiVegan – one capsule already contains 200 mg calcium, 3 mg iron, 50 µg iodine, 20 µg selenium, 2 mg zinc, and vitamins B2, B9, and B12.
Immune System
Curcuma Liquid is a delicious juice containing a phyto-complex with vitamin C and 95% curcuminoids. Our Immune Set provides all important vitamins and trace elements for the immune system as a value set.
Colostrum contains important immunoglobulins (IgA, IgG, and IgM). It is obtained from the first milk of mammals. Colostrum is also well suited for children.
Gut and Digestion
MukosaRepair Powder contains, among other ingredients, L-glutamine, aloe vera, and licorice root (DGL). The formula with plant extracts is traditionally used to support mucous membranes (e.g. in the gut) and has a pleasantly sweet taste thanks to stevia – making it suitable for children as well.
BactoGena Liquid Plus is a liquid herbal ferment containing bioactive enzymes, 33 selected microorganisms, and 20 organically grown herbs. It is suitable for adults, children from the age when complementary foods are introduced, and pregnant women. Not suitable for people with histamine intolerance. Alternatively, BactoGena Liquid Pur is also available without the herbal taste.
Minerals
If there is an increased need for minerals, the gummies can be supplemented with Magnesium Malate & Glycinate. This product has the smallest capsule size of our magnesium products.
For an increased need for iron, we offer wowtamins Iron Gummies. Alternatively, you can choose our Vegan Iron or Liposomal Iron.
OrgaMin Powder provides a comprehensive spectrum of 14 different minerals. The measuring spoon allows for flexible dosing, and the powder can be mixed with water.
Vitamins & Omega
Omega Kids Vegan was specifically developed for children aged 4 and over. It provides 284 mg of omega-3 fatty acids per daily serving (2.5 ml) and also contains 400 IU of vitamin D.
Vitamin D may be beneficial for children. We offer different dosage forms (drops, tablets, and capsules) – see our vitamin D products.
Our vitamin B complex, HydroVitamins, offers flexibility with 3 small capsules, which can also be opened. For vitamin B12, we offer a liquid product with a convenient 10 µg per drop for flexible dosing.
Dosage
In general, the recommended intake stated on the packaging applies to adults. Since children’s nutrient requirements vary depending on age, body weight, diet, and individual circumstances, the use and dosage of our products should be discussed with the treating pediatrician in advance. Please note that not all ingredients and products are suitable for children. Suitability should therefore always be professionally assessed on an individual basis.
Many capsules can generally be opened and their contents mixed into food or a drink, such as (coconut) yogurt, applesauce, or mashed potatoes. However, this should not be used as a basis for independently determining the dosage for children.
For drops as well, the amount and frequency of intake for children should be determined individually based on tolerance and need, in consultation with a healthcare professional.
Most of our capsules can be opened without any concerns. The contents can be stirred into yogurt, plant-based yogurt, applesauce, smoothies, or juice, for example.
One of the reasons we encapsulate the ingredients is to keep their sometimes intense natural taste and smell as neutral as possible. When opened, the taste and smell may therefore be more noticeable.
Did you know? Our capsules can be easily opened by gently twisting them.
Please do not open: enteric-coated capsules
For certain bacterial and enzyme products, we use enteric-coated capsules. These should not be opened, as doing so may alter the intended release profile.
These include, for example:
- Bacterial preparations, such as HistaBakt, MakroAktiv, and BactoGena 21+2
- Enzyme products, such as N-Zymarase® Intest and N-Zymarase® Inflam. Exception: N-Zymarase Komplex contains betaine HCl, which is intended to take effect in the stomach; therefore, it does not have an enteric-coated capsule shell and can be opened
- Soft capsules with liquid contents, such as omega-3 capsules, are also not intended to be opened. In this case, you can switch to the liquid oil instead.
If you have any questions, please contact our advisory team at info@natugena.de.
From the very beginning, NatuGena has used exceptionally pure, plant-based HPMC capsules in the majority of its products. HPMC stands for hydroxypropyl methylcellulose and is made from plant-based cellulose.
Unlike many HPMC capsules commonly available on the market, the coating agents we use contain no carrageenan or PEG. Although they are more expensive, they meet our high standards for a carefully selected and transparent product composition.
Our plant-based HPMC capsules are:
- 100% plant-based cellulose (HPMC)
- Carrageenan-free
- PEG-free
- Gelatin-free
- GMO-free
- Free of allergens and irritants
What types of capsule shells are used in omega-3 products?
Special softgels are required for liquid oils. Our classic omega-3 capsules therefore contain a coating made from gelatin and glycerin and are not vegan.
In our vegan omega-3 capsules made from algae oil, the coating consists of glycerin and modified cornstarch and contains no gelatin. This makes these capsules suitable for a vegan diet.
The exact composition of each coating agent is clearly listed in the ingredients list.
It All Comes Down to the Composition
Conventional capsule shells may contain technical additives—such as anti-caking agents, release agents, or binders—due to the manufacturing process. These components aren’t always immediately apparent, as certain processing aids aren’t required to be listed in the ingredients list.
Most of the NatuGena capsule products are size 00 (8,2 × 23,3 mm) to 0 (7,3 × 21,2 mm). Information on the capsule sizes of individual products can be found on the relevant product page or by contacting info@natugena.de

We work with the independent laboratory AgroLab, which we commission to perform microbiological and heavy metal tests.
In our microbiological testing, we measure the aerobic mesophilic plate count (total plate count), as well as the levels of Escherichia coli (E. coli), yeasts, Salmonella, molds, and staphylococci.
For heavy metals, we test for arsenic, lead, cadmium, and mercury in accordance with the limit values specified in Regulation (EU) 2023/915.
The optimal duration of use depends on the specific nutrient, your initial situation, diet, and individual requirements.
There is therefore no one-size-fits-all recommendation for how long a product should be taken. For products intended to support nutrient intake over a longer period, use over several weeks to months may be appropriate. In many cases, a period of around three months may be suitable before nutrient status and further requirements are reassessed.
In the case of diagnosed deficiencies, medical conditions, or the use of medication, the use of supplements should be individually discussed with a doctor or qualified healthcare professional.
The optimal time to take a supplement depends on the specific nutrient, individual tolerance, and the composition of the product. However, some ingredients can be particularly well suited to certain times of day or meals.
In the morning
Stimulating ingredients are often preferably taken in the morning or during the first half of the day. These include, for example:
- Coenzyme Q10
- Green tea extract
- Certain B vitamins
Especially for sensitive individuals, it may be advisable to avoid taking stimulating ingredients immediately before bedtime.
Throughout the day
For some nutrients, it may be beneficial to divide the daily amount into several doses.
Water-soluble vitamins such as B vitamins and vitamin C can be taken throughout the day.
Magnesium can also be divided into several doses rather than taking the entire daily amount at once. This may improve tolerance, particularly with higher amounts.
In the evening
Depending on the type of magnesium compound, taking it in the evening may be beneficial. Magnesium glycinate, for example, is often preferably taken in the evening.
In general, however, the best time to take a product also depends on when it is individually best tolerated and can be reliably incorporated into your daily routine.
With a meal
Some nutrients benefit from being taken together with a meal.
Fat-soluble vitamins A, D, E, and K can be taken together and ideally with a meal containing some fat.
Omega-3 fatty acids should also be taken regularly with a meal. Omega-3 oils can be combined well with fat-soluble vitamins.
Many plant-based ingredients can also be taken as part of a meal or together with omega-3 products. However, the optimal timing depends on the specific plant compound and product formulation.
Zinc can cause nausea or stomach discomfort on an empty stomach in some people. If you have a sensitive stomach, it is therefore advisable to take zinc with a meal.
Between meals
Iron is often taken separately from meals, as various foods and beverages can affect its absorption. It is particularly advisable to leave a gap between iron and:
- Coffee and tea
- Caffeinated beverages
- Milk and dairy products
- Calcium- or mineral-rich supplements
However, if you have a sensitive stomach, iron can also be taken with a meal. In this case, individual tolerance is more important than a theoretically optimal intake situation.
Enzyme supplements vary depending on their intended use: digestive enzymes are generally taken with meals. Products that are specifically intended to be taken between meals may, for example, be taken around 30 minutes before a meal. The product's specific recommended intake should always be followed.
Around exercise
Proteins and amino acids can be taken both before and after training.
If you exercise on an empty stomach, taking them around 30 minutes before training may be beneficial. If you have already eaten a protein-rich meal, you can also plan your protein intake for after training.
In general, ensuring sufficient protein intake throughout the entire day is more important than adhering to a narrow time window around your workout.
