Ambergris and the Alpha-Gal Friendly Diet

Ambergris is a waxy, aromatic substance that originates in the intestines of sperm whales. It has been used for centuries in perfumery and, occasionally, as a food flavoring, particularly in luxury culinary applications. Due to its rarity and the ethical concerns surrounding its production, ambergris is not commonly used in modern food manufacturing.
