Sometimes. Amino acids can come from either animal or plant sources. If the label does not provide a source, we recommend calling the manufacturer.

Amino Acids and the Alpha-Gal Friendly Diet

Amino acids are fundamental organic compounds that combine to form proteins, which are crucial for the structure, function, and regulation of the body's tissues and organs. There are 20 different amino acids that contribute to protein synthesis, nine of which are considered essential because they cannot be synthesized by the human body and must be obtained from dietary sources. Amino acids can be obtained from animal products like meat, dairy, and eggs, as well as from plant-based foods such as beans, nuts, and certain grains.
