Bonemeal and the Alpha-Gal Friendly Diet

Bonemeal is a product made by steaming and grinding animal bones into a fine powder. It is commonly used as an organic fertilizer due to its high phosphorus content, which is beneficial for plant growth. In addition to agriculture, bonemeal is sometimes added to animal feed as a mineral supplement. However, its use in food products for human consumption is very rare and typically not recommended due to potential contamination and health concerns.
