Is Dextrose Alpha-Gal Friendly?

Caution

Sometimes. Dextrose is typically derived from corn but in some cases may contain bone char. If the label is unclear, we recommend calling the manufacturer.

Dextrose and the Alpha-Gal Friendly Diet

Dextrose is a naturally occurring form of glucose, a simple sugar that is derived primarily from corn. It is commonly used as a sweetener in processed foods and beverages, and also serves as a texturizer and bulking agent. Its chemical formula is identical to glucose, making it a quick source of energy when consumed.
