Dihydrogenated Tallow Phthalate and the Alpha-Gal Friendly Diet

Dihydrogenated Tallow Phthalate is a chemical compound derived from animal fats, specifically tallow. It is primarily used as an ingredient in non-food products including cosmetics, medications, and some types of supplements. This compound serves various functions, often as a binding agent or to enhance texture and stability in products. Due to its origin from animal fats, it may contain alpha-gal, a sugar molecule that can trigger allergic reactions in some individuals.
