Lactoglobulin and the Alpha-Gal Friendly Diet
Lactoglobulin is a major whey protein present in the milk of ruminants such as cows, sheep, and goats. It makes up a significant portion of the protein content in milk and is often used in food products for its nutritional benefits and functional properties, such as foaming and emulsification. This protein contains the alpha-gal epitope, a sugar molecule that can trigger allergic reactions in certain individuals.
