Lanolin and the Alpha-Gal Friendly Diet

Lanolin is a waxy substance produced by the sebaceous glands of sheep to condition their wool. It is extracted from the wool after shearing and is mainly used in skincare products, ointments, and some pharmaceuticals due to its moisturizing properties. While lanolin is not typically used in food products, its presence in some medications or supplements could be of concern for individuals with specific allergies.
