Magnesium Stearate and the Alpha-Gal Friendly Diet
Magnesium Stearate is a white, water-insoluble powder composed of magnesium and stearic acid. It is widely used in the pharmaceutical and supplement industry due to its properties as a lubricant and anti-adherent, which helps in the manufacturing process of tablets and capsules by preventing ingredients from sticking to the equipment. While it can be derived from both animal and vegetable sources, its animal-derived form may not be suitable for those following certain dietary restrictions.
