Pharmaceutical Glaze and the Alpha-Gal Friendly Diet

Pharmaceutical glaze is a shiny, protective coating used on various food and pharmaceutical products. It is primarily derived from shellac, a resin secreted by the female lac bug on trees in India and Thailand. This coating is used to enhance the appearance and shelf-life of products by providing a glossy finish and acting as a moisture barrier.
