Recaldent and the Alpha-Gal Friendly Diet

Recaldent is a trademarked ingredient derived from casein, a protein found in cow's milk. It is primarily used in dental products, such as chewing gums and toothpastes, to help remineralize and strengthen teeth by delivering calcium and phosphate ions. Due to its milk origin, it contains the alpha-gal epitope, which is a concern for those with alpha-gal syndrome.
