Why People Avoid Serum Protein
Individuals following a vegan diet avoid serum protein because it is derived from animal sources. This ingredient is excluded from vegan foods as it conflicts with the ethical and dietary principles of avoiding animal products. Additionally, individuals with allergies to animal-derived proteins may also choose to avoid it. As serum protein is not commonly found in foods, it is more relevant to check for in supplements and other non-food products.
