Sheepskin and the Alpha-Gal Friendly Diet
Sheepskin is primarily used in the manufacturing of clothing, accessories, and other non-food products. It is derived from the skin of sheep and can contain alpha-gal, a sugar molecule that can trigger allergic reactions in some individuals, particularly those with alpha-gal syndrome. Although it is not typically used as a food ingredient, it may occasionally be found in certain nutritional supplements or medications where animal-derived ingredients are used.
