Squalene and the Alpha-Gal Friendly Diet

Squalene is a natural organic compound originally sourced from shark liver oil but is also found in plants such as olives and sugarcane. Squalane is a hydrogenated version of squalene, making it more stable and commonly used in skincare products for its moisturizing properties. Both are used in cosmetics and, to a lesser extent, in food products.
