Alpha-gal ingredient checker
Type an ingredient to see whether it's commonly mammal-derived and worth verifying for alpha-gal syndrome. This is an educational starting point — it flags what to check with the manufacturer or your care team. It never tells you a product is "safe."
Important. The same ingredient can come from an animal, plant, or synthetic
source depending on the manufacturer, so this tool shows what's common, not what's
in your specific product. Always verify. See our
