A2 Cow Milk has grown in popularity in recent years owing to its health and nutritional advantages, since it has been shown to be high in Proteins, Minerals, and Vitamins, among other things.

So, what is A2 milk and what are its benefits?

A2 Cow Milk, commonly known as Desi Cow milk, is made from cows that solely contain A2 beta casein protein. To make things easier, Cow Milk comes in two varieties of beta-casein proteins. These proteins are A1 and A2, and they vary by a single amino acid. The majority of dairy cattle in Asia and Africa generate A2 milk. Our Indian breeds, for example, Gir, Sahiwal, Kankrej, Rathi and Hariana are the finest at producing high-quality A2 milk. A1 milk is produced by European cows, on the other hand.

The A2 beta-casein protein in A2 Milk quickly breaks down into amino acids for rapid digestion, which improves our general health and boosts the nutritional value of Cows Milk.

A2 Cow Milk contains minerals such as calcium, potassium, and phosphorus, which are required for strong bones and teeth, better muscle function, blood pressure regulation, tissue and cell growth, and enhancing good cholesterol (HDL), as well as maintaining overall nourishment and well-being of the body.

A2 Cow Milk also contains critical vitamins such as vitamin A, D, and B12, which are required for bone and tooth formation, immune strengthening, and the conversion of food into energy. A2 milk aids in the development of immunity, the stimulation of metabolism, and the provision of Omega 3 fatty acids. These fatty acids also play an important role in brain development.
